- A photo key stores a 3D scene map and reference photo on-device; the page says images of the spot shown on another screen are refused.
Field notes
Setup separates scheduled blocks, such as bedtime or a workday, from daily free-minute budgets. To earn a 10-minute pass, the user can scan a chosen physical scene—represented by an on-device 3D map and photo—or walk a chosen step count; the page says shaking does not count. On Strict, loosening a rule takes 24 hours, while tightening it is immediate. An emergency override is described as opening every booth for 30 minutes once a week.
