Frequently Asked Questions
What is TidyLock?
TidyLock is a screen time blocker that motivates you to keep your space clean. It blocks distracting apps until you verify that your cleaning missions are done.
How does photo verification work?
When you submit a photo, AI analyzes it for cleanliness based on your specific mission (e.g. "no dirty dishes in sink"). You get a score from 1-10 and need to pass the threshold to unlock your apps.
Is my data private?
Yes. Photos are sent to AI for verification and are not stored permanently. Your cleaning data stays on your device. Learn more
