Agreement
These terms apply to the Locked In app (listed on the App Store as “Locked In: Focus Buddy”) and this website, both provided by Sankritya Thakur (“we”). By downloading or using the app, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the app.
Licence
The app is licensed to you, not sold. Your use of it is governed by Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement (the standard EULA), together with these terms. You may use the app on Apple devices you own or control, as allowed by the App Store's usage rules.
What the app does
Locked In is a focus timer. It counts time while the app is in front, pauses when you leave, and resumes only when you choose to. It can also send reminders and, if you opt in, shield apps you select using Screen Time.
Using it sensibly
- The app is a tool to help you focus. We do not promise any particular result, such as grades, exam outcomes or productivity.
- The timer depends on how iOS and macOS report the app's state, so it may occasionally pause or keep counting when you would not expect it to. Do not rely on it for anything where exact timing matters.
- If you turn on app blocking, the apps you choose stay shielded during a session, including if you close Locked In. Open Locked In and end the session to release them. Do not block apps you may need in an emergency.
- Take real breaks. Long focus sessions are your choice and your responsibility.
Acceptable use
Do not copy, modify, reverse engineer or redistribute the app except where the law allows it, and do not use it in any way that breaks the law or Apple's terms.
Ownership
The app, the Latch character, the artwork and the name are owned by Sankritya Thakur. These terms do not give you any rights to them beyond using the app.
Privacy
The app collects no personal data. See the Privacy Policy.
Price and changes to the app
Any price is shown on the App Store before you download, and purchases and refunds are handled by Apple under its terms. We may update, change or stop offering the app at any time.
No warranty
The app is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, to the fullest extent the law allows. We do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted or free of errors.
Limit of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental or consequential loss arising from your use of the app, and our total liability is limited to the amount you paid for it. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under consumer protection law that cannot be waived.
Apple
These terms are between you and us, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for the app or its content and has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for it. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Arizona, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, and subject to any mandatory rights you have where you live.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. The effective date above shows when they last changed. Continuing to use the app after a change means you accept the updated terms.
