By downloading, installing, or using Readgate, including any pre-release or beta distribution we make available, you agree to these Terms of Service.
Readgate is an iPhone app that uses Apple's Family Controls frameworks to gate selected apps behind a short reading challenge and then unlock them for a limited break. Readgate is available in a free tier and as a paid Pro subscription.
You must be at least 13 years old to use Readgate. By using the app, you confirm that you meet this age requirement.
We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use Readgate on your personal Apple device for personal, non-commercial purposes.
Your use of Readgate is also subject to Apple's standard terms for apps distributed through the App Store. If these Terms conflict with mandatory App Store terms, the mandatory App Store terms control.
Readgate is free to download and use with the following limitations on the free tier:
Readgate Pro is an auto-renewable subscription that adds:

No partial refunds are issued for unused portions of a subscription period. If you cancel during a billing period, you retain access to Pro features until the period ends.
Readgate requires authorization to use Apple's Family Controls frameworks. By granting this permission, you allow the app to block and unblock selected apps on your device according to your configured settings. You can revoke this permission in the app or in iOS Settings at any time.
