Emergency — What should I do if I am blocked?
If you can’t access your apps and need to regain control, don’t worry, there’s always a way out. Here’s how to unblock yourself, depending on your situation.
If Strict Mode is not active
Just adjust or disable your schedule:
- Open AppBlock.
- Go to Schedules.
- Edit, pause, or turn off the schedule that’s blocking you.
Quick Block can be stopped the same way — open AppBlock and tap Stop Quick Block.
If Strict Mode is active
You’ll need to fulfill the unlock condition you chose when activating Strict Mode:
- PIN — enter your PIN.
- Charger — plug your phone into a charger.
- Timer — wait for the timer to expire.
- Cooldown — start the unlock and wait out the cooldown.
- Follow schedules — wait until your schedules are no longer active.
- Approval Contact — ask your trusted person to approve your unlock request.
If you can’t fulfill your unlock condition
Use our Emergency Unblocking flow:
- Open AppBlock and go to Profile > Help > Contact support.
- Select Emergency unblocking as the reason for contacting us.
If you are locked by Follow Schedules or Timer unlock condition, you’ll be guided through a short emergency flow. Once completed, Strict Mode will be disabled once.
If your version doesn’t include the emergency flow
No problem — we can help you manually. Contact support and we’ll send you a one-time unlock code to disable Strict Mode and remove your PIN (if one was set).
Good to know
Strict Mode is intentionally hard to bypass, that’s what makes it work. The emergency flow is here for real emergencies, not for moments of weakness.
