Trusted Keyholder
When you share a lock with a keyholder, they start with a limited set of actions. Granting trust permanently upgrades their control over the session.
Granting Trust
On a shared lock, the wearer can tap the Trust button on the lock detail page. Once trust is granted, it cannot be revoked. This is an intentional one-way decision — think carefully before confirming.
The keyholder receives a notification as soon as trust is granted.
What an Untrusted Keyholder Can Do
Even without trust, a keyholder can:
- Add time to the lock
- Remove time from the lock
- Add random time (within a range)
- View the lock timer and session details
What Trust Unlocks
Trusted keyholders gain access to the following controls:
Indefinite Freeze
An untrusted keyholder can freeze a lock, but the freeze is timed (1 hour by default) and limited to 3 freezes per day. A trusted keyholder can freeze indefinitely — the timer stays paused until they choose to unfreeze — with no daily limit.
Lock Settings
Trusted keyholders can modify settings that an untrusted keyholder cannot touch:
- Show or hide remaining time from the wearer
- Show or hide session history
- Toggle info hidden mode
- Enable or disable casino games (blackjack, slot machine, roulette)
Geofence Configuration
If the geofence module is active, only a trusted keyholder can edit geofence boundaries and rules after the lock has started.
Writing Tasks
Trusted keyholders can assign writing/typing tasks with deadlines and penalties. Untrusted keyholders cannot assign tasks.
Card Deck Management
Trusted keyholders can add or remove cards from the card game deck (for example, adding more red cards or removing green cards). An untrusted keyholder has no access to card management.
Emergency Release Disable
With trust, the wearer gains the option to disable emergency release entirely — removing the ability to escape early. This option only appears after trust has been granted.

Trust cannot be undone. Once you grant trust, the keyholder keeps their elevated permissions for the entire session. The only exception is if a green card surprise is applied, which removes trust as part of the surprise mechanic.
