## What is MuyuLock?

ever notice your phone gets more attention than your heart?

MuyuLock helps you put practice before your phone. it's simple: every day, you chant first — then your apps unlock.

HOW IT WORKS
1. choose the apps that distract you (social, video, games...)
2. when you reach for them, finish today's practice first
3. chant, and your apps unlock until tomorrow

YOUR DAILY PRACTICE
- The Heart Sutra, Metta (loving-kindness), The Four Great Vows
- counting mode with a wooden fish: Namo Amitabha, Om Mani Padme Hum
- picked for your tradition: Pure Land / Zen / Tibetan / Theravada
- every session opens and closes properly, with dedication of merit

SEE YOURSELF GROW
- mala streak: one bead a day. at 108 days, a full mala
- mood check-ins: watch your heart settle over time
- daily dharma words from the Dhammapada and sutras

IT REALLY LOCKS
built on Apple's Screen Time technology. locked apps show "time to chant" until you finish. emergency unlock gives you 15 minutes when life happens.

MuyuLock is free to try. we depend on supporters like you to keep building a tool that brings this generation closer to the dharma.

full support for English, Japanese, Chinese (Simplified & Traditional), Thai and Vietnamese — each with its own authentic chant library.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.6 — 2026-09-03

Choose what you chant — and when we nudge you.

• New Sutras tab: every chant in your language. Pick any one; it counts as today's practice. Free, no subscription.
• Set your own reminder times — as many as you like through the day, not just one.
• We now remind you 2 days before a free trial ends, as promised.

### 1.0.4 — 2026-09-03

Japanese is here.

The whole app now speaks Japanese, with a chant library suited to Japanese practice: the Heart Sutra, the Great Compassion Dharani, Komyo Shingon, Nembutsu, Kannon, Jizo, the Four Great Vows and more.

MuyuLock now supports English, Japanese, Chinese (Simplified & Traditional), Thai and Vietnamese — each with its own authentic chants.

### 1.0.3 — 2026-09-02

Chanting and the wooden-fish counter are free — always.

NEW
• Kṣitigarbha (Earth Store) practice added to the sutra library
• Change sutra: pick today's chant yourself instead of taking the daily suggestion
• Lock schedule: set several locking periods a day — morning, lunch, evening — each with its own hours and weekdays, including overnight windows
• New hand-illustrated artwork throughout, and brush-ink icons in place of emoji

MuyuLock Pro unlocks
• Locking your chosen distracting apps until you finish today's chant
• Mala streaks and practice insights
• A personalized daily chant, and choosing your own

FIXED
The subscription screen could show a placeholder price when a plan failed to load, and selecting the yearly plan could start the monthly one instead. Both are corrected.

### 1.0.2 — 2026-08-30

• Localization fixes: a couple of screens still showed Chinese text in other languages.
• Store listing now available in Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Thai and Vietnamese.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-08-25

• In-app language picker: choose 简体中文, 繁體中文, English, ไทย or Tiếng Việt on first launch — everything, including the sutra library, follows your choice instantly.
• New simple pricing: one monthly plan with a free first week.
• Fixed an issue where app locking could stop working after relaunching the app.
• Localization fixes across onboarding.
