amazing

love this, there really is no way to unlock it unlike those other apps so i really love this i’m way more focused.

이거 맞나여?

일단 처음부터 이야기 해보자면 제가 누나랑 공동계정이여서 스크린 타임이 누나랑 합쳐져서 나오거든여? 솔직히 그건 상관 없는데 지금 제가 폰프리 100일 기적을 하고 있어서 제가 폰을 얼마나 하는지 알아야 하는데 누나란 저랑 스크린 타임이 합쳐져서 나오니까 불퍈해서 이 앱을 깔아서 내가 몇 분 했는지 볼려고 깐건데 총 타임이 계속 아 뭔가 제 어휘력으로 설명하기 어려워서 예을 들어보자면
제가 유튜브 1시간을 봤어요. 그럼 거기 총 타임에는 1시간 20분이 나와요. 이런식으로 1.2~1.5배정도 뻥튀기 나와서 나오는데 고쳐주면 좋을꺼 같아요.

안녕하세요, 잠글시간입니다! 폰 프리 100일 도전 중이시라니 정말 멋져요 😊 자세히 알려 주셔서 감사해요. 말씀하신 차이는 누나분과 같은 애플 계정을 쓰셔서 생기는 것으로 보여요. 잠글시간의 사용 시간은 아이폰 스크린타임 기록을 그대로 가져오는데, 같은 계정의 다른 기기 사용 시간까지 함께 합쳐질 수 있어 실제로 쓰신 시간보다 길게 나올 수 있어요. 혹시 같은 애플 계정이 아니라면 말씀부탁드리며, 내 기기 시간만 따로 볼 수 있게 할 수 있을지 저희도 살펴볼게요. 100일 도전 끝까지 응원하겠습니다!

Excellent app! BUT

I really like the Detox Lock feature. However, I found a serious bug while using it.

When the app is in Detox Lock mode, I can go to Settings → Screen Time → Apps with Screen Time Access, where I found the Detox Lock app. If I tap on it and enable/access the permission, the entire Detox Lock gets removed instantly.

This seems to completely bypass the purpose of the lock and could make it very easy to disable Detox Lock unintentionally.

Please look into this issue and fix it so that Detox Lock cannot be removed or bypassed through the Screen Time settings while Detox Lock mode is active. Otherwise, the app is excellent and has a lot of potential.

Hello! It must have been frustrating that the lock could be bypassed by simply turning off the permission yourself. You can prevent this by setting a passcode on Screen Time itself. Please go to [Settings → Screen Time → Lock Screen Time Settings] and set a passcode (iOS 26.4 or later). However, since setting it yourself would mean you know the passcode and defeat the purpose, we recommend asking a family member or friend to set it for you. As a secondary measure, you can also add the Settings app itself to your lock list. For how to do this, please check the "I want to lock the Settings app too" item in the FAQ below and follow the video exactly as shown. https://addictionlabs.notion.site/Frequently-Asked-Questions-FAQ-1c402a81552780d9ac28e6d1aaa58f40 ※ AI auto-reply sent for a quick response.

お願い

いつもありがたく利用させていただいてます。ですが、2点、改善をご検討いただきたい点があります。
制限の際、設定をひらけてしまうので、ショートカットを使った方法を使っているのですが「設定を押して、ショートカットに飛び、ショートカットをロックしているので開けないというふうになるんですが、『<設定』を押すと開けてしまう」という問題解決してほしいです。
もう一つありまして、「斜め上にスライドしてコントロールの画面を出してWiFiの画面を出し下の『WiFi設定』を押すとショートカットの技を使っていても開けてしまいます」
気づいてしまったので、たまにやってしまいます。
意思でどうにかできないこともないのですが、どうにかそれらも不可能にしていただきたいです。
お願いします。

こんにちは。ご自身で権限をオフにして解除できてしまう点、もどかしく感じられたことと思います。これはスクリーンタイム自体にパスコードをかければ防げます。[設定 → スクリーンタイム →「スクリーンタイム設定をロック」]でパスコードを設定してください(iOS 26.4以上)。ただし、ご本人が設定するとパスコードが分かってしまい無効になるので、ご家族やご友人に代わりに設定してもらうことをおすすめします。 補助として、設定アプリ自体をロック対象に追加していただくのもよいでしょう。方法は下記のよくある質問の「設定アプリもロックしたい」の項目にある動画を見て、そのとおりに進めてください。 https://addictionlabs.notion.site/1c402a8155278048a70efcac0a10cf7f ※ 迅速なご案内のためAI自動返信をお送りしています。追加のお問い合わせは csdetoxlock2+ai@gmail.com まで。
