Limits are calculated based on the screen time data provided by Apple’s Screen Time. Sometimes, the data sent by Apple may be incorrect due to a bug on their end. In those rare cases, limits may not work as expected in Jomo.

If your apps aren’t being blocked properly by Jomo, there could be a few different reasons. Before anything else, please double-check the following: That the apps are correctly selected in one of your rules in Jomo.  That the blocking rule is currently in a Blocking status (Active Rule).

You haven’t selected apps like Messenger, Facebook, or Spotify in Jomo, yet they’re still being blocked. That’s because a URL linked to one of those apps was blocked.

If one of your rules is set to Whitelist mode (blocks everything except a few apps) and your apps are still getting blocked, you might be dealing with a conflict between different screen time apps. Since iOS 17.4, a bug has caused compatibility issues between screen time apps, especially when a blocking rule uses the Whitelist mode.

⏳ Screen Time Issues
Estimated screen time is incorrect
Jomo uses two methods to calculate screen time: ⚙️ Estimated Screen Time This is the total time spent on apps, based on data from Apple Screen Time. 🍎 Apple Screen Time This is the raw screen time directly sent by Apple’s Screen Time feature. It’s calculated and managed by Apple. (https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/3/2/1/9/3219039fc179d800/download-crisp5u3p7g.png =1314xauto) 🍎 Haven’t installed Jomo yet?

Unlike Screen Time, Jomo focuses solely on a more accurate screen time measurement, ignoring moments when you're not actively doing anything on your phone (for example, just checking your home screen).

When updating from iOS 16 to iOS 17, some technical changes were made to Screen Time, specifically regarding data transmission. Although we did our best to fix this technical issue, we currently have no official fix from Apple. This may explain why the Home Screen doesn't look the same. This problem affects ALL Screen Time apps and ONLY concerns data (not app blocking).

We’re really sorry you’re experiencing this issue and we're truly sorry that it may affect your experience with Jomo. However, this is a recent Screen Time bug introduced in iOS 18, which duplicates the time spent on certain apps. The result? Multiple apps show the same screen time, even if you didn’t use them (e.g., 30 minutes on Wallet or Passwords).

How to disable "Share Across Devices" in Screen Time?
The Share Across Devices feature can corrupt Screen Time data in Jomo. To avoid any potential issues, we strongly recommend turning off this option on all your Apple devices connected to the same Apple ID. Don’t worry—this won’t disable Screen Time on your devices. It simply prevents the time tracked on each device from being merged.
