Terms & Conditions

Last updated: 29 October 2026

1. About Blocks and Kove

Blocks is a planning, focus and habit app for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch, including its widgets, Live Activities, Siri and Shortcuts actions and other extensions (together, "Blocks" or "the app"). Blocks is developed and published by Kove, an independent software studio based in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India ("Kove", "we", "us" or "our").

2. Accepting these Terms

By downloading, installing or using Blocks, you agree to these Terms & Conditions ("Terms") and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use Blocks.

These Terms apply alongside Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement (the "Standard EULA"). Where these Terms and the Standard EULA conflict on the licence to use the app, the Standard EULA applies unless these Terms give you more rights.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old, or the minimum age required in your country, to use Blocks. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use Blocks only with the involvement and consent of a parent or guardian, who agrees to these Terms on your behalf and is responsible for any purchases.

You must not use Blocks where it would break the law that applies to you, or if you are barred from receiving software under applicable law, including export control and sanctions laws.

4. Your licence to use Blocks

Subject to these Terms, Kove grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use Blocks on Apple-branded devices that you own or control, as permitted by the App Store's Usage Rules, including Family Sharing where it is available.

You may not, except where the law expressly allows it despite this restriction:

• copy, modify, translate or create derivative works of Blocks;
• reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble Blocks, or try to obtain its source code;
• remove, bypass or interfere with any licensing, purchase or free-use limits, including by manipulating stored values or the device clock to obtain Pro features without paying;
• rent, lease, lend, sell, sublicense or redistribute Blocks; or
• use Blocks to build a competing product, or copy its design, artwork or text.

5. The free plan and Blocks Pro

Blocks is free to download and use. The free plan currently includes the core planner, Focus with its built-in modes and soundscapes, the Upcoming timeline, smart lists, reminders, widgets, the Apple Watch and Mac apps, iCloud sync, and XP, levels and achievements. It has some limits, which currently are:

• up to 10 blocks per day;
• up to 3 habits and 3 lists;
• 1 custom focus mode;
• 3 free tries each of Plan my day, Break down and the written weekly review;
• 1 streak freeze per month; and
• three of the five themes.

Blocks Pro removes these limits and currently adds unlimited blocks, habits, lists and custom focus modes; unlimited Plan my day, Plan my week and Break down; Insights and the weekly review; 3 streak freezes per month; and every theme. The exact features of the free plan and Pro are shown in the app, and the app is the authoritative description. We may adjust features and limits over time, as described in Section 17. We will not take away a feature you have already paid for during a paid period without offering a fair alternative or remedy.

Free tries are counted per Apple Account and are kept across reinstalls and devices. They have no cash value.

6. Subscriptions, trials and lifetime

Purchase options

Blocks Pro is available as:

• Monthly: an auto-renewable subscription billed every month;
• Annual: an auto-renewable subscription billed every year; or
• Lifetime: a one-time, non-consumable purchase that unlocks Pro for as long as Blocks is offered and supported, on the Apple Account used to buy it.

Prices are shown in the app before you buy, in your local currency, including any applicable taxes. Prices may differ between countries and may change. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase.

Auto-renewal

Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each period at the then-current price, unless you turn off auto-renewal at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your Apple Account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the current period ends. If we change a subscription's price, Apple will notify you in advance and, where required, ask for your consent before the new price applies.

Free trial

The annual plan may include a free trial (currently 7 days) for eligible new subscribers. Eligibility is determined by Apple, and a free trial is generally available only once per Apple Account per subscription group. Unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends, the annual subscription begins and you are charged the annual price when the trial ends. If you buy a different Pro option during a trial, any unused part of the trial may be forfeited, where applicable.

Family Sharing

Where Family Sharing is enabled for a Blocks Pro product, eligible members of your Family Sharing group may also be able to use it, as set out in Apple's terms.

7. Cancellation and refunds

You can manage or cancel a subscription at any time in Settings > [your name] > Subscriptions on your device, or in your Apple Account settings. Cancelling stops future renewals. You keep Pro until the end of the period you have already paid for. Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription.

All payments are processed by Apple, and Kove cannot issue refunds directly. To request a refund, visit reportaproblem.apple.com. Refunds are at Apple's discretion and subject to Apple's policies and the consumer laws that apply to you.

If you reinstall Blocks or move to a new device, use Restore Purchases in Settings or on the Pro screen to restore Pro, using the same Apple Account.

8. Apple and the App Store

You acknowledge that these Terms are between you and Kove only, not with Apple Inc. ("Apple"), and that:

• Kove, not Apple, is solely responsible for Blocks and its content.
• Apple has no obligation to provide any maintenance or support for Blocks.
• If Blocks fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price, if any. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to Blocks.
• Kove, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to Blocks or your possession or use of it, including product liability claims, claims that Blocks fails to conform to any legal or regulatory requirement, and claims under consumer protection, privacy or similar laws.
• If a third party claims that Blocks or your possession and use of it infringes that party's intellectual property rights, Kove, not Apple, is solely responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement and discharge of that claim.
• You must comply with any applicable third-party terms when using Blocks.
• Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms. Once you accept these Terms, Apple has the right, and is deemed to have accepted the right, to enforce them against you as a third-party beneficiary.

9. Your content and data

Everything you create in Blocks (blocks, notes, steps, lists, habits, plans and focus history) is your content. You own it, and Kove claims no rights over it. Because your content is stored on your devices and in your own iCloud, Kove does not host it and cannot access, recover or restore it.

You are responsible for your content and for keeping backups. iCloud sync and device backups are provided by Apple and are subject to Apple's terms. Kove is not responsible for data loss caused by deleting the app, turning off iCloud, signing out of iCloud, device loss or failure, iCloud outages or storage limits, or using Blocks on devices signed in to different Apple Accounts.

How data is handled is explained in our Privacy Policy.

10. Planning suggestions

Plan my day, Plan my week, Break down and the weekly review create suggestions automatically, using Apple's on-device language model where available or Blocks' own on-device planner. Suggestions may be inaccurate, incomplete or unsuitable for your situation. They might, for example, misread a time, overlap with an event or miss something you asked for. You are responsible for reviewing every suggestion before adding it to your day and for the decisions you make. Suggestions are not professional, medical, legal, financial or other advice.

Whether the on-device model is available depends on your device, region, language and settings, which Apple controls. We cannot guarantee that it is available on any particular device.

11. Reminders, alarms and notifications

Blocks schedules reminders, alarms and notifications using your device's system services. Delivery depends on your device, operating system, settings (such as Focus modes, notification permissions, Low Power Mode and Do Not Disturb), battery and other factors outside our control. Reminders may be delayed or may not appear. Do not rely on Blocks for anything time-critical or safety-critical, such as taking medication, caring for others, travel connections, legal or financial deadlines, or emergencies.

12. Productivity and wellbeing

Blocks is designed to help you plan your time, focus and build habits. It does not provide medical, psychological or professional advice, and it does not diagnose or treat any condition. Features such as focus timers, streaks and daily goals are motivational tools. Please take breaks, look after your health and seek professional help if you need it. Results depend on many factors, and Kove does not promise any particular outcome from using Blocks.

13. XP, levels, streaks and rewards

XP, levels, achievements, streaks, streak freezes and similar rewards are features for motivation only. They have no monetary value, cannot be bought, sold, transferred or exchanged for money or anything else, and are not property. We may rebalance how rewards are earned or displayed to keep the app fair and enjoyable.

14. Acceptable use

You agree not to use Blocks to:

• break any law or regulation, or infringe the rights of others;
• interfere with or disrupt the app, Apple's services or other users;
• attempt to gain unauthorised access to any system or data; or
• introduce malware or harmful code, or use automated means to access Blocks in ways it is not designed for.

15. Intellectual property and feedback

Blocks, including its software, design, interface, artwork, icons, animations, soundscapes, text and the "Blocks" name and logo, is owned by Kove or its licensors and protected by intellectual property laws. Except for the limited licence in Section 4, these Terms give you no rights in it.

If you send us ideas, suggestions or feedback, you agree that we may use them freely, without any obligation or payment to you. We will not identify you publicly without your permission.

16. Third-party services

Blocks works with services provided by Apple, including iCloud, Calendar, Siri and Shortcuts, Apple Intelligence, the App Store, StoreKit, notifications and AlarmKit. These are governed by Apple's own terms and privacy policy, and Kove is not responsible for their availability or behaviour. Links you add to blocks may open third-party websites or apps, and Kove is not responsible for their content or practices.

17. Changes to the app

We continually improve Blocks. We may add, change or remove features, adjust the free plan's limits, or change what is included in Blocks Pro. Some features may require a recent version of iOS, iPadOS, macOS or watchOS, or specific hardware. We aim to give reasonable notice of significant changes in the app or in release notes. We may also stop offering Blocks altogether. If we do, we will try to give reasonable notice. Your content remains on your devices and in your iCloud, and nothing in this Section limits your statutory rights.

18. Disclaimer of warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Blocks is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied or statutory, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement and accuracy. Kove does not warrant that Blocks will be uninterrupted, error-free or secure, that reminders will always be delivered, that suggestions will be accurate, or that your data will never be lost.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranties to be excluded, so some of these exclusions may not apply to you.

19. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Kove and its owners, employees and contractors will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits, revenue, goodwill or opportunity, or for missed appointments, deadlines or reminders, arising from or relating to your use of, or inability to use, Blocks, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Kove's total liability for all claims relating to Blocks is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid for Blocks Pro in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) USD 50 (or its equivalent in your local currency).

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

20. Indemnity

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Kove from any claims, losses and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your breach of these Terms or your misuse of Blocks. This Section does not apply to consumers where local law prohibits it.

21. Termination

You may stop using Blocks at any time by deleting it from your devices. Remember to cancel any subscription separately, as described in Section 7. Kove may suspend or end your licence if you materially breach these Terms. On termination, the licence in Section 4 ends. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 9, 13, 15 and 18 to 25) will survive.

22. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of India, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Subject to Section 23, the courts of Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from these Terms or your use of Blocks.

Before starting any formal proceedings, please contact us at hello@trainritual.com so we can try to resolve the issue informally. Most concerns can be settled quickly this way.

23. Consumer rights

If you are a consumer, nothing in these Terms affects the rights you have under the mandatory consumer protection laws of the country where you live, which cannot be waived by contract. This includes rights in the European Union, the United Kingdom, Australia and elsewhere. If you live in the EU or UK, you may also bring proceedings in the courts of your country of residence. Where these Terms conflict with such mandatory rights, those rights prevail.

24. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time, for example to reflect changes to Blocks, our pricing or the law. The "Last updated" date at the top shows the current version. If a change is material, we will give notice in the app or in release notes before it takes effect. If you keep using Blocks after the changes take effect, you accept the updated Terms. If you do not agree, stop using Blocks and cancel any subscription.

25. General

• Entire agreement: these Terms, the Privacy Policy and, where applicable, Apple's Standard EULA are the entire agreement between you and Kove about Blocks.
• Severability: if any provision is found unenforceable, it will be changed only as much as needed to make it enforceable, and the rest of these Terms will remain in effect.
• No waiver: if we do not enforce a provision, that does not waive our right to enforce it later.
• Assignment: you may not transfer your rights under these Terms. Kove may transfer its rights and obligations to another entity, for example as part of a business transfer, provided your rights are not reduced.
• Force majeure: Kove is not responsible for delays or failures caused by events beyond its reasonable control.
• Language: these Terms are written in English. Any translation is for convenience, and the English version prevails to the extent permitted by law.
