Terms of Use
Last updated: August 19, 2026
Quick Summary
Faithlocked blocks selected apps until you complete a prayer. A subscription is required for full functionality. No user account is necessary — all data stays on your device. These Terms cover the app on iOS (App Store) and Android (Google Play).
1. Acceptance
By downloading, installing, or using Faithlocked ("the App") on iOS or Android, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, do not use the App.
2. Service Description
Faithlocked is a faith-focused screen-time app that helps you spend less time on distracting apps and more time in prayer. The App provides:
- App blocking via Apple's Screen Time framework (FamilyControls) on iOS, and via Android's Accessibility service or Usage access on Android.
- Guided prayers generated on demand, paired with scripture references.
- Blocking rules with schedules and selectable app categories.
- Temporary unlock sessions earned by completing a prayer.
- Streaks and prayer history stored locally on your device.
An active subscription and the relevant blocking permissions for your platform are required for full functionality. Faithlocked blocks apps only — it does not block websites or web content.
3. No Account Needed
Everything is stored on your device. No sign-up, no login, no password required.
4. Subscriptions
4.1 Requirement
An active subscription is required to access all features. Weekly, monthly, and yearly plans may be offered.
4.2 Billing
- Payment is charged to your Apple ID (iOS) or your Google Play account (Android) at confirmation of purchase.
- Subscriptions automatically renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
- Renewal is charged within 24 hours before the current period ends, at the same price unless the store notifies you otherwise.
4.3 Management & Cancellation
- Manage subscriptions in iOS Settings > Your Name > Subscriptions, or on Android in Google Play > Payments & subscriptions > Subscriptions.
- Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.
- No refunds for unused portions of a subscription period.
- When a subscription expires, prayer-locked app blocking features will be disabled.
4.4 Free Trial
Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you purchase a subscription. After the trial expires, continued use requires a subscription.
4.5 Refunds
All purchases are processed by the store you bought from — Apple on iOS, Google Play on Android. Refund requests must be made through that store, not through us, and all purchases are final unless the store's refund policy permits otherwise.
4.6 Refund Requests & Consumption Data
If we receive a refund request for an in-app purchase, we may provide Apple — through our subscription management provider, Adapty — with information about your in-app purchase activity so Apple can make an informed decision. This may include details such as the time since app installation, total app usage time, an anonymized account identifier, whether the in-app purchase was fully consumed, whether it included a trial period, the total amount spent, and the total amount refunded. By accepting these Terms, you consent to this data sharing. You may withdraw your consent at any time by emailing us at support@faithlocked.app, after which we will no longer share this data with Apple for your future refund requests. This section applies to App Store purchases only; Google Play refunds are decided by Google and we share no consumption data with Google.
5. App Blocking Permissions
By granting the blocking permissions the App requests, you acknowledge that:
- The App can block selected apps on your device.
- Blocked apps are unlocked by completing a prayer or by your configured rule schedule.
- We are not responsible for missed notifications, messages, or calls from blocked apps.
- Granting these permissions is optional, and you can revoke them at any time — see below.
5.1 iOS
Blocking uses Apple Screen Time (FamilyControls). You can revoke access at any time in Settings > Screen Time.
5.2 Android
Blocking uses Android's Accessibility service or Usage access to detect which app you bring to the foreground, a foreground service to stay active, and the "display over other apps" permission to show the prayer screen above a blocked app. The App reads only the package name of the foreground app — never your screen contents, messages, or anything you type — and that information never leaves your device. You can revoke each permission in Android Settings (Accessibility, Special app access > Usage access, and Special app access > Display over other apps). Because Android lets manufacturers and battery-optimisation settings stop background services, blocking may be delayed or interrupted on some devices; excluding Faithlocked from battery optimisation reduces this.
6. Prayer Generation
Prayers are generated by Google Gemini via our authenticated proxy. By using prayer features, you acknowledge that:
- Prayer text is generated by an AI model and may occasionally contain inaccuracies.
- Scripture references are validated against an on-device verse library.
- Prayers are provided for personal devotional use and do not constitute religious counsel, doctrine, or pastoral guidance.
- The service may be temporarily unavailable due to rate limits or upstream outages.
7. User Responsibilities
You agree to:
- Use the App in accordance with all applicable laws.
- Not attempt to circumvent app blocking through unauthorized methods.
- Not reverse-engineer, decompile, or exploit bugs in the App.
- Ensure minors have parental or guardian consent before using the blocking features.
We may restrict access for violations of these Terms.
8. Age Requirements
The App is rated for general audiences on both stores (4+ on the App Store, PEGI 3 on Google Play). Parents and guardians are responsible for supervising use by minors.
