1. The service
Yoake locks the apps you choose when you tap Good Night at night, and opens them again once you get up and walk in the morning. How well you keep your bedtime and wake-up goals decides today’s time for those apps, and any time you don’t use becomes saved time for later days. Locking and opening apps uses Screen Time (Family Controls) on iOS.
2. Free trial and purchases
- Every feature is free for 14 days after you install the app. No purchase is needed, and the trial doesn’t turn into a paid plan on its own
- When the trial ends, app locking, today’s time, and saved time stop, and your apps open right away. Your log stays. To keep going, buy one of these
- Lifetime: one payment, yours forever. It never renews
- Yearly (auto-renews): renews every year
- Monthly (auto-renews): renews every month
- Prices are as shown in the App Store. Auto-renewing plans renew at the same price unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Cancel in Settings > [your name] > Subscriptions on your iPhone. You keep access until the end of the period you’ve paid for
- Refunds are handled by Apple under the App Store terms. Request one at reportaproblem.apple.com
- Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts, or modifies any consumer guarantee or right you have under the Australian Consumer Law or any other law that can’t be excluded by agreement
- If you get a new iPhone or reinstall the app, tap Restore Purchases in the app to get your plan back at no extra cost. You need the same Apple Account you bought with
- For customers in Japan, see the Legal Notice (Japan) page
- The developer may add other plans in the future. The plan you’re on won’t be changed to your disadvantage while you’re subscribed
3. Limits of the mechanism (important)
- App locking relies on Screen Time on iOS. If you remove Screen Time permission, delete the app, or change the device clock, apps can no longer be locked. Yoake doesn’t prevent this. It only records “no permission” in your log
- The wake-up check uses your iPhone’s pedometer. Steps taken without your iPhone aren’t counted. iPad isn’t supported
- Emergency Unlock opens your apps for 15 minutes at a time. How often you can use it depends on the mode, and there’s no way to open them beyond that
- Don’t include apps you need in an emergency, such as Phone, Messages, or Maps. The developer isn’t responsible for any harm caused by a chosen app being locked, such as being unable to reach someone
- iOS measures today’s time, and it can be off by a few minutes
4. Health
Yoake doesn’t provide medical advice or treatment for sleep. Set bedtime and wake-up goals that suit your own health. If your sleep window drops below 6 hours, Settings shows it in red but doesn’t stop you. If you have health concerns, talk to a doctor.
5. Things you must not do
- Set up Yoake on someone else’s device without their consent
- Reverse-engineer or modify the app, or fake a purchase
- Use the app for anything illegal
6. Disclaimer
Yoake is provided as is. Except in cases of intent or gross negligence, the developer isn’t liable for damage caused by a wrong check, apps that weren’t closed, apps that were closed, or outages of iOS or the App Store. Where the developer is liable, liability is capped at the amount you paid for Yoake in the last 12 months.
7. Changes and discontinuation
The developer may change features or discontinue the service after giving notice. If the service is discontinued, you’ll get at least 30 days’ notice. Your records live on your device and in your iCloud, so they stay with you afterward.
8. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of Japan, and the court with jurisdiction over the developer’s place of residence is the exclusive court of first instance. This doesn’t take away any rights you have under the mandatory consumer-protection laws of the country you live in.
9. End User License Agreement (EULA)
The app itself is licensed to you under Apple’s standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
These terms apply in addition to it. If the two conflict, the standard EULA governs your relationship with Apple, and these terms govern your relationship with the developer.
