Terms of Use

Last updated November 8, 2026

Agreement

Rocus is provided by Kudaibergen Abutalip (“we”, “us”). Your use of the Rocus app (the “App”) is governed by Apple’s Licensed Application End User License Agreement (the “EULA”), which sets out your licence to the App and the law that applies. These Terms add a few points specific to Rocus. If they conflict with the EULA, the EULA wins.

By using the App you agree to the EULA, these Terms and our Privacy Policy.

What Rocus does

Rocus blocks the apps, categories and websites you pick, on rules you set: always, on a schedule, or after a daily time limit. When you open a blocked app, a shield asks you to choose your intention or to scroll. Choosing to scroll opens the app for 15 minutes, unless you have set an open limit, a hard block or a focus session, which can remove that option.

Subscriptions and free trials

Rocus needs a Rocus Pro subscription, sold through the Apple App Store.

  • The App Store shows the plan, its length and its price before you confirm.
  • Payment is charged to your Apple ID when you confirm the purchase.
  • The subscription renews automatically for the same length and price unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
  • If a plan includes a free trial, you are charged when the trial ends unless you cancel at least 24 hours before. Apple gives a free trial once per Apple ID.
  • Manage or cancel in your Apple ID subscription settings. You keep Pro until the end of the period you paid for.
  • Without an active subscription, Rocus lifts its shields and the App asks you to subscribe. Your profiles stay saved and return when you subscribe again.

Refunds

Apple handles all payments and refunds for App Store purchases; we cannot issue them. Request one at reportaproblem.apple.com.

The limits of blocking

Rocus works through Apple’s Screen Time APIs, which Apple controls. A shield can be delayed or lifted by iOS, for example after a restart or an iOS update, or if Screen Time permission is turned off. You can always remove a block by changing it in Rocus, turning off the permission, or deleting the App.

Rocus is a tool for your own habits. It is not a parental control, a security product, or a way to restrict someone else’s device, and we do not promise any particular reduction in screen time.

Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  • use Rocus for anything unlawful;
  • copy, modify, reverse engineer or resell the App, except where the law allows it;
  • interfere with the App, the Site or our systems;
  • get around the App Store’s payment system; or
  • use the App to monitor or control another person without their consent.

Not medical advice

Rocus is a wellness tool, not a medical device, therapy or medical advice. It does not diagnose or treat any condition, including addiction, anxiety, depression or attention disorders. If you need help, talk to a qualified professional. In an emergency, contact your local emergency services; in the United States you can call or text 988.

Liability

The App’s warranty and limitation of liability are those in the EULA. Nothing in these Terms limits rights you have under the consumer law of your country that cannot be waived.

Changes

We may update the App and these Terms. We will post changes on this page with a new date, and tell you in the App about changes that matter. If you do not agree, stop using the App and cancel your subscription.
