What Aikani is

Aikani lets you block apps on your own phone for a time you choose. A person you trust, your Kani, can approve early access to one app at a time.

Aikani is provided by legal name. By using it you agree to these terms.

Who can use it

Aikani is for adults, on their own phone. Minimum age: to be confirmed. One account is active on one phone at a time.

Sessions

Once a session starts, its length and its apps are fixed. You cannot shorten, cancel or edit it. This is how Aikani is meant to work.

Choose your apps with care. Don't block an app you may need in an emergency.

Your Kani

You choose your Kani, and they choose whether to accept. A Kani can decline any request and can stop being your Kani at any time. If they do, the session they support ends once your phone receives the change.

Your Kani's decisions are their own. Aikani is not responsible for them.

Emergency unlocks

Every account has three emergency unlocks per calendar month, on any plan. Each one opens a single app until the session ends. Extra emergency unlocks are not sold.

Plans and payment

Free protects one app. Premium protects up to three and is a monthly or annual subscription bought through the App Store or Google Play. It costs €5.99 a month or €39.99 a year, and the annual plan starts with 7 days free the first time you subscribe. Your store shows the price in your currency.

Subscriptions renew automatically until you cancel. You manage and cancel them in your App Store or Google Play account. Refunds are handled by the store you bought from.

If your subscription ends during a session, that session finishes normally.

Fair use

• Use Aikani for your own phone and your own time. Don't use it to monitor or control someone else.
• Don't pressure anyone into being your Kani or into approving a request.
• Don't tamper with the app or the service, or try to get around its limits.

What Aikani can and can't promise

Blocking relies on your phone's own controls: Screen Time on iPhone and system permissions on Android. If a permission is turned off, or the system changes how it works, protection can be interrupted. Aikani will show you when that happens.

Aikani is a tool for managing your time. It is not medical or psychological treatment, and it is not an emergency or safety service.

Ending your account

You can delete your account in the app at any time. We may suspend an account that breaks these terms.

Liability and law

Liability limits, governing law and where disputes are handled: to be written with legal advice for the country Aikani is run from.

Changes and contact

If these terms change in a way that matters, we will say so in the app first. Questions go to contact email.
