## What is Firmlock?

Firmlock requires Pro (a subscription or one-time purchase), and the yearly plan starts with a 14-day free trial.

Firmlock closes the apps and websites you pick, at the hours you pick. A strict session has no End button in Firmlock, so at 1 a.m. it still runs until the time you set.

No End button at 1 a.m.
While a strict session runs, apps can't be deleted and the date and time can't be changed. The websites you picked stay closed in every browser, including pages you open from a link in a message. Tap a popular social or video service and its websites close together, or type any website address yourself.

What strict mode can't stop: anyone who knows your Apple Account password can reset a Screen Time passcode. If Screen Time access is turned off while a session runs, Firmlock notices and records the session as cut short.

Starts on its own, on time
Set the days and hours once: work hours, evenings, or overnight like 10 pm to 7 am. Sessions start and end on their own, even when Firmlock is closed. You can keep up to 15 schedules, each with its own apps.

A daily limit for the apps that eat your day
Give a group of apps, categories and websites a time budget, from 5 minutes to 12 hours a day. When it runs out, they stay closed until midnight. Loosening a strict limit takes effect 24 hours after you change it.

Start now
Pick 15 minutes to 24 hours, slide the bolt, and the apps close.

To end it, get up and scan your key
Print or save a QR code. Turn on "End with my key only" and a normal session ends early only when you scan that key, so you can keep it in another room. Apps, Firmlock included, can't be deleted while a keyed session runs.

Count every time you held off
Stats show the last 7 days: how long your apps stayed closed, sessions completed, limits reached and how many times you went back from a closed app. The screen time of the apps you picked comes from iOS and stays in Screen Time. The weekly card you can share shows only Firmlock's own numbers and no app names.

Turning it off takes a friend
If a friend holds your Screen Time passcode, turning off Firmlock's access in Settings asks for that passcode. Firmlock makes a code for you to set as the passcode and send to them.

A break without quitting
A normal session can end whenever you want. You also get three 15-minute breaks a day, each one after 20 seconds of breathing.

On your Lock Screen
A Live Activity shows the time left and when your apps open. There are widgets for the Home Screen and Lock Screen, and a Control Center button that opens Firmlock ready to start.

No account, no ads
No analytics either. Your choices and usage stay on your phone. Firmlock can't see which apps you picked; iOS shows it only their icons and names.

Prices (US)
Yearly: 14 days free, then $29.99 a year.
Monthly: $4.99 a month.
Lifetime: $79.99, paid once.
Two days before a free trial ends, Firmlock sends a reminder if notifications are on. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in Settings.

Firmlock needs Screen Time access and iOS 26.4 or later.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.4 — 2026-11-10

Firmlock now counts the websites in your sessions, schedules and daily limits together, since iOS can close 50 at once, and tells you when a list would go over.

When a schedule or limit can't be saved, the editor stays open and shows why, and Close on the Websites page always responds.

A schedule that started while Firmlock was closed is no longer marked as cut short when you open the app.

### 1.0.3 — 2026-11-09

The Pro screen now fits small phones like the iPhone SE without scrolling.

It also shows the schedule you just set up, and tells you it starts as soon as Pro is on.

The yearly plan now shows how much you save compared with paying monthly.

The reminder two days before your trial ends now says how many hours your apps have stayed closed so far.

Wording across the app now says "this device."

### 1.0.2 — 2026-11-07

Websites you pick now stay closed in every browser, including pages you open from a link in a message.

Tap a popular social or video service and its websites close together. You can also type any website address yourself.

Links that start with firmlock:// now open Firmlock.

After your first finished session, iOS may ask you to rate Firmlock.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-11-07

Firmlock is now in Spotlight and Siri. Say "Start a Firmlock session" to lock your apps with your last length and mode.

iOS ends a Live Activity after eight hours. During a longer session, open Firmlock and the countdown comes back to your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island.

When the Dynamic Island is narrow, as in landscape, it no longer cuts off the timer.

Lock Screen widget text stays at a readable size.

Reminder setup has a single Continue button, and iOS asks the question.

### 1.0 — 2026-11-05

No release notes.
