Send feedback from the app
The quickest way to report a problem: open Smombie, tap your avatar on Home to open Settings, then tap Send feedback. Leave "Include diagnostic logs" on. The logs show exactly what Smombie did and when over the last two weeks, and they never include which apps you block.
How does Smombie block apps?
Smombie uses Apple's Screen Time frameworks, the same system behind Downtime. You pick apps, categories or websites, and iOS shields them while a rule is active.
Can Smombie see what I do on my phone?
No. Apple only hands Smombie anonymous tokens for the apps you pick. Usage numbers are drawn by iOS on your device and never leave it.
What happens when I really need an app?
Tap the shield, open Smombie, and take a 1, 5 or 15 minute break after a short pause. The apps lock again on their own when it's over.
Why does my Smombie look sick?
His mood follows today's time in the apps your rules cover: fresh under 20 minutes, a full zombie after two and a half hours. He's fresh again every morning.
How do I cancel my subscription?
Apple handles billing. Open Settings, tap your name, then Subscriptions, and cancel Smombie Pro there. Cancel at least a day before the trial ends to avoid being charged.
Smombie stopped blocking apps
Check that Screen Time access is still on: open iOS Settings, then Screen Time, then Apps with Screen Time Access, and make sure Smombie is allowed. Then open Smombie once so it can set up your rules again.
Restoring a purchase
On a new iPhone, open Settings in Smombie and tap Restore purchases while signed in with the same Apple ID you used to subscribe.
