How the trial works
The promises
If any of these stops being true, it is a bug, and I will fix it.
Cancel in one tap
Cancel in your Apple Account subscriptions, any time. No retention maze built to wear you down. You keep Premium until the period ends.
Billing goes through Apple
Mote never sees your card. Payment, renewals, cancellation, and refunds are handled by Apple. Refunds go through reportaproblem.apple.com.
Your Screen Time data stays on your phone
The apps you guard, and how you use them, stay on your device. I never see it. No tracking, no selling. See the Privacy Policy.
Honest about the limits
Mote is iPhone only, iOS 26+. A determined person can always turn a shield off. I will not claim it cannot be bypassed, because that would not be true.
- 100% on-device
- No tracking
- One-tap cancel
- No streaks, no shame
I left out streaks, spins, and collectibles, even though they would make me more money, because they would just trade your old compulsion for a new one. Mote gives your attention back. It does not capture it.
