How to earn, use, and disable "Cheat Days". How can I pause app blocking for a few days while on vacation?

Updated yesterday

What are "Cheat Days"?

"Cheat Days" allow you to temporarily disable or snooze all app blocking for a day without losing your streak and without deleting or editing your existing blocking. Many people use this as a "Vacation Mode," and we're exploring the possibility of adding a dedicated "Vacation Mode" feature as well.

How do I earn "Cheat Days"?

To earn "Cheat Days", maintain a streak by consistently staying under your app limits. As you build this streak, you'll unlock "Cheat Days", allowing you to bypass app blocking without losing your progress.

How do I use a "Cheat Day"?

  • Tap on your "Streak" from the home tab (top, middle bar)

  • Tap on "Cheat Days"

  • Then "Take a cheat day today"

  • This will disable your limits and downtimes for the day

If you change your mind, you can end your cheat day at anytime

How do I disable Cheat Days?

To disable "Cheat Days", go to Profile > Settings > Cheat Days


​Note: There will be a 24-hour delay if you re-enable as an impulse protection.
