The app picker is developed by Apple, not Jomo. The issues you’re experiencing are shared by all screen time apps (regardless of their price or claims).

The following are the best workarounds we have while waiting for Apple to fix these bugs. Each one has been tested and confirmed by our community—thanks to them!

Reconnect Jomo to Screen Time

1. Open this link from your iPhone or iPad.  
2. When prompted by Jomo, grant the permission.

Copy-Paste the Name from Notes

1. Open the Notes app.  
2. Type the name of the app, website, or category you’re looking for.  
3. Copy the text.  
4. Go back to Jomo.  
5. Paste it into the search bar on the selection screen.  
6. Select the app, site, or category you want.

Use Voice Dictation

This trick only works on devices running iOS 16.4 or later.

1. Tap the microphone icon in the search bar.  
2. Say the name of the app, category, or website.  
3. Select the desired result.

🛠️ Can’t see the microphone icon? You can enable voice dictation by going to: iPhone > Settings > General > Keyboard > Enable Dictation.
