About

HeiLock

Read full description

HeiLock helps you set gentler boundaries around app time. When it is time to stop, pause for a moment, cut down on short, mindless bursts of app use, and use apps with more intention. Key features: β€’ Session Limits Set how long an app can be used each time. When the limit is reached, usage is restricted automatically. β€’ Cumulative Limits Set a cumulative usage limit for one or more apps. When the set time is reached, usage is restricted automatically. When you select multiple apps, use β€œCombined Usage Time” to choose how time is counted: when enabled, usage time across the selected apps is combined, and the apps share a single cumulative limit; when disabled, usage is accumulated separately for each app. β€’ Allowed Time Windows Choose when an app is available. Outside those windows, usage is restricted. β€’ Custom Display Content Add your favorite photos or videos. When an app is locked, HeiLock can show the content you selected, making each pause feel a little warmer. β€’ Manage Multiple Apps Manage multiple apps at once and set different usage schedules for different apps. β€’ Passcode Protection Protect your settings with a passcode to prevent unwanted changes. β€’ Local Storage No sign-in, no ads, and all data stays on your device.
