Question 1

How does DialGate lock my apps?

Accepted Answer

DialGate uses Apple's built-in Screen Time technology to lock the apps you choose, like social media or games, during the hours you set. When your scheduled focus window starts, those apps get a lock screen instead of opening. They unlock automatically once you've hit your daily prospecting goal, or you can start a focus block anytime with "Lock In Now."

Question 2

Can I get around the lock?

Accepted Answer

DialGate is built on Apple's official Screen Time system, so it's not something you can casually swipe past. If you truly need to stop a session early, DialGate lets you forfeit it, but depending on your Commitment Level setting, that comes with a confirmation step so you don't do it on impulse. The goal is friction, not a prison.

Question 3

What apps can I lock?

Accepted Answer

Any app on your phone that you choose. Most people lock the apps that distract them most, like social media, games, or news apps, while leaving everything else (texts, maps, banking, etc.) completely usable.

Question 4

Does DialGate work with my real estate CRM?

Accepted Answer

Yes. During setup, you pick the CRM or dialer app you actually prospect in (like Follow Up Boss, kvCORE, Sierra Interactive, or your phone's native Contacts). DialGate tracks time spent in that app, plus your real phone calls, toward your daily goal.

Question 5

Does DialGate see who I call or what's in my CRM?

Accepted Answer

No. DialGate only measures how much time you're active. It never reads your contacts, call content, CRM records, or messages. When you pick a contact to call from within the app, that's handled by Apple's own contact picker, which runs separately from DialGate and never shares your address book with us.

Question 6

What happens if I don't hit my goal?

Accepted Answer

Your chosen apps stay locked for the rest of your scheduled window. There's no penalty beyond that, no lost data, no shame, just apps that unlock once you've put in the work (or once your window ends).

Question 7

What if I use my phone for personal stuff too?

Accepted Answer

No problem. DialGate only locks the specific apps you selected, so everything else on your phone works exactly as normal the whole time. And once your focus window ends or your goal is hit, your locked apps open right back up.

Question 8

How do I cancel my subscription?

Accepted Answer

DialGate subscriptions are billed and managed entirely through Apple. We never see or store your payment details. To cancel, open your iPhone's Settings app, tap your name at the top, then Subscriptions, and select DialGate. You can cancel anytime and you'll keep access through the end of your current billing period.

Question 9

Does DialGate work without an internet connection?

Accepted Answer

Mostly, yes. App locking, tracking, and unlocking all happen right on your phone using Apple's Screen Time technology, so they keep working offline. You'll need an internet connection to sign in, verify your subscription, or restore a purchase on a new device.
