That's not a feature. I'm looking for a digital piece of paper that can't access reddit/HN/webpages-on-demand, not something that runs highly distracting apps. If I wanted that I could just buy an ipad. I know it's seems really weird to intentionally pay more and get less - fewer features, but the fact that I can go lock myself in my office with my phone and laptop elsewhere and get some proper reading and writing done on my remarkable is, well, I'd say remarkable, but now I sound like an ad. But I'm not getting paid by them and that's just what they called it.

iPadOS Accessibility Mode can restrict usage to a few user-selected apps.
You can turn it off without getting up out your chair though, right?
There's a separate password for exiting Assistive Access.

If you don't trust yourself, let someone else setup that password.

I guess you could also use a long password and write it down in a different room
