How a Smart Lock Can Help You Eat Better: Introducing the New "Schedule" Feature

Have you ever tried intermittent fasting, sticking to an eating schedule, or just avoiding late-night snacking — only to find yourself standing in front of the fridge at 10 PM? We get it. Willpower fades, but cravings don’t.

That’s exactly why we created the Habit Control Smart Lock — and now it comes with a powerful new feature: "Schedule".

What does it do?

This smart lock attaches to your fridge, pantry, or snack drawer. You control it via a mobile app where you can:

  • Manually lock or unlock it
  • Set a countdown timer
  • And now — create a custom schedule that defines when the app will block access and keep the lock securely shut. During all other times, you’ll be able to open the lock as usual.

Real-life example:

Let’s say you want to get in shape for summer and decide to try intermittent fasting — eating only between 9 AM and 3 PM. In the app, simply select "Schedule" mode, choose your day, and set specific hours when the lock cannot be opened.

In this example, you would create two events:

  • 12 AM to 9 AM
  • 3 PM to 12 AM

These settings ensure the lock is only accessible between 9 AM and 3 PM.
If you’d like the same schedule every day, just repeat these settings for each day (e.g., Sunday through Monday).


The rest of the time? The lock stays closed — and your late-night snack runs just aren’t an option anymore.

Who is this for?

  • Anyone practicing intermittent fasting (16:8, 18:6, etc.)
  • People trying to cut back on evening or nighttime eating
  • Those who struggle with impulse snacking
  • Parents who want to limit kids’ access to sweets or snacks

Why does it work?

Because the decision is made ahead of time, when your motivation is high — not in the moment, when temptation strikes.
You're not “trying” to say no to the cookies — you simply can’t reach them. That’s a game-changer.
