Common questions

How do I turn on the Safari blocker?

Open Settings > Apps > Safari > Extensions > Monk Mode Blocker and turn on Allow Extension. Back in Monk Mode, Tools > Safari blocker shows it as on, and you can add your own sites there.

Sites still open in Chrome or another app.

The blocker covers Safari. For every browser, turn on Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > App Store, Media, Web & Games > Web Content > Limit Adult Websites. Tools > Phone setup walks you through it.

How do I lock the app?

Turn on App lock in Profile > Privacy & protection. Monk Mode then asks for Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode every time it opens, and hides its screens in the app switcher.

Will anyone see what the app is for?

The home-screen name is Monk Mode, and widgets, reminders and the share card only talk about clean days and urges. They never name the habit.

How do I add the widget?

Touch and hold the Home Screen, tap Edit > Add Widget, search for Monk Mode and pick a size. For the Lock Screen, touch and hold it, tap Customize > Lock Screen and add Monk Mode.

I relapsed. Do I lose everything?

No. Tap I relapsed on Home: your streak restarts, but your best streak, the hours you have reclaimed, your badges and your history are kept.

How do I move to a new iPhone?

Turn on iCloud backup in Monk Mode's Profile. On the new iPhone, sign in to the same iCloud account, install Monk Mode and choose Restore from iCloud.

Reminders are not arriving.

Allow notifications in iOS Settings > Notifications > Monk Mode, then turn on Daily reminders in Monk Mode's Profile.
