Terms of Use

Last updated: 26 July 2026

Agreement

By downloading or using Gratitude: Mindful Blocking ("the app"), you agree to these terms. The app is also covered by Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement, available at apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula.

What the app is for

The app helps you reduce compulsive phone use by placing a shield over apps you choose and asking you to record a gratitude before unlocking them. It is a wellbeing tool for personal use. It is not a medical device, and it does not provide medical, psychological, or therapeutic advice.

Your responsibilities

• You choose which apps to shield and how long each unlock lasts.
• Do not rely on the app to block access in situations where failure could cause harm — it is a self-discipline aid, not a security control.
• You are responsible for keeping your device and Apple ID secure.

Subscriptions

The app is free to download and use. Pro is an optional auto-renewable subscription purchased through your Apple ID:

• Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase.
• Your subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
• Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period, at the rate shown at purchase.
• You can manage or cancel your subscription in Settings → your Apple ID → Subscriptions. Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription.

Refunds

Purchases are processed by Apple. Refund requests are handled by Apple through reportaproblem.apple.com; we cannot issue refunds directly.

Disclaimer

The app is provided "as is", without warranty of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect or consequential loss arising from your use of the app.

Changes

We may update these terms. Continued use of the app after an update means you accept the revised terms. The date at the top of this page shows the current version.
