• How to exclude websites from adult content blocking in Jomo?

  You've activated the “Adult Content” filter and some sites are blocked when they shouldn't be? This is called a “false positive”. Jomo relies on Apple's “Screen Time” technology and sometimes certain sites can be considered “Adult” when they're not (for example, shopping sites, because of lingerie, categorized as “nudity”). Rest assured, we've provided a way to relax the restrictions if need be. ❌ How do I exclude a site from the “Adult Content” filter? To adjust the filter, here's hoFew readers

• How do I block an app based on my location?

  It's not (yet) possible to do this directly from Jomo. So in the meantime, we'll be using a combo of Jomo and the Shortcuts application. This automation is very simple to set up and will only take you a few minutes (barely). How does it work? The aim is to block or unblock an application when you arrive in a specific geographical area. *For example, you might want to block e-mails when you're at home, or block your music application by default, but make it available only when you're at the gymFew readers

• How to block apps without Apple's Screen Time?

  By default, Jomo uses Apple’s Screen Time to block apps. You select an app to block, and Jomo sends this information to Screen Time, which grays out the app and makes it inaccessible. However, there are some drawbacks: Certain apps (Settings, Apple Health, etc.) can’t be blocked. You won’t receive notifications from blocked apps. Blocking popular apps like YouTube or Instagram also blocks their websites, which might not be what you want. Luckily, there’s another method. UsingFew readers

• How to deactivate "Snooze" and "Refresh"?

  For certain rules (especially sessions), you have the option to temporarily disable them. This is ideal if your schedule changes or you’re going on vacation. Also, if you experience issues with other rules (like actions and limits), you can choose to "Refresh" them. We added these options because many of you requested them.

• How do I change the categorization of an app on Jomo?

  Jomo is the first app to offer a “Journaling” feature, allowing you to better understand your screen time.
