1. Acceptance of these terms

By downloading, installing, or using the Anchor mobile application ("Anchor," "the App"), developed by kiyen, you agree to these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree, please do not use the App. These Terms should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

2. Description of service

Anchor is a focus and screen-time management app that helps you block distracting apps and websites on your Android device, based on rules and schedules you configure. Anchor works entirely locally on your device and does not require creating an account. Some features are available only to Premium subscribers.

3. Eligibility

You must be old enough to consent to these Terms under the laws of your country, and able to lawfully use the Google Play Store, to use Anchor. Anchor is not directed at children under 13.

4. Subscriptions and billing

Anchor offers optional Premium subscriptions and a one-time lifetime purchase, processed through Google Play's billing system via our billing partner, RevenueCat.

  • Auto-renewal: subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period (monthly or annual, as selected) unless cancelled beforehand.
  • Cancellation: because Anchor has no account system, subscriptions are managed and cancelled through your Google Play subscription settings, not inside the App.
  • Refunds: refund requests are handled according to Google Play's own refund policy, since all payments are processed by Google Play.
  • Price changes: if the price of your subscription changes, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you (e.g., via Google Play's own required notice) before the new price applies to your next renewal.
  • Restoring purchases: if you reinstall the App or switch devices, you can restore an existing subscription or lifetime purchase using the "Restore Purchase" option, tied to your Google Play account.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  • Reverse engineer, decompile, or tamper with the App beyond what's permitted by applicable law.
  • Use Anchor to control, lock, or restrict a device you do not own or are not authorized to manage.
  • Attempt to circumvent Anchor's blocking or lock features for any purpose other than your own legitimate use of the App (e.g., abusing a bug to bypass billing).

6. Blocking and lock features — please read carefully

Anchor's core features intentionally restrict what you (or another user of your device) can do, as a tool to help you build better focus habits. Please understand the following before using these features:

"Lock Me Out"

This feature locks your device to the Anchor app with no exceptions (no whitelisted apps) for the duration of the session you set, using Anchor's accessibility service and a full-screen overlay. While active:

  • You will not be able to use other apps, including messaging or emergency-adjacent apps, until the session ends. Only the phone dialer and an Emergency call button remain reachable, and Anchor does not otherwise offer a way to end the session early.
  • Anchor does not guarantee emergency access to your device during a Lock Me Out session. Do not activate this feature if you may need to make calls, receive messages, or otherwise access your device for time-sensitive or emergency purposes during the session window.
  • We are not liable for any missed communications, delays, or consequences arising from your own decision to activate a Lock Me Out session.

Guard Mode — Deactivation Methods and Device Administrator

Guard Mode protects your profiles, settings, and the App itself from being changed, loosened, or uninstalled without first passing the Deactivation Methods you configure: a trusted password, a typing challenge (retyping a long random text), a timed attention hold, a QR code or NFC tag you've paired with your device, and/or a timer you set in advance. Depending on the unlock mode you choose, you must complete the challenges, wait out the timer, or either, before a protected change, turning Guard Mode off, or removing the App's Device Administrator registration to uninstall. Changes that only make a block stricter never require this.

  • There is no recovery for any Deactivation Method. The App warns you of this before you enable one. If you forget your password or cannot complete a challenge you've set up, the only way to regain access is to wait for any timer you set or to uninstall and reinstall the App — which, as described in our Privacy Policy, removes all of your local Anchor data. Anchor does not send recovery codes by email or any other channel.
  • Guard Mode registers the App as a Device Administrator solely to prevent uninstallation while it is enabled. This does not give Anchor the ability to wipe, lock, or otherwise control your device beyond blocking uninstall. If your device manufacturer blocks this registration, Guard Mode still activates, just without uninstall protection, and you'll be notified.
  • We are not liable for being unable to help you recover a forgotten password, a failed challenge, or lost access to Guard Mode settings you've configured — including the loss of your local data if uninstalling becomes your only way back in.

No guarantee against bypass or misuse

Anchor's blocking features rely on Android's Accessibility Service and related APIs. Like any app-based blocking tool, they can potentially be bypassed through means such as enabling airplane mode, disabling the app from Android Settings, using a secondary device, or performing a factory reset. Anchor is a productivity aid, not a security or parental-control guarantee, and we do not warrant that its blocking or lock features cannot be disabled or circumvented by you or anyone else with access to your device.

7. Intellectual property

Anchor, its design, logo, and underlying software are owned by kiyen and protected by applicable intellectual property laws. These Terms do not grant you any rights to our trademarks or branding beyond what's needed to use the App as intended.

8. Disclaimer of warranties

Anchor is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation. In particular, some Android device manufacturers apply aggressive battery-optimization or background-app restrictions that can interfere with Anchor's blocking engine despite our best efforts to work around them (the App will prompt you to adjust these settings where possible, but manufacturer behavior is outside our control).

9. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, kiyen shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, Anchor — including, without limitation, the risks described in Section 6 (device lock, uninstall-protection lockout, or missed communications). Anchor is not a safety-critical, medical, or emergency-service product, and should not be relied upon as one.

10. Termination

You may stop using Anchor at any time by uninstalling it. We may suspend or terminate your access to paid features (e.g., in cases of billing fraud or abuse) in accordance with Google Play's policies.

11. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Indonesia, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles, to the extent permitted by the mandatory consumer-protection laws of your own country of residence.

12. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms from time to time, for example to reflect a new feature or a change in applicable law. The "Effective date" at the top of this page reflects the latest version.
