Terms of use
By using the Locked Out app or website you agree to these terms and our privacy policy. If anything is unclear, email support@lockedoutapp.site.
The service
Locked Out (run by an independent developer in India) helps you cut down on distracting apps. You choose apps and a daily limit; when the limit runs out, those apps are locked using Apple’s Screen Time. You can earn more time by doing exercises checked by your phone’s camera, which earn coins you can spend on minutes. Results depend on how you use it; we don’t promise any particular reduction in screen time or fitness result.
Who can use it
You must be 18 or older to use Locked Out or join the waitlist. You’re responsible for keeping your account secure and for activity on it. Give accurate information when you sign up.
Exercise safety
Locked Out is not medical advice. Exercise at your own pace and within your limits, make sure you have enough space, and stop if you feel pain, dizziness or discomfort. Talk to a doctor first if you have a health condition or injury, or are pregnant. You exercise at your own risk.
Screen Time and locks
Locks rely on Apple’s Screen Time, which we don’t control. Timing can be off by about a minute, and iOS updates or device settings can affect how locks behave. Don’t use Locked Out to block apps you may need in an emergency. If your plan ends, locks stop until you renew.
Coins, minutes and progress
- Coins and minutes are in-app points. They have no cash value and can’t be bought, sold, transferred or exchanged for money.
- We may adjust how many coins workouts earn, what time costs, levels and similar rules to keep the app fair and working well.
- Cheating (for example faking exercises or tampering with the app) can lead to progress being reset or removal from leagues.
Leagues and usernames
- The weekly leaderboard shows your username and the minutes you earned from workouts this week to other players in your league. It resets every Monday (India time).
- Pick a username that isn’t your real name if you prefer. Usernames must not be offensive, hateful, sexual, impersonate someone, or include contact details or links.
- Any player can report a username. We may hide or replace usernames that break these rules, remove players from leagues, or suspend accounts. We review reports and act on objectionable content within 24 hours where we can. Report a problem any time at support@lockedoutapp.site.
- We check that weekly minutes are realistic and may correct ones that aren’t.
Subscriptions, trials and Lifetime
- Locked Out needs a subscription or a one-time Lifetime purchase, bought through Apple. Prices are shown in the app before you buy and may differ by country.
- Free trials turn into a paid subscription unless cancelled at least 24 hours before they end. Subscriptions renew automatically until you cancel them in your Apple ID settings (Settings → your name → Subscriptions). Payment is charged to your Apple ID.
- Lifetime is a one-time payment for the Locked Out app for as long as we offer it. Buying Lifetime doesn’t cancel an existing subscription; cancel that yourself in Apple ID settings.
- Pre-orders are handled by the App Store. You can cancel a pre-order before release in your Apple ID settings.
- Refunds are handled by Apple under Apple’s policies. Any launch or founding price is described in the app at the time you buy.
Apple’s terms
The app is licensed to you under Apple’s Standard End User License Agreement together with these terms. Apple isn’t responsible for the app or its support; we are.
Waitlist invites
- After joining the waitlist you get a personal invite link. When 3 people join with your link, we’ll offer you early beta access (TestFlight) as places allow. When 5 join, you’ll be first in line for the founding-member offer when it opens.
- No purchase is needed. Only real, separate people with their own email addresses count. Fake, duplicate or automated signups don’t count, and we may remove them and withdraw rewards.
- Rewards have no cash value, can’t be transferred, and depend on the app being available in your country. Any founding-member offer is bought through Apple at the price shown in the app at the time. We may change or end the invite programme; rewards already earned will be honoured.
Emails
If you join the waitlist we’ll email you when Locked Out launches or opens for pre-order. If you tick “send me updates”, we’ll also send occasional product news. Every email has an unsubscribe link. Account emails (confirmation, password reset) are part of the service.
Our website and ads
Our website uses the Meta Pixel to measure our ads, as explained in our privacy policy; it only runs if you allow it, and you can change your choice with the Ad tracking link on our homepage. Features and prices shown in ads or on the website may change before or after launch; what the app shows when you buy applies.
Acceptable use
Don’t misuse the app or website: no reverse engineering, scraping, attacking our systems, harassing other users, or offensive usernames. We may suspend accounts that break these terms.
Your data
How we handle personal data is explained in our privacy policy. You can delete your account at any time from inside the app.
Beta versions
Test versions (for example through TestFlight) may be unfinished, may lose data, and may change without notice.
Disclaimers and liability
Locked Out is provided “as is”. To the extent the law allows, we aren’t liable for indirect or consequential losses, or for problems caused by Apple’s systems, your device, or how you exercise. Nothing here limits rights you have under Indian consumer protection law that can’t be limited.
Changes and ending
We may update these terms; we’ll change the date above and tell you in the app about important changes. You can stop using Locked Out at any time by deleting your account.
Law
These terms are governed by the laws of India. Courts in Delhi, India have jurisdiction, without limiting your right to approach consumer forums where you live.
