What’s New Version 1.0.5

A shield that always shows the right state, faster notifications in Focus modes, and a bunch of little fixes to make everything smoother.

Description

For chess players who want to actually get better. Endless scrolling steals the hours you'd rather spend improving. Chess Shield blocks the apps that eat your chess time. Try to open one, and a puzzle takes over the screen. Solve it to get past. Every solve moves your ELO. HOW IT WORKS Pick the apps you reach for when you meant to study. Instagram, TikTok, X, whatever's eating you. When you try to open them, a puzzle takes over. Solve it to unlock the app for a few minutes. The puzzles match your level. Type your chess.com or Lichess ELO and we'll start there. Or skip the input and we'll test you with three puzzles. From then on, every puzzle is challenging enough to make you think, solvable enough that you'll get there. Insights show you which tactics keep tripping you up. Your ELO moves in real time on every solve. FREE INCLUDES – Unlimited puzzles, matched to your ELO – 6 starter tactics: Fork, Pin, Skewer, Mate-in-1, Mate-in-2, Back-rank – 1 shielded app – Full ELO tracking – Insights into what you solve and what you miss PRO UNLOCKS – All 52 advanced tactics. Mate-in-3, Discovered Attack, Zwischenzug, endgames. The full library, not just the starters. – See every blind spot. Insights unlocks every theme. Your full weakness map, no locked tiles. – Block every app you want, not just one. Plenty to start on Free. Pro is where you stop guessing what to study. 7-day free trial on the yearly plan. $4.99/month or $39.99/year. WHY IT'S DIFFERENT Most focus apps are guilt machines. Most chess apps want your scroll. Chess Shield does both jobs at once. Every minute in here is measurable progress, not just dopamine. If you've ever wished the time you waste scrolling could be real chess time, this is it. PRIVACY We don't collect anything. No accounts, no analytics, no backend. The apps you block are opaque tokens iOS hands us. We literally can't see them. Everything stays on your device. ——— Subscription details Chess Shield Pro is offered as a monthly ($4.99/month) or yearly ($39.99/year) auto-renewing subscription. The yearly plan includes a 7-day free trial for new subscribers. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation. The subscription auto-renews unless turned off at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel anytime in iPhone Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions.

Build 887918460v1.0.52026-07-07 22:31:53
A shield that always shows the right state, faster notifications in Focus modes, and a bunch of little fixes to make everything smoother.
Build 887811097v1.0.42026-07-05 11:47:14
What's new: Every Open mode. For the apps you really want to cut back on, you can now require a puzzle every single time you open them, not just once for a block of time. Maximum friction, maximum focus. A new analysis board. After you solve a puzzle, open it up, move the pieces yourself, and see the best lines. Like having a coach look over your shoulder. Redeem creator codes right inside the app. Plus a round of fixes and refinements to keep everything running smoothly.
Build 886597709v1.0.32026-06-09 03:57:42
What's new in v1.0.3 A rebuilt onboarding that shows you the math: how much time you're trading, and what that becomes in chess practice. • Personalized Pro screen tailored to your stated goals • Daily training target shared across Practice and Shield • Expanded Pro tactic library with deeper mate patterns and endgame studies • Improved Focus Mode and notification setup so the shield doesn't go silent in DND • Cleaner Insights with clearer Free / Pro separation • Pro welcome screen for new subscribers • Performance polish and stability improvements Onward to your next rating jump.
Build 886404106v1.0.22026-06-03 10:11:51
Polish and reliability across the unlock flow. • Tapping the shield notification reliably opens your puzzle, even after Chess Shield has been closed. • When a puzzle has multiple ways to deliver mate, the board now shows the move you actually played. • Smoother piece animations and a steadier puzzle header between rounds. • Improvements to subscription state, shield setup, and behavior when returning from iOS Settings.
Build 886253287v1.0.12026-05-29 22:46:15
Bug fixes and improvements • Shield notifications now reliably open to the puzzle that unlocks the blocked app you reached for. • Shield configuration moved into Settings → Shield. The Shield tab is now dedicated to the puzzle experience. • New "Two ways to play" step in onboarding explains the difference between Practice (free chess training) and Shield (puzzles that earn time on blocked apps). • The Free plan option in pricing is now easier to find. • Fixed a critical layout issue where the Hint, Skip, and Resume buttons could overlap the chess board on iPhone 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, SE, Plus, and Pro Max models. The board now renders edge-to-edge on every iPhone from iPhone 11 onward.
