Bug fixes.

Fixed a serious bug that could make the whole phone stop responding for around twenty seconds after tapping "Use 15 min" on a blocked app. It was most likely to happen just after midnight, when a new day's free time appears. Changing an app's rules no longer waits 30 minutes when that app isn't protected. Set an app up before you switch protection on, or change the workout and times on an app you've paused, and it applies straight away. Easing a rule on an app that is currently locked still waits half an hour. That's the part that makes Lockout work, and it hasn't moved.

Choose how you earn your way in. An app can now have more than one workout on it — push-ups and a walk, say. When you reach for it, Lockout asks which one you'd rather do this time. Useful when you're out, at a desk, or dressed for anything but press-ups. Any one of them opens the app; they're alternatives, not a list to get through. Apps with a single workout are unchanged — one tap and you're straight into it. Lockout also no longer asks you to type an app's name when you add it.

Your time left now actually counts down, and blocking lands on time. Apple's usage-reporting API stopped behaving on iOS 26 — it reports minutes that were never spent, and then reports nothing at all. That is why an unlocked app could sit at "30 minutes left" for an hour and lock at the wrong moment. Lockout no longer depends on it. • The counter ticks in real time, and a protected app locks itself again exactly when your time is up — even if Lockout is closed or force-quit. • Your free daily minutes are now offered on the block screen itself: one tap, no push-ups. • Locking an app early stops the clock and keeps the time you have left, instead of giving it up. • Each app now shows what you earned for it today, rather than what is left of it.

Fixes for the three things that got in the way. Your unlocked time now works properly. An app you had earned time on could relock the moment you opened it — or never relock at all — and the minutes remaining never moved. Time is now spent as you actually use the app, the counter keeps up, and an app always locks itself again when the time is gone. Nothing is locked before you can unlock it. Setting Lockout up no longer blocks your apps until your subscription is active, so you can never be left with a locked app and no way to earn your way back in. Running counts. Walking challenges used to warn "Lockout only counts walking" if you picked up the pace, and stopped crediting the distance. Any pace you can manage on foot now counts, from a stroll to a sprint. The subscription screen fits your phone, with both plans visible without scrolling.
