Who Uses the Habit Control Smart Refrigerator Lock?
Alcohol & Snack Awareness
Lock the fridge or liquor cabinet during evenings or weekends. A practical tool for those looking to be more mindful about late-night snacking or alcohol consumption.
Intermittent Fasting (16:8, 18:6)
Set no-access windows to match your eating schedule - for example, restrict fridge, snack cabinet or pantry access between 08:00 PM to 12:00 PM(noon). The app blocks unlocking during those hours, helping reduce reliance on willpower alone.
Structured Nutrition Timing
Allow fridge access only around specific windows - supports structured nutrition plans.
Parental Control for Kids
Lock away video games, tablets, gaming controllers, laptops and other devices during homework hours or on weekdays. Parents retain admin access and can unlock them when needed, while children can’t bypass the schedule.
Late-Night Snacking Support
Set no-access hours - for example, from 9 PM to 5 AM - to support healthier nighttime habits. The app prevents the lock from opening during that time.
Supplement & Vitamin Storage
Store vitamins or supplements with scheduled access - useful for building consistent daily routines.
Office & Shared Spaces
Control access to shared fridges or snack storage in offices, dorms, or group living situations.
Senior Care & Consistent Meal Timing
Helps maintain consistent meal timing for elderly family members - a supportive tool for caregivers managing daily household routines.
Kids' After-School Snack Window
Allow snack access only in a defined window after school (e.g., 3–5 PM) - prevents grazing before dinner while giving kids a sense of independence.

Set personal access rules in shared living situations - protect your groceries without awkward conversations.

For users with different needs and admin permission level, an override option allows instant fridge access, bypassing the schedule or timer.

Yes. You can create different no-access windows for different days of the week. For example, you can use one schedule for weekdays and another for weekends.
What is self-control mode?
When enabled, no one - including Admin users - can unlock the lock early. The lock can only be opened during allowed access windows or after the timer expires.
Can I change the schedule during a no-access window?
If the schedule was activated with Self-Control Mode enabled, no. The schedule cannot be edited or disabled during a no-access period. You can make changes only after the current no-access period has ended.
Can I add time before the counter reaches zero?
It depends on whether you set the timer with the self-control feature enabled or not. If you turn it on, you can't add time; if it's off, you can turn off the timer and reset it to the desired time.
Can I override the Habit Control timer/schedule?
Our timer/schedule can be set with the self-control feature turned on or off. This means that you can set the timer/schedule for someone else and still have the ability to unlock the lock, or you can set it for yourself for self-control.
Can my child bypass the schedule?
No. Guest users cannot change schedule or unlock outside the allowed access window.
Does it work without Wi-Fi?
Yes. Wi-Fi is not required. The app requires an internet connection, which can be provided through either mobile data or Wi-Fi, while the lock connects to your phone via Bluetooth.

No. The lock does not open automatically. When the timer expires or a scheduled no-access period ends, simply unlock it manually using your smartphone
Can multiple people use the same lock?
Yes. You can share the lock with family members or roommates by granting Admin or Guest access through the app.
What's the difference between Admin and Guest?
Admins can manage settings, schedule, and timer (unless Self-Control Mode is enabled). Guests can only lock and unlock when access is allowed and cannot change schedule or unlock early.
What happens if my phone runs out of battery?
The lock settings, timer, schedule remain active. You'll simply need a charged compatible smartphone to connect to the lock again.
What happens if the lock's battery runs out?
Habit Control features an optional Auto Unlock on Low Battery function. When enabled, the lock automatically unlocks if the battery reaches a critically low level, helping prevent accidental lockouts.
Will it unlock if I simply remove the battery?
No. Removing the battery will not unlock the lock. The lock remains locked, and both the timer and any scheduled access settings continue running.
Can I open the lock with a tablet or laptop?
No. Unfortunately, at the moment the app is only designed for phones.
What should I do if I lock my phone in a cabinet or drawer equipped with Habit Control lock?
Our smart lock doesn't open on its own; to access your storage, you still need a smartphone. All you need to do is open the Habit Control app on any other phone, sign in to your account, and open the box.
What can I do if the application isn't working as expected?
We're sorry for any trouble with the app. Give restarting the app or your phone a shot, as it often does the trick. If the problem hangs around, try refreshing the Bluetooth connection. Need more help? Reach out to our friendly support team.
