A quick guide to Milo The Pup and what it can do.
Welcome to Milo The Pup
Milo The Pup helps you put distracting apps aside and make time for what matters.
Start here
- Complete the short setup when you first open the app, including Milo The Pup Plus.
- Start a focus session and choose the apps you want to block.
- Check Home to see today's focus time and your daily goal.
You can also create scheduled rules, view your history and insights, add the home-screen widget, and turn on reminders.
iPhone and Android
- iPhone: Focus sessions and scheduled rules can block selected apps after you allow Screen Time access. Open Milo The Pup so scheduled rules can refresh.
- Android: Focus sessions can block selected apps after you allow Usage Access. Scheduled rules can be created, but automatic scheduled blocking is not available yet.
App blocking must be tested on a real phone.
