A restriction profile is a named set of categories to block during a focus session — for example, “No Social Mode” might block Social Networking and Games. When a tag is scanned, FocusFlow applies a profile.
Only Admins and Tag Admins can create or change profiles. Every organisation starts with a default profile you can edit.

The categories

FocusFlow uses a shared set of categories across iOS and Android so the experience is identical on every device:

Social Networking

Games

Entertainment

Productivity

Education

Creativity

Health & Fitness

Reading & Reference

Other

Create a profile

1

Open Restriction Profiles

From the dashboard, go to Restriction Profiles and choose New profile.
2

Name and describe it

Give it a clear name (e.g. “Exam Focus”) and an optional description so your team knows when to use it.
3

Choose what to block

Tick the categories this profile should block. You can also choose an icon to make it easy to recognise on devices.
4

Save

Select Create. The profile is now available to everyone in your organisation.

Default profile

If no policy matches a scan, FocusFlow applies your organisation’s default profile. Mark the profile you want as the fallback as default — only one profile can be the default at a time.
Keep one broad, sensible default (e.g. block Social Networking + Games + Entertainment), then create more specific profiles for special situations like exams or reading time.

Editing on a device

Admins and Tag Admins can also tweak a profile from the mobile app: long‑press a profile card on the main screen to toggle its categories. Changes sync back to your organisation.

Categories vs apps

A profile chooses categories, not individual apps. Each device then maps those categories to its own installed apps in Authorised Scope. This is what keeps blocking consistent across different phones — and on iOS, privacy‑preserving.
