How to use & FAQ
Lumisera locks apps until you finish what you need to do, and grows Lumi, a spirit of light, with your focus time.
Getting started
1. Tap “Create TODO”, then choose what to do and which apps to lock. 2. When you are done, tap “Unlock”. 3. Your locked time becomes Lumi's light and raises its level. On first launch we ask for Screen Time access (needed to lock apps) and notification permission.
Lock modes
・Normal: unlock after completing every TODO. ・Activity: unlock once you reach your step goal. ・Quick: unlock when the set time has passed. ・NFC Touch (Premium): unlock by touching your registered card. Everyday cards such as transit IC cards, ID badges and loyalty cards work. ・Schedule: locks and unlocks automatically at set times.
Multiple locks and combined conditions
With Premium you can create up to 5 locks, each with its own TODOs and apps (Free: 1). You can also combine TODO, step and time conditions so the lock opens only when all are met. Apps can be added to a lock later.
Blocking websites (Premium)
In addition to apps, a lock can block websites in your browser. Build your list under “Manage blocked sites” in Settings, then choose from it when you create a lock. Blocking applies to the whole site, including subdomains. Your list is stored only on your device.
Apps and sites can only be added
Once a lock is created, you can't remove or swap the apps or sites you first chose. You can only add more. This prevents swapping things out to escape a lock.
Growing Lumi
Focus time spent locked (1 minute or more) becomes Lumi's light. There are 100 levels, and its look and rank change at each stage. You can change Lumi's name and color from the Lumi screen. Unlocks under 1 minute do not count.
Everyone (anonymous feed)
You can share your achievements anonymously. No sign-in is needed, and only Lumi's name, color, level and what you achieved are shown. Send cheers to keep each other motivated. Please report inappropriate posts.
Time Map and widgets
Enter your birth date to see the weeks of your life and the time you have reclaimed (life expectancy is only an estimate). Widgets for Lumi and the Time Map can be added to your Home Screen, and the Lock Screen shows the remaining time while locked.
Q. I can't unlock
Check the conditions (TODOs, steps, time, card). If you really must unlock, use “Emergency unlock” on the card and wait 10 minutes. Forced unlocks are recorded and do not count toward Lumi's growth.
Q. I can't pick apps / apps aren't locked
Make sure Screen Time is turned on in iPhone Settings and that the App has permission. You can change permissions in Settings.
Q. I get no notifications
Allow notifications in iPhone Settings → Notifications → Lumisera. Notifications may not arrive during Focus or Do Not Disturb.
Q. Can I transfer data to a new phone?
Because there is no sign-in, Lumi and your records cannot currently be transferred. Purchases can be restored with the same Apple ID via “Restore purchases”.
Q. How do I cancel?
You can cancel anytime in iPhone Settings → your name → Subscriptions. Cancel at least 24 hours before renewal to avoid the next charge.
