FAQ
How does GoDark help me focus?
GoDark locks down selected apps using your device's native Screen Time feature, turning your phone into a 'dumb phone' for a set duration. This enforced limitation helps you avoid distractions and concentrate on your tasks or offline activities.
Can I use GoDark with friends?
Yes, GoDark is designed for social accountability. You can create shared boards with friends by sharing a code, compete on leaderboards for most 'dark time', and see each other's session progress and completions.
What is 'Monk Mode' in GoDark?
Monk Mode is a feature within GoDark that prevents you from quitting a session early. Once initiated, you are locked in until the chosen duration is complete, offering a more intense focus experience. It also doubles the session hours.
How does GoDark handle quitting sessions early?
If you quit a session early outside of Monk Mode, GoDark implements a 'debt' system. You will owe those minutes back, and failure to pay them back results in wearing an 'amber chip' on your profile, visible to your friends.
Is GoDark private?
GoDark is designed with privacy in mind. It does not require accounts or emails, and your streak data is stored privately in your iCloud. Boards only share your handle, avatar, and minutes with friends.
