Frequently asked questions
Quick help with HabitLock.
Why can’t I choose apps to lock?
Open HabitLock Settings and approve Screen Time access first. Then choose the apps you want to lock and save the selection.
How do I earn unlock time?
Complete a task from the Tasks page. Simple tasks earn 5 minutes, Focused tasks earn 10 minutes, and Major tasks earn 15 minutes.
When does earned time reset?
Your available time, daily ledger, and momentum reset at the beginning of a new calendar day.
Why didn’t an app relock immediately?
HabitLock uses Apple Screen Time frameworks to restore shielding when unlock time expires. If an app remains available, open HabitLock and confirm that Screen Time access and your saved app selection are still active.
How do I manage or restore my subscription?
Open HabitLock’s subscription screen and choose Restore Subscription. You can manage or cancel your subscription through your Apple Account’s Subscriptions settings.
