1.3 Modifications to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. We will provide at least 30 days' notice of material changes by posting updated Terms within the App or through other reasonable means. Your continued use of the App after such notice constitutes acceptance of the modified Terms.

2. Description of Service

2.1 Screen Time Management

Koala is a gamified screen time management application that helps users reduce phone usage through app blocking features, scheduled restrictions, and a reward system.

2.2 Core Features

The App utilizes Apple's Screen Time API to:

  • Block access to selected applications during scheduled periods
  • Display shields when blocked apps are accessed
  • Track usage patterns and progress
  • Provide a gamified reward system featuring eucalyptus leaves and a koala mascot

2.3 On-Device Processing

All blocking and restriction functionality occurs locally on your device. We do not remotely control your device or its settings.

2.4 No Account Creation

Koala does not require account creation. All app functionality operates independently on your device using anonymous user identifiers.

Subscriptions are billed through your Apple App Store account. Payment will be charged to your Apple ID upon confirmation of purchase (or after the free trial period ends, if applicable).

3.3 Auto-Renewal

Subscriptions automatically renew unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current subscription period. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period.
