Noodle

Support

Noodle is in beta. Testers can send feedback straight from TestFlight (take a screenshot, then tap Share Beta Feedback). A support email arrives with the public launch.

Quick fixes

A schedule didn’t start, or an app isn’t blocked

Open Noodle › Settings › System check and tap Repair everything. It re-registers every schedule with iOS and re-applies every block. Also check that the mode has apps picked and is switched on.

“I need it” on a blocked app does nothing

That button sends a notification that opens Noodle’s break screen. Turn on notifications for Noodle in the iPhone Settings app.

A mode with lots of apps stopped blocking

Apple blocks at most 50 apps per list. Past that, it quietly blocks none. Pick categories instead of single apps, or use “Block all except” (Noodle Plus).

I can’t edit or turn off a mode

Strict modes are locked while they’re running. They unlock when the schedule ends. In a real emergency, use Settings › Emergency unlock.

How is Noodle’s score worked out?

Noodle starts every day at 100. Time on your blocked apps costs up to 20 points while you’re under your daily goal, and half a point for every minute past it. Walking away from a blocked app earns 1.5 points, up to 10 a day. Finishing a focus session earns 4, once a day.

Restore Noodle Plus

Open Noodle › Settings › Noodle Plus › Restore purchases, signed in with the Apple Account you bought it with.

Delete my data

Delete the app to remove everything stored on your iPhone. If you created an account, also delete it in Settings › Account.
