Focus Filters & Focus Mode App Store Listing in Simplified Chinese — zh-Hans Works with Focus Copy

Who this is for

Western indie iOS developers — US, UK, EU, Canada, Australia — whose app already ships Focus Filter support in the binary and markets it on the product page:

• Focus Filter allowlists — your app can be allowed or silenced during Work, Sleep, Personal, or custom Focus modes
• Works with Focus — product page badges, subtitle positioning, or description paragraphs about Focus-aware behavior
• Do Not Disturb filter integration — marketing screenshots showing DND filter toggles, schedule sheets, or Allow Notifications exceptions tied to Focus
• Focus Filter picker UI — gallery frames that show Settings → Focus customization, filter name lists, or per-mode app allowlists

You finished the en-US listing. The zh-Hans row exists or is in progress, but China buyers still see English searchable fields and English Focus-themed screenshot captions. You need paste-ready Connect storefront text — not a contractor to rewrite SetFocusFilterIntent or configure App Intents providers.

If the entire China product page is still English on every field, start with China App Store still shows English or the AppLocale product page for a full-row pass first.

Focus Filters are not App Intents, Control Center controls, or widget guides

Focus-aware apps blur several shop guides indie teams conflate. AppLocale covers listing metadata only — Focus Filter marketing on the product page:

• Focus Filters & Focus mode copy (this page) — Works with Focus badges, Allow during Focus overlays, Do Not Disturb filter captions, and description paragraphs about per-mode app behavior.
• App Intents / Siri / Shortcuts (different) — voice and Shortcuts automation marketing is separate from Focus Filter allowlist copy. See App Intents listing guide — not Focus Filter storefront text.
• Control Center controls (different) — iOS 18+ toggles in Control Center and Lock Screen control slots. See Control Center listing guide — not Focus mode filter sheets.
• Lock Screen widgets & StandBy (different) — accessory widget slots and nightstand carousel previews. See Lock Screen widgets guide and StandBy guide — not Focus Filter picker UI.
• Journaling Suggestions (different) — Apple Journal suggestion surfaces. See Journaling Suggestions listing guide — not Focus mode marketing.

Your screenshots may show Focus icons alongside widget pickers or Shortcuts tiles. Listing copy should name the correct surface per frame — a Focus Filter allowlist sheet is not a Shortcuts automation tile and not a Lock Screen widget slot.

Listing fields vs Focus Filter engineering vs screenshot design

Focus-enabled apps blur three workstreams indie teams merge:

• App Store Connect listing metadata — name, subtitle, keywords, description, promotional text, screenshot overlay captions on the zh-Hans row. AppLocale scope.
• Focus Filter API / in-app filter UI — SetFocusFilterIntent, App Intents providers, filter display names inside Settings and your app. Engineering scope — not AppLocale.
• Screenshot composition — device frames, Focus picker mockups, re-exporting PNGs with burned-in Works with Focus headlines. Design scope — AppLocale delivers caption lines you paste or hand to a designer.

This page covers the first bucket for Focus-centric product pages. It is not our generic screenshot captions guide (any app gallery) and not our App Intents or Control Center platform pages.

Why Focus Filter English hurts on the China storefront

Focus-aware apps often lead marketing screenshots with Focus customization sheets, Do Not Disturb filter toggles, or Works with Focus badges — surfaces where system chrome and your sample filter names appear together:

• English frame headlines — “Focus”, “Focus Filter”, “Works with Focus”, “Allow during Focus” left as capture defaults while your zh-Hans description claims full Chinese support
• Untranslated filter names in screenshots — “Work Focus”, “Sleep Focus”, “Allow Notifications” still in Latin script on gallery frames buyers skim before reading the description
• Do Not Disturb copy still English — DND schedule overlays, filter exception lists, and silence badges that should read native on the zh-Hans product page
• Focus mode picker captures — Settings-style sheets with English mode names when productivity or wellness buyers browse in zh-Hans locale
• Searchable fields still English — subtitle and keywords never packed for 专注模式, 勿扰模式, or 专注筛选 terms Chinese users actually type

Better zh-Hans listing copy and Focus Filter screenshot captions reduce product-page bounce for Focus-aware buyers — they do not replace SetFocusFilterIntent implementation inside the binary or guarantee Search rank.

Focus-specific listing copy — what translates differently

Focus-forward listings use vocabulary general utility guides rarely cover. zh-Hans copy should reflect how Chinese App Store readers evaluate Focus workflows — not a literal paste of US marketing:

• 专注模式 (Focus mode) vs 专注筛选 (Focus Filter) — Apple’s Chinese UI uses 专注模式 for mode names and 专注筛选 for filter configuration. A Works with Focus badge frame needs 专注模式-friendly phrasing; a filter-picker frame may use 专注筛选 when accurate.
• 勿扰模式 (Do Not Disturb) — when your marketing shows DND schedules or silence exceptions, zh-Hans copy should use 勿扰模式 vocabulary buyers recognize — not a generic “quiet mode” translation.
• Mode-accurate claims — if you ship a Work Focus filter only, zh-Hans copy should say 在工作专注模式下可用 — not promise Sleep or Driving Focus unless your binary supports those modes.
• Subtitle and keyword packing — the 30-character subtitle and 100-character keyword field need Focus-relevant search terms Chinese buyers type — see Simplified Chinese keywords guide for field mechanics.
• Screenshot captions on Focus frames — gallery frames that show filter pickers or allowlist sheets need one-line zh-Hans captions — “在专注模式下仅显示重要通知” not “Allow during Focus” burned into the product page story.

Common mistakes on Focus Filter zh-Hans listings

• Assuming Focus Filter capability localizes automatically — SetFocusFilterIntent wired in Xcode; zh-Hans row never added or left blank
• Only translating the description — subtitle, keywords, and Focus screenshot caption lines still English
• Claiming every Focus mode when you ship one filter — zh-Hans copy promises Sleep and Personal Focus when your binary only registers a Work filter
• Conflating Focus Filters with App Intents — listing says “Siri and Shortcuts” when the product story is Focus allowlist behavior, not voice automation
• English Works with Focus on zh-Hans screenshots — Connect caption fields are Chinese but burned-in badges on PNG exports are still Latin
• Calling Focus Filters “widgets” or “controls” — buyers searching for 小组件 or 控制中心 expect different surfaces; mislabeling Focus picker UI confuses the feature story
• What's New still English after Focus Filter launch — see What's New in Simplified Chinese when Focus support shipped in a recent version
• Literal 翻译腔 on Focus jargon — awkward translations of “Focus Filter” or “Allow during Focus” that native readers do not use in App Store copy

What good zh-Hans Focus Filter listing copy looks like

Listing fields should name the Focus surfaces you actually ship — aligned with your screenshot order:

• Subtitle — one concrete promise: “支持专注模式筛选” or “专注时仅显示重要内容” — not vague “提升效率”
• Keywords — mix category terms (待办, 冥想, 记账) with Focus intent (专注模式, 勿扰) within Connect’s ~100-character zh-Hans budget; see Simplified Chinese keywords guide
• Description — short paragraphs for Focus Filter allowlists, Do Not Disturb exceptions, and per-mode behavior if you market them — mirror screenshot sequence
• Screenshot captions on Focus frames — name the on-screen action: “在设置中为工作专注模式添加筛选条件” not “强大功能”
• Sample filter names in caption lines — when your gallery shows example mode or filter labels, caption sheet lists zh-Hans equivalents matched to modes you actually support
• Voice consistency — same 你/您 choice as your description across overlay lines and promotional text

Connect checklist for Focus Filter apps targeting China

1. Open App Store → Chinese (Simplified) — confirm the zh-Hans row exists; empty rows fall back to English on the China storefront
2. Audit searchable fields — name, subtitle, keywords, description saved in zh-Hans, not placeholder English
3. List which Focus modes your filter supports — Work, Sleep, Personal, Driving, or custom — listing copy must match your stated filter matrix
4. Walk the screenshot gallery in order — flag frames showing Works with Focus badges, Focus picker sheets, DND filter toggles, or allowlist UI
5. Export overlay lines — spreadsheet of English caption text per frame beats screenshots of Connect alone
6. Note burned-in vs Connect captions — if Focus badges are embedded in PNGs, caption deliverables go to your designer for re-export
7. Match What's New if Focus Filters are new — release notes should mention Focus support in zh-Hans when that version added filters
8. Verify China in Pricing and Availability — storefront enabled before expecting zh-Hans to appear

What AppLocale delivers

For one app on the zh-Hans row, paste-ready Simplified Chinese listing copy focused on Focus Filter-centric product pages:

• Name, subtitle, keywords, description — rewritten for China Search intent and Focus workflows you ship, scoped to Focus modes you actually support
• Promotional text — when you include current English promo copy in your brief
• Focus Filter screenshot caption lines — overlay text for frames showing Works with Focus badges, Focus mode picker sheets, Do Not Disturb filter toggles, allowlist UI, and sample filter names visible in your gallery
• English alignment — en-US fields tightened when both storefronts need the same promise in native phrasing
• 24-hour turnaround — delivered to the email on your Stripe receipt after checkout and intake

Human rewrite from your current English listing — not a machine translation dump. Default $79 scope is listing metadata plus Focus-themed gallery captions; ask if you need Custom Product Pages or device-specific screenshot sets bundled separately.

What AppLocale does not do

• Does not write SetFocusFilterIntent, Focus Filter API, or App Intents provider code
• Does not configure Focus mode entitlements, DND schedules, or filter donation in Xcode
• Does not design, compose, or re-export Focus-themed screenshot PNG/JPEG assets
• Does not localize in-app filter display names, Settings strings, or the app binary
• Does not run Apple Search Ads, paid UA, or review-reply retainers
• Does not guarantee App Store rankings, Focus discovery, or download growth
• Is not QuantRadar, not investment advice, and not legal review
• Does not invent reviews, ratings, or traffic numbers

FAQ

Does AppLocale implement SetFocusFilterIntent or Focus Filter API code?

No. We rewrite App Store Connect listing metadata and screenshot caption text only. Focus Filter engineering and in-app filter UI strings are separate work.

What Focus Filter-specific listing copy does AppLocale deliver?

Paste-ready zh-Hans name, subtitle, keywords, description, and caption lines on screenshots that show Works with Focus badges, Focus mode picker sheets, Do Not Disturb filter toggles, or allowlist UI in your frames.

Should zh-Hans copy claim every Focus mode if I only ship one filter?

No. Match the Focus modes your binary actually supports. If you ship a Work Focus filter only, do not promise Sleep or Personal Focus in subtitle or screenshot captions. AppLocale rewrites from your filter matrix and English claims.

How is this different from App Intents or Control Center listing guides?

Focus Filters configure app behavior during Focus modes and Do Not Disturb sessions — a different story from Siri Shortcuts automation and from Control Center toggles. This page is for apps whose product page leads with Focus Filter workflows.

Does localizing Focus Filter screenshots fix in-app filter labels?

No. Listing captions do not change filter display names at runtime. In-app string localization requires Xcode and Focus Filter API work outside AppLocale scope.

What character limits apply to zh-Hans Focus Filter listing fields?

App name and subtitle are each up to 30 characters on the zh-Hans row. The keyword field allows up to 100 characters. Description and screenshot caption lines have longer limits — see Chinese character limits guide for Connect caps.

What do I send after payment?

Your live App Store listing URL, current English listing text, English screenshot overlay lines (especially Focus frames), which Focus modes your filter supports, and target locale (zh-Hans). Reply from the email on your Stripe receipt — we deliver within 24 hours.

Will zh-Hans Focus keywords rank my app for 专注模式?

We do not guarantee keyword position or download growth. We pack keywords within Connect limits based on your app’s actual Focus use case — not empty rank promises.

How much does AppLocale cost?

$79 one-time via Stripe checkout. No subscription. Seller is Fortune Insight, LLC.

What is AppLocale not?

Not SetFocusFilterIntent or Focus Filter API engineering, not App Intents implementation, not screenshot design, not binary localization, not ads, not ranking guarantees, not review-reply retainers, not QuantRadar, and not investment advice.
