Apple’s App Picker tool currently allows selection of up to 50 apps. We are currently working on expanding this functionality so you’ll be able to block more apps in the near future.

You start with 3 Emergency Unlocks, allowing you to exit lockd mode without the Pod. You can purchase more if needed, but we encourage using them only when absolutely necessary.

• Strict Mode: Turning on Strict Mode prevents you from uninstalling the Lockd app, so you can’t bypass your locked sessions.
• Screen Time Access Block: Use a shortcut to block access to Settings. Use this guide.

Use this guide to block any native app.

Unfortunately, some limitations are due to the way Apple’s App Picker is designed. We’re actively working on improvements with Apple. In the meantime, try:

- Open one app category at a time
- Paste app names into the search bar
- Close categories after selecting apps
- Avoid clicking “Other”
- Force quit Lockd and restart your phone

With Android, Lockd lets you block any app (except Phone and your Launcher) and any website you choose.

You can also create custom modes—Work, Family, Sleep, Gym, and more—to block exactly what you need, when you need it.

You start with 3 Emergency Unlocks, allowing you to exit locked mode without the Pod. You can purchase more if needed, but we encourage using them only when absolutely necessary.

Turning on Strict Mode prevents you from uninstalling the Lockd app, so you can’t bypass your locked sessions.

Try the following:

• Check your WiFi or cellular connection
• Force quit and relaunch the app
• Restart your device
• Update your app and iOS/Android software

If you tap your Lockd Pod without seeing “Ready to Scan” on the Lockd app screen, your phone will open Android’s default NFC reader instead.
To scan your Lockd Pod properly, first tap the Lockd Button on the app’s main screen.
When you see “Ready to Scan,” tap your Lockd Pod.

Here’s how to fix it.

• Check that Lockd has Screen Time access: Settings > Screen Time > Toggle LOCKD access on
• Ensure your iOS is version 16 or newer
• Turn off any App Limits from Apple Screen Time: Settings > Screen Time > App Limits
• Disable other screen time management apps
• Remove apps from Always Allowed: Settings > Screen Time > Always Allowed
• Restart your device or reinstall the LOCKD app
• Wait up to 4 hours for changes to take effect

Due to iOS limitations, the Phone app can’t be blocked. We're continuing to explore options.

• Check if the app is selected in the App Picker
• Double-check App Limits and Always Allowed lists
• Quit the app and open it again
• Restart your iPhone
