Symptoms
You try to stop a block early and the app refuses. The disable button is greyed out, requires a timer to run out, or demands you type a long random string.
This is the feature
Locked blocks are the entire reason FocusDragon exists. Timer locks, password locks, random-text locks, and Frozen mode are designed to make early-exit harder than just pushing through the urge. If they could be cancelled with a button, they wouldn't be locks.
Unlock conditions
- Timer lock — wait until the countdown reaches zero.
- Random-text lock — type the displayed random string correctly. There is no shortcut.
- Password lock — enter the password you set at block creation. We do not store or recover it.
- Frozen lock — wait the full configured cool-down window.
Genuine emergencies
If you need to use a blocked tool for a medical or safety emergency, see the "Fatal mistake recovery" guide. The nuclear options there work, but they cost you the full lock duration to set up. They exist for a reason — keep them in your back pocket; don't treat them as a normal escape hatch.
Still stuck? Contact support at hi@focusdragon.app — but please understand: we cannot disable a locked block for you, no matter how convincing the reason.
