Habit Control is a Bluetooth app designed to help users create structured access rules for food, snacks, alcohol, phones, medicine, sweets, electronic devices, and other everyday temptations. Instead of relying only on willpower, the app works with a smart lock system to create clear physical boundaries and consistent routines. The app allows users to set recurring no-access schedules in advance. You can define exactly when access is restricted - for example during nighttime hours, study sessions, work hours, fasting periods, weekends, or after bedtime. Once programmed, schedules run automatically every day without needing to reset individual timers manually. Habit Control supports flexible use cases for both individuals and families. Parents can create screen-time schedules, snack-access rules, or structured parental control routines for children, while couples, roommates, and family members can follow shared access schedules together(IMPORTANT: The lock does not open automatically when the timer or schedule window ends - unlocking is done via smartphone). The app also supports different permission levels. Owner and Admin users can manage schedules, timers, and settings, while Guest users can only lock or unlock. Guests cannot create schedules or timers, change settings, or unlock early. For users seeking stricter self-discipline, the app includes a Self-Control Mode. When enabled, schedules and timers cannot be overridden early even by owner and admins. This mode is designed to help support routines related to mindful eating, reducing distractions, limiting late-night snacking, limiting phone use, managing gaming time, or creating healthier daily habits. The app supports both recurring schedules and individual countdown timers. Timers can be set from minutes up to 366 days depending on the user's needs. Users can also manually lock or unlock when schedules allow access. Habit Control works with iPhone and Android smartphones via Bluetooth connection. Unlocking is always performed manually through the smartphone app after the timer or restricted schedule ends. A built-in Virtual Test Lock allows users to explore the app and experiment with schedules before connecting a physical lock. This helps users understand how different access rules work and test routines before applying them to real cabinets, drawers, refrigerators, pantries or other storage areas. The app also provides battery monitoring features for connected locks, including real-time battery percentage display and optional low-battery auto-unlock settings to help prevent accidental lockouts. Habit Control is designed as a practical routine-management tool that adds structure and intentionality to daily habits.
