FAQ
What is Grit-Lock?
Grit-Lock is an app designed to help you stay focused by locking selected applications until you meet a specific condition, such as completing a workout or reaching a certain time. You earn access to your apps by achieving these goals.
How does Grit-Lock work?
You choose which apps to lock and create a 'shield' with a specific condition for unlocking. These shields can be time-based, like a morning window, or goal-based, like verifying a workout completion. Your data remains on your device.
What types of shields can I create in Grit-Lock?
Grit-Lock offers Morning shields that lock apps at wake time and clear after a set window, Workout shields that unlock after workout verification, and Custom shields for any schedule. Pro members can also use 'Lock Now' for immediate focus needs.
Can I get out of a lock if I really need to?
Yes, Grit-Lock includes an emergency bypass feature. This bypass has escalating friction to discourage frequent use, ensuring it's reserved for genuine emergencies.
What features are available in the free version of Grit-Lock?
The free version allows you to create one active shield, complete the full unlock loop, use emergency bypass, and build your streak. No account or sign-up is required, and it is free forever.
What are the benefits of GritLock Pro?
GritLock Pro offers unlimited shields, the ability to edit your blocked-app list anytime, start 'Lock Now' sessions, up to four 15-minute snoozes daily, Hardcore mode, advanced analytics, and removes sponsor messages.
How much does GritLock Pro cost?
GritLock Pro has two subscription options: Pro Monthly at $3.99 per month and Pro Annual at $29.99 per year. These plans unlock advanced features for enhanced productivity.
Does Grit-Lock have ads?
The free version of Grit-Lock may contain sponsor messages. These messages can be removed by upgrading to GritLock Pro, which offers an ad-free experience.
