Even with the best intentions, it’s not always easy to stick to your goals. That’s often true for things like learning a new language, getting back into working out, or tracking your calories…

Here’s how you can use Jomo to build a daily Duolingo habit, keep making progress, and hold on to your streak for longer.

How can I make myself use Duolingo?

If motivation alone—and Duolingo’s 300 notifications—aren’t enough, you can connect Jomo with Duolingo.

Here’s how it works

Use Duolingo for (say) 15 minutes to unlock one of your favorite apps on your phone.

Example: Until I’ve spent 15 minutes on Duolingo, Instagram stays blocked.

1. Open Jomo.
2. Go to Rules.
3. Tap +.
4. Choose Action.
5. Select Good Apps.
6. In After > Uses reaches: set 15 min / On: choose Duolingo.
7. In Unblock: choose Instagram (for example).
8. Tap Schedule.

How can I make sure it works?

If you think you might lose motivation, you can turn on Strict Mode. It makes the block stronger and reduces the chance of giving up. Learn more

1. Open Jomo.
2. Go to Rules.
3. Tap your Duolingo rule.
4. Under Difficulty > Turn on Strict Mode.
5. Tap Save.
