What’s New Version 4.0.3

Description
If you find yourself spending too much time on social media, short-form videos, or games, Cape can help you stay focused by pausing excess app usage and restoring access at the right time.
By adding gentle pauses and clear boundaries, Cape helps reduce distraction, curb impulsive app openings, and support healthier digital habits -— especially for people who struggle with attention or ADHD-related challenges.
What you can do with Cape:
- Set daily screen time limits: Apps pause automatically when you reach your limit.
- Take a Break: Cape pauses apps after extended usage and resumes them automatically once your break ends.
- Customize the Pause Screen with a personal message, countdown, and usage summary, shown when you open paused apps to help you stay mindful.
- Use On-demand Access and Delayed Resume to reduce impulsive app openings.
- Automate with Allow Zones & Block Zones, schedules, and Shortcuts to control access automatically.
- Stay informed with notifications and reports.
With Cape, pausing excess screen time becomes automatic, intentional, and easy.
