Install Quitok
For iPhone with iOS 17.4 or later. The app’s alarm clock requires iOS 26.
This guide describes beta 3.1.0 (59). Some features may not yet be in the public version.
Getting started
- At setup, choose For me or Family. In Family, select whether this is the adult’s or the child’s phone.
- Review permissions using their buttons. Connecting an account or a phone does not automatically enable Screen Time, location or notifications.
How do I choose which apps to protect?
Tap Authorise and choose apps. Selection takes place on an Apple screen; Quitok does not receive the names of the selected apps. Review it in Settings → Change selected apps.
Do I need an account?
You can start using local features without registering. Settings → Account shows the sign-in options offered: Apple, Google or email. Use the same method to return to your account.
Where can I save a backup?
From age 14, your account lets you enable a private backup with separate permission. Signing in does not automatically upload your data. Review and enable backups in Settings → Account → Backup.
Can I use Quitok without a pet?
Yes. Choose the pet-free mode and spend time reading, focusing or doing other activities. Groups are also available in this mode.
Getting started with Family
Family is being tested in beta 3.1.0 (60). Prepare both iPhones and review each step together.
- On the adult’s phone, sign in, confirm your age and set up the child’s profile.
- On the child’s phone, scan the QR code, read it from a photo or enter the six-digit code. The adult reviews and confirms the request.
- Enable protection using the Screen Time button and select apps on that iPhone. Location and notifications require separate permission.
Where are the child’s settings?
The child’s phone has its own settings and permissions. Agreements and schedules are set up in Family; Screen Time authorisation and app selection are completed on the child’s iPhone.
What does the family map show?
The adult can view the family map. The child sees their own position and adults who have chosen to share with them, but not their siblings’ locations. Location sharing is a separate choice and can be stopped.
Are arrival alerts automatic?
The “I’ve arrived” button sends a manual update with a connection. In the beta, you can enable automatic arrival and departure alerts for saved places. They need “Always” and precise location on the child’s phone, notifications allowed on the adult’s phone and two consistent samples. iOS may delay alerts; each family must complete its permissions.
How do I disconnect the child’s phone?
On the child’s phone: Settings → Disconnect → Request permission.
On the adult’s phone: Family → child profile → Disconnection code. Generate the code and enter its six digits on the child’s phone.
The code can only be used once and lasts up to five minutes, within the request’s original ten-minute limit. Disconnecting the phone does not delete the family.
Location sharing and chat keep their own options for withdrawing permission.
Friend groups
From age 14, you can create a group or join using its invitation code. Share weekly progress, agreements and text chat. Minutes are aggregated and may take time to update.
You can report messages, block users or leave the group. Your journal, Claude chat and private app selection are not automatically shared with the group.
Sign in to your account
I registered with email but the confirmation has not arrived
Check the address, spam and promotions folders. Tap Resend email and open the latest link, then return to Quitok. If sending fails, note the message and time for support.
I signed in with Apple or Google: should I request an email?
Return using the same provider’s button. Resending confirmation applies to email registration. If you used Apple’s Hide My Email, use that same sign-in method to recover your account.
I've forgotten my password
If your account uses email and a password, enter the address and tap Forgot password. Open the latest link on the same iPhone. For Apple or Google accounts, use their sign-in button.
I signed in but my group is still missing
Account sign-in and your public Groups profile are separate steps. Check whether Quitok asks you to complete your username or confirm your age. Signing in does not mean you have already joined a group.
Night schedules
In Night, choose bedtime and wake-up times for each day of the week. Copy a schedule to other days and review changes before saving.
Points and streak
How many points do reading and focus activities earn?
One point per complete minute, with a shared daily maximum of 60 points across Library and rewarded activities in Your time. Watching series does not count towards this reward.
Is there a fixed penalty for going over two hours?
No. The current usage adjustment compares complete days with the average of comparable days in your previous personal week: the same apps and at least three reference days. No comparison is invented when there is not enough data.
What keeps my streak going?
Opening Quitok or returning to the app counts once a day. You do not need to complete an activity to keep your streak.
Claude and its permissions
Chat is optional and asks for specific permission before sending data. Ages 14–17 require an adult’s authorisation by QR or code and the teenager’s own acceptance. Connecting Family does not grant this permission.
Protection and notifications
Protection isn't working on my apps
In Quitok Settings, check Screen Time authorised, review Change selected apps and confirm that protection is active. If permission is missing, tap Authorise and choose apps. iOS reports accumulated usage in intervals, not every app opening.
I'm not receiving notifications
Enable Receive reminders, allow notifications in iOS and tap Send test notification. Leave Quitok: it is scheduled for five seconds later. Also check Focus modes and notification summary.
The test checks iPhone notifications. Usage alerts also need active protection and data from iOS; group and Family alerts need a connection.
Send us a diagnostic report
Open Settings → Diagnostic report and share it from Quitok. Add the time of the problem, your iOS version and what you expected to happen. Do not send passwords or access codes.
Delete your data
Delete your account
Open Settings → Account → Delete my account and review the confirmation. Deleting the account and resetting the iPhone profile are separate actions.
Start again on your iPhone
Settings → Start again deletes the local profile, history and preferences, and stops protection. It does not delete the server account or files you have already exported.
