Description
-
PERSONALIZED SMART LOCK BOX GIFT: Turn a practical habit-building tool into a meaningful personalized gift. Add a name, motivational message, or personal engraving to create a one-of-a-kind lock box for someone you care about. A thoughtful custom gift for birthdays, holidays, milestones, or anyone working toward better routines and healthier boundaries.
-
A GIFT WITH A PURPOSE: More than a personalized wooden box, Habit Control is designed to help create intentional boundaries around everyday distractions and habits. Use it for kids phones, gaming controllers, snacks, sweets, devices, or other items you want to access more intentionally.
-
PERSONALIZED ENGRAVING: Make each box truly personal with custom engraving in several locations. Outside Lid: choose a centered engraving, right bottom corner engraving, or both. Inside Lid: centered engraving only. Front Side: centered engraving only.
-
RULES, NOT WILLPOWER: Create clear access rules instead of relying on willpower alone. Decide in advance when access is available and let the lock help maintain that boundary when temptation or distraction appears.
-
AUTOMATED SCHEDULE LOCK BOX: Set recurring no-access periods for specific days and times. Once the schedule is created and activated, the lock follows it automatically without requiring you to reset a timer every day. Useful for rules such as “after homework,” “weekends only,” “screen-free evenings,” “office hours,” or planned eating windows.
-
TIMER + SELF-CONTROL MODE: Set one-time timers or recurring schedules. With Self-Control disabled, the owner or admin can unlock early when needed while guests cannot. With Self-Control enabled, early unlocking is blocked until the timer or restricted schedule ends. Supports timers up to 365 days and multiple recurring schedule windows.
-
APP-CONTROLLED & SHAREABLE: Connect through Bluetooth using the Habit Control app on compatible iPhone or Android smartphones. Share access with family or friends by email and assign Admin or Guest permissions depending on how much control each person should have.
-
BUILT-IN VIRTUAL TEST LOCKBOX: Explore the Habit Control app before connecting your physical box. The built-in virtual lock lets you test key app functions and understand how timer, schedule, and simple lock/unlock modes work.
-
PREMIUM BAMBOO GIFT BOX: Made from durable natural bamboo with a smooth finish, strong metal hinges, magnetic lid closure, steel latch, and integrated smart locking mechanism. Interior dimensions: 10.25 × 7.25 × 4 in. The natural wood construction also makes every box feel more like a keepsake or gift than a typical plastic lock container.
-
LONG BATTERY LIFE & SMART POWER CONTROL: Powered by 1× CR123 battery (included), providing up to approximately 12 months of use or 1,000 unlocks. The app displays battery level as a percentage, and optional low-battery auto-unlock can be enabled or disabled.
-
A PERSONAL REMINDER, EVERY TIME IT OPENS: Add a motivational engraving inside the lid such as a personal message, encouragement, or reminder from the gift giver. It turns the box from a simple storage device into something personal that can support the recipient’s goals over time.
-
⚠️ IMPORTANT: The lock does not unlock automatically when a timer or restricted schedule period ends. A compatible smartphone with the Habit Control app is required to unlock the box.
-
WARNINGS: 1) A compatible iOS or Android smartphone is required to unlock the box. 2) Do not place the box in a freezer. 3) Keep the locking mechanism dry.
-
DISCLAIMER: Habit Control physically limits access to stored items such as phones, gaming devices, snacks, and other everyday distractions. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent addiction or any medical condition, and results in habit change are not guaranteed.

frequently asked questions
What is your return policy?

Can I test the app before buying the lockbox?
Yes. Every account includes a virtual test lock with full functionality.
Can I use it without creating a schedule?
Yes. You can simply use it as an app-controlled Bluetooth lock or create a one-time timer whenever needed.
Can I create different schedule for different days?
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 this Self-Control feature and how it works?
Habit Control wooden lock box is not just a box with a lock, it's a powerful habit forming tool. Just place what tempts you in the box, set a timer with self-control feature on and it will be out of reach until time is up.
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.
Will the lock open automatically when timer runs out or no-access window ends?
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.
What should I do if I put my phone in a wooden box and locked it?
All you need to do is open the Habit Control app on any other phone, sign in to your account, and open the box.
Are there any instructions in the package?
Yes. You can watch the unboxing video.
Can I open the box with a tablet or laptop?
No. Unfortunately, at the moment the app is only designed for phones.
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.
