Common questions

Can I get into a blocked app if I really need to?

Yes, with a gem: fifteen minutes for one, thirty for two. Every pass is recorded, and friends see it if you have turned on Show passed blocks. Meeting the habit lifts its block for free.

Strict mode, on by default, changes one thing: turning it off takes effect tomorrow. A block is friction you can see and undo, never a lock.

I missed a day. Is my streak gone?

Often not. A rest day and a paused day step over a streak; only finishing short ends one.

And if you did finish short and a real run ended, Ahonui offers that day back the next time you open it. A friend can also send you a streak cover.

Can I keep some apps from ever being blocked?

Yes, and Ahonui asks you to name them while you are setting it up: phone, maps, anything you might need in a hurry. They stay open whatever you have not done yet. Change the list any time in Settings, under Blocked apps.

Ahonui cannot see my workouts, steps or sleep.

Those come from Apple Health. Check iOS Settings, then Health, then Data Access & Devices, then Ahonui. Permission is granted per category, so water can be on while sleep is off.

Ahonui cannot see my medications.

Medications are a separate Health permission, asked for when you set up the habit. Check it in the same place.

Health shares the doses you log, not your schedule, so the habit asks you for the dose times once. The block holds from each one until that dose is marked taken or skipped in Health.

The widget is behind.

iOS decides when widgets redraw. Opening Ahonui refreshes them at once, and a glass logged from a widget or Control Center counts the moment you tap it.

How do I stop the reminder in the evening?

Settings, then Permissions, then turn off Evening reminder. It arrives once at most, only on a day with a run still to lose, and never on a rest day.

Words from friends are a separate thing and keep arriving. To stop everything, turn off notifications for Ahonui in iOS Settings.

Nothing is being blocked.

Screen Time has to be on for the iPhone itself: check iOS Settings, then Screen Time. Then confirm Ahonui still has Screen Time access, and that the habit has at least one app selected.

An app stayed blocked after I met the habit.

Open Ahonui and it settles at once. Blocks clear on the phone by themselves, but iOS decides when a closed app may wake up to check. If one stays blocked after you open Ahonui, that is a bug worth an email.

Does any of this work without a connection?

Blocking, yes. It is decided on the phone from your day and your rules, with no network and no sign-in.

Water, check-ins and the fast queue on the phone and post when you are back, so a glass logged in a dead spot still lifts its block, and a fast you start says so everywhere at once. A meal waits for a connection and tells you rather than catching up quietly.

I cannot find a food, or the numbers look wrong.

Tap the meal and edit it: search again, change the serving, or enter your own numbers. What you save is what counts.

How do I connect an AI assistant?

Point it at https://webhook.ahonui.app/mcp. In Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http ahonui https://webhook.ahonui.app/mcp. In Codex: codex mcp add ahonui --url https://webhook.ahonui.app/mcp then codex mcp login ahonui. Elsewhere, add a custom connector or HTTP MCP server with the same address.

You sign in and approve the one tool. It is included in your subscription: nothing extra to buy, no credits to run out of.

A connected assistant can read your health data and habits, log meals, water and fasts, set up habits, change goals and settings, and report on your month. It cannot choose which apps are blocked, because those selections never leave your iPhone. Everything it does is in your event history. To disconnect one, open Settings, then Connected tools.

How do I delete my account?

Settings, then Delete account. It removes your meals and photos, fasts, water, weigh-ins, workouts, sleep, pass history, goals and sign-in, and cannot be undone. Entries written into Apple Health stay there for you to remove.

I got a new phone. Is my data there?

Sign in and your history and goals come back. Blocked-app selections stay on the device they were made on, by iOS design, so pick them again.

Which iPhones does it run on?

Any iPhone on iOS 26.5 or later, with Screen Time enabled for blocking.
