Yes. Tonic can lock websites in Safari, not just apps. When you pick what to lock, the same Apple picker lets you add web domains alongside apps. This is useful if you mainly browse social sites on the web instead of in their apps. The locked site then behaves like any locked app.
How it works
When you choose the apps to lock in a ritual or a limit, Tonic uses Apple's picker, the same screen that lists your apps. That picker also has a place to add specific websites. Anything you add there gets locked in Safari the same way a locked app does, until you earn time or your limit lets you back in.
This is built for the web-only case. If your social or news habit lives in Safari rather than in the app, you can lock the site directly and still earn your way in.
Add a website to a ritual or limit
- Open the picker.Create or edit a ritual or limit, then tap to choose the apps you want to lock. Apple's picker opens.
- Find the websites section.Inside the picker, look for the option to add a specific website. Apple groups apps, categories, and websites together here.
- Add the domain.Type the site you want to lock, for example the address of a social or news site you open in Safari.
- Save.Tap Done in the picker, then save your ritual or limit. The site is now locked in Safari on the same terms as your apps.
What to expect
- Opening the locked site in Safari shows the lock screen, the same one your locked apps show.
- It unlocks on the same terms: you earn time with your habit, or your limit lets you back in.
- Apple keeps a site's name private the same way it does for apps, so Tonic sees that you picked a site but not its name.
Good to know
Website locking works in Safari. Other browsers and in-app browsers may open the same page without the lock, since this works through Safari. If you want a site fully locked, lock its app too where one exists. Apple also caps how many separate websites can be locked at once, so if you are adding a long list, keep it to the sites that matter most.
