Terms of Service

Last Updated: March 13, 2026

Acceptance of Terms

By downloading, installing, or using Anchor App Blocker ("the App"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, do not use the App.

Description of Service

Anchor is a digital wellness application that helps users manage screen time by blocking apps and websites. The App uses Apple's Screen Time API (FamilyControls, ManagedSettings, DeviceActivity) to provide blocking functionality.

Subscriptions & In-App Purchases

• Free Tier: Anchor provides basic features for free, including up to 2 block groups, basic enforcement levels, and 7 days of analytics.
• Anchor Pro: Premium features are available via subscription (monthly or yearly) or a one-time lifetime purchase.
• Free Trial: New subscribers may be eligible for a 3-day free trial. The trial begins at sign-up and converts to a paid subscription unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the trial ends.
• Auto-Renewal: Subscriptions automatically renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends.
• Management: You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time in your device's Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions.
• Refunds: All purchases are processed by Apple. Refund requests must be directed to Apple per their refund policy.

Commitment Lock & Session Features

Anchor includes features that intentionally restrict your ability to access certain apps for the duration you set. By using Commitment Lock, Hard Lock, Combo Lock, or similar features, you acknowledge that:

• You are voluntarily choosing to restrict your own app access.
• Sessions cannot be ended early without using the Emergency Unlock feature (which is rate-limited).
• The App is not responsible for any inconvenience caused by locked sessions you initiate.

Emergency Unlock

An Emergency Unlock feature is always available to end all active sessions, including locked ones. This feature is rate-limited to 3 uses per hour for accountability purposes.

User Responsibilities

• You are responsible for the sessions and restrictions you configure.
• You should not set restrictions that could endanger your safety (e.g., blocking communication apps in emergencies).
• You must be at least 13 years old to use the App, or have parental consent.

Intellectual Property

All content, features, and functionality of the App are owned by the developer and are protected by intellectual property laws.

Disclaimer of Warranties

The App is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We do not guarantee that the App will be error-free, uninterrupted, or that blocking will work in all circumstances. Apple's Screen Time API behavior may vary across iOS versions.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the developer shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of the App.

Apple's Standard EULA

Use of the App is also subject to Apple's Standard End User License Agreement (EULA).

Changes to Terms

We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
