Mochi is made by one person. If something's broken or confusing, email me and you'll get a real reply.

Common things

Mochi isn't appearing when I open an app

Check Settings inside Mochi: it needs Screen Time access allowed, at least one app selected, and protection switched on. If you tapped “Turn off for now”, picking apps doesn't switch it back on by itself.

I let an app through. When does it lock again?

The moment you next open Mochi. If you never do, it locks itself after about 15 minutes of using that app. Apple gives no way to make that quicker — there's no signal for “the user closed the app”.

I tapped “take 30 seconds” and nothing happened

The app closes and Mochi sends a notification; tapping that opens the breathing screen. If notifications are off, that route is gone — you can still start a reset from the Reset tab inside Mochi.

Can I pick a whole category instead of single apps?

Yes. Categories and websites work the same way, and letting one app through leaves the rest of the category locked.

How do I stop it sending anything?

Settings → Privacy → turn off Share anonymous usage. Anything already waiting to send is discarded rather than sent. See the privacy policy.

How do I delete my data?

Delete the app — everything Mochi stores lives on your phone and goes with it. For anything already sent, email me and I'll remove it.

Does Mochi know which apps I picked?

No. iOS hands it anonymous tokens and never the names, so it genuinely cannot know — not a promise, a limitation of the system it's built on.

Reporting a bug

What helps most: what you did, what happened, what you expected, plus your iPhone model and iOS version. A screenshot is worth several paragraphs.
