Overeating While Working from Home? Beat the Cravings with This Smart Lock Solution

Overeating While Working from Home? Beat the Cravings with This Smart Lock Solution

Working from home has changed the way we live, work, and eat. With the kitchen just steps away, it’s easy to slip into habits like late-night snacking, emotional eating, or grazing throughout the day. Before you know it, you're reaching for snacks you didn’t plan to eat… again.

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone — and there’s finally a smart, effective solution that actually works.

Introducing Habit Control lock — a Bluetooth-enabled smart lock that helps you set boundaries with food, stick to a structured eating schedule, and avoid impulsive snacking without relying on willpower alone.

Control Cravings Before They Control You

Habit Control isn’t just a lock — it’s a powerful behavioral tool that allows you to take back control of your environment and your eating routine.

Install it on your fridge, pantry, or snack drawer, and use the app to create a clear eating schedule that works for your goals and lifestyle.

  • Trying intermittent fasting? Set the lock to remain closed outside of your eating window.
  • Working on portion control or avoiding nighttime snacking? Schedule lockouts during your most vulnerable hours.
  • Struggling with binge eating? Use strict mode with no override to help break the cycle.

With Habit Control, you don’t need to fight your cravings every time they hit — you simply remove the option by controlling access in advance.

How It Works

Habit Control is easy to use, yet incredibly effective. Here's how it supports habit change:

    • Set a custom lock timer for up to 366 days
    • Choose between: 1) Override Mode – allows flexibility and shared use 2) Strict Mode – no override, for stronger self-discipline
    • Use the app to create a personalized eating schedule that supports your daily rhythm
    • Simple adhesive installation, no drilling required

Even after the timer ends, the lock won’t open automatically — you still need to manually unlock it using your smartphone. That extra pause creates room for reflection, giving you the space to make conscious food choices.

Ideal For People Who... 

    • Want to follow a consistent eating schedule
    • Struggle with nighttime cravings or emotional eating
    • Tend to snack when bored or overwhelmed
    • Are working toward weight loss, mindful eating, or dietary structure
    • Need help setting boundaries around food in the home

Whether you're managing stress eating or just trying to eat more intentionally during your work-from-home day, Habit Control gives you the structure you need — on your terms

The blog introduces the Habit Control Smart Lock with a new "Schedule" feature that helps users manage their eating habits by restricting access to the fridge, pantry, or snack drawer during set hours. Controlled via a mobile app, the lock allows users to program specific time windows (e.g., 6 AM to 6 PM) when access is allowed, making it ideal for intermittent fasting or avoiding late-night snacking. This tool is especially useful for those struggling with willpower, as it removes the temptation by physically limiting access based on a pre-set schedule.
