KEY FEATURES:
The only lock that lets YOU decide the rules - before temptation hits.
The Habit Control Smart Fridge Lock is an app-controlled Bluetooth lock with scheduled access rules for fridges, cabinets, drawers, and pantries - no daily timer resets needed. It also supports manual lock/unlock and timed locking with individual timer. Built around the idea of precommitment strategy and structured access planning for everyday use. A flexible self-binding commitment tool for creating intentional boundaries around snacks, food, sweets, devices, alcohol, and other temptations.
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 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
Set "after homework" or "weekends only" access rules for children. Parents keep admin access and can override anytime - kids cannot bypass the schedule.
Nighttime Routine Support
Block fridge access after 9 PM to support consistent evening habits. The schedule repeats automatically - no daily resets needed.
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.
Roommate Boundaries
Set personal access rules in shared living situations - protect your groceries without awkward conversations.
⚠️ Important: The lock does not open automatically when the timer or schedule window ends - unlocking is done manually via smartphone.
Fits single-door and french door refrigerators, freezers, double-door cabinets, drawers, pantries, and cupboards. Also suitable for locking cell phones, tablets, and game consoles.

Yes. You can simply use it as an app-controlled Bluetooth lock or create a one-time timer whenever needed.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
No. Guest users cannot change schedule or unlock outside the allowed access window.
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.

The lock settings, timer, schedule remain active. You'll simply need a charged compatible smartphone to connect to the lock again.
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.
No. Removing the battery will not unlock the lock. The lock remains locked, and both the timer and any scheduled access settings continue running.
No. Unfortunately, at the moment the app is only designed for phones.
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.
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.

Night eating is often driven by habits and your environment - not just hunger. Learn evidence-based strategies to reduce late-night snacking by changing your surroundings, using precommitment, and making healthier choices easier.
Struggling with snacking while working from home? Habit Control lock is a Bluetooth-enabled smart lock designed to help you stick to a structured eating schedule and avoid impulsive eating. Whether you're intermittent fasting, working on portion control, or trying to break the binge cycle, this easy-to-use lock installs on your fridge or pantry and lets you set custom lock times through an app. With flexible and strict timer modes, it supports mindful eating and helps you build healthier habits — without relying on willpower alone. Take back control of your routine, one meal at a time.
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., 3 PM to 12 AM) when access is blocked, 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.
Excessive smartphone use is causing emotional disconnection in relationships, with people becoming physically present but emotionally absent. The impact includes less meaningful conversations and reduced intimacy, especially within families. Simple steps, like limiting screen time during key moments, can help restore connection. Products such as the time-lock safe and portable phone lock box encourage phone-free quality time, helping families and couples reconnect and build stronger emotional bonds.
