Requirements and availability
iOS 17 or later on a compatible device. Screen Time access is optional. An internet connection loads public trail data, which is cached for return visits. This is a simulated focus journey, not a navigation or trail-safety app.
Free to download, explore trails, and complete a first focus hike. Further hikes require Trailhead Plus: US$4.99/month or US$34.99/year. Eligible subscribers can receive a 14-day introductory trial. Local prices and eligibility are shown by Apple.

No. The focus timer can run without it. Screen Time access enables optional shielding of the distracting apps you choose.
What can I use for free?
You can explore the parks and trails, preview soundscapes, configure Screen Time, and complete your first focus hike. Starting further hikes requires Trailhead Plus.
