How to use Gobyou, and answers to common questions

Getting started

1. Allow Screen Time and notifications

You can do this on first launch, or later from the Home screen banner or Settings → Permissions.

2. Choose the apps to block

Tap “Choose apps to block” on the Home screen and pick apps or categories, then turn Block on.

3. Challenge your way in

Open a blocked app → tap “Challenge” on the shield → tap the notification → win three micro-games and the app opens for the minutes you set.

FAQ

Nothing happens when I tap “Challenge”

Check that notifications are allowed (Settings → Gobyou → Notifications). If the Home screen shows a warning, tap “Fix” to grant it. You can also skip the notification entirely and just open the Gobyou app — the challenge starts automatically.

I want to start the game faster

Any of these work:
· Tap the Lock Screen or Home Screen widget
· Add the “Gobyou Challenge” button to Control Center and tap it
· Use a Shortcuts automation (in-app: Shortcuts integration → See setup steps)

The app isn't re-blocked after the unlock ends

Opening Gobyou re-applies the shield. You can also use Settings → “Re-apply shield”.

I only want blocking at certain times

On the Home screen, tap “Blocking always / Only on schedule” to set days and time windows. Presets are provided for bedtime, weekday evenings and work hours.

How do I cancel my subscription?

iPhone Settings → your Apple Account → Subscriptions.

Reporting a bug

Go to Settings → Diagnostics → “Copy all” and paste the log into your email. It makes the cause much easier to find.
