zipt terms of use
What zipt is
zipt is a self-imposed phone lock. You choose a block of time, or a daily schedule, and during it only the apps you allowed stay reachable. Calls always work. Once a block starts it runs to its time, unless you chose a way out between blocks: a wait that grows each time you use it, or codes from a person you trust. Installing and setting it up is your decision, made for yourself, on your own phone.
What zipt is not
- Not parental control, employee monitoring, or a tool for restricting someone else's phone. It must only be set up by the person who owns and uses the phone, for themselves.
- Not a security product. It does not protect the phone, its data, or its accounts from anyone.
- Not medical, psychological or health advice or treatment.
- Not unbreakable, and it never says it is. See "What it cannot promise".
Your side
- You are at least 18, or the age of majority where you live.
- You set zipt up only on a phone you own and use yourself, and you choose the person who holds your codes yourself.
- You keep emergency access in mind: calls work during a block, but anything else you may need urgently (a bank app, a transport ticket, a medicine reminder) should be on your allowed list before you start.
- You do not use zipt to coerce, surveil or restrict another person.
What it cannot promise
Android lets the phone's owner switch any app off. Restarting in safe mode, using a second user profile, force-stopping the app, or turning off its accessibility service will end a block. zipt records what it can see of those events so you and the person holding your codes can talk about them. It does not prevent them, and it must not be relied on as if it did. Phone makers also change how background apps behave with every release; a block can start or end late on some phones, and the app tells you where it knows about this.
Some apps, including some banking apps, refuse to open while any third-party accessibility service is switched on, whichever app owns it. zipt cannot change what those apps check. The app and the guide say what you can do about it.
Price and account
zipt is free. There is no account, no sign-in, no subscription, no advertising, and no purchase inside the app. If that ever changes, this page will change first and you will be told inside the app before anything is asked of you.
Data
zipt collects nothing and has no permission to use the network. What stays on your phone and what each permission can see is in the privacy policy, which is part of these terms.
Liability
zipt is provided as it is, without warranty of any kind. To the extent the law where you live allows, Radheya is not liable for any loss arising from using zipt or from being unable to use your phone during a block you started, including a missed call that did not reach the dialer, a missed payment, or anything a block prevented you from doing. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
Open source and third parties
zipt's source is private. The app bundles no third-party service, SDK that phones home, or analytics. The website uses the three.js library for its illustration, served from this site's own origin.
Changes and ending
These terms may change when the app changes; the date at the top says when. You can stop using zipt at any time by uninstalling it, which deletes everything it stored. If the uninstall guard is on, Android asks you to switch it off first; that is the only step.
Law
These terms are governed by the laws of India. Courts in Hyderabad, Telangana have jurisdiction, without taking away any protection the consumer law where you live gives you.
