For editors and journalists writing about UUTA.

UUTA 2.0 is a new design and a new code base for iOS 27, on iPhone and iPad. It holds one focus that the person names themselves (“Private” until they rename it), plus Shield.

Notice. One button on Today: “I noticed it.” The same tap is on the Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, in a Control Center control, on the Action button, and in Shortcuts and Siri. Pause. Three minutes, always the same length, and skippable at once. “It passed” and “I went with it” are there from the first second and look the same. While the phone is locked, the pause runs as a Live Activity. Patterns. The sentence of the week, a 24-hour clock of when moments come, what was around them, and twelve weeks at a glance. No targets, no numbers that rank the person.

Shield, free. With Screen Time, UUTA puts one question in front of the apps a person picks: “Still want to open this?”, with “Not now” and “Open for 15 min”. Stricter hours, a notice after 15 minutes and Apple’s web content filter are each one switch.

Private by design. No account, no server, no analytics, no third-party code. Moments stay on the device and, only if the person turns it on, in their own iCloud, with the written line as an encrypted field. Face ID locks the app. Outside the app nothing shows the name a person gives their focus. App Privacy: Data Not Collected.

Free for 21 days, then one payment, once. For adults, 18 and over. UUTA is not medical care and gives no advice.
