Why did my apps lock again after I finished?

How long your apps stay open depends on the setting you picked

Finishing opens your apps for a set amount of time

Finishing your reading and prayer opens the apps you picked. How long they stay open depends on a setting you chose:

  1. Nudge: your apps stay open until the next window
  2. Doomscroll Killer: your apps open for a shorter set time, then lock again
  3. Brutal: your apps open for an even shorter set time, then lock again

This is expected, not a bug

If you picked Doomscroll Killer or Brutal, your open time runs out on its own and the apps lock again. This is how the setting works, not a mistake.

Earning more open time

Finishing another reading and prayer window earns more open time. The shield tells you when your next chance to earn more is.

Changing this setting

  1. Open Spiritualrot
  2. Go to Settings, then Daily plan
  3. Pick Nudge, Doomscroll Killer, or Brutal
