Terms of Use

Agreement

These Terms govern your use of the Sagat app and this website. By downloading, installing or using Sagat you agree to them. If you don’t agree, please don’t use it. “We” means Dostan Turlybek, the developer of Sagat.

Sagat is licensed to you, not sold. Apple’s Licensed Application End User License Agreement (the “Standard EULA”) also applies to your use of the app. These Terms add to it; if they conflict, the Standard EULA prevails.

What Sagat is

Sagat is a focus timer that keeps a record of your time as Work, Break, Free Time and Time Debt. The record is bookkeeping, not a verdict: Free Time and Time Debt are tools for reflecting on your day, they have no monetary value, and nothing in Sagat measures your worth or performance.

Sagat is for personal use. It is not professional advice, and it is not a medical device — it doesn’t diagnose, treat or prevent anything.

Your license

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use Sagat on Apple devices that you own or control, as allowed by the Usage Rules in Apple’s App Store terms.

You agree not to:

• copy, modify, sell, rent or distribute Sagat;
• reverse-engineer, decompile or try to extract its source code, except where the law allows it despite this restriction;
• remove or hide notices in the app;
• use Sagat to break the law or another person’s rights;
• interfere with the app, its purchases or the services it relies on — for example, by trying to get around Pro or its checks.

Sagat Pro

Sagat is free to use. Sagat Pro is an optional upgrade sold as an in-app purchase through the App Store. What it includes — currently App blocking, the weekly digest, Free Time on the widget and the day-plan reminder — is described in the app and on our website, and may change over time.

Subscriptions

• Where Pro is offered as a subscription, the price and the length of each period are shown before you buy.
• Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase.
• The subscription renews automatically unless you cancel it at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period.
• You can manage or cancel a subscription in your Apple ID account settings after purchase (Settings → your name → Subscriptions). Cancelling stops future renewals; you keep Pro until the end of the period you’ve paid for.
• Where a free trial is offered, any unused part of it is forfeited when you purchase a subscription to that product.

One-time purchases

Where Pro is offered as a one-time purchase, you pay once and Pro stays unlocked for as long as Sagat is available to you. You can restore it on your other devices signed in with the same Apple ID by using Restore in the app.

Prices, taxes and refunds

Prices vary by country and include applicable taxes where the App Store shows them that way. Apple handles payment and refunds; we can’t refund an App Store purchase ourselves. To ask for a refund, use Apple’s Report a Problem page.

App blocking

App blocking uses Apple’s Screen Time technology. You choose what to block and you must give permission first. iOS applies the block, and you can turn it off at any time in Settings → Screen Time.

It is an aid, not a lock. Sagat turns the block on while Work is running or paused and off when Work ends. As a safety net, Sagat also arranges for the block to be lifted automatically after a few hours in case the app can’t do it itself — for example, if it was force-quit. We can’t promise that a block will be applied or lifted at an exact moment, because that depends on iOS.

Don’t rely on App blocking for safety, for parental control, or in any situation where being unable to open an app — or being able to — could cause harm. Always keep a way to reach emergency services and the people you need.

Your data

Your sessions, projects and settings are yours. They stay on your device — see the Privacy Policy. Sagat keeps no cloud copy, so if you delete the app or lose your device without a backup, we can’t recover them. Back up your iPhone if you want to keep your history.

Third-party services

Sagat relies on services we don’t control: Apple’s App Store; iOS features such as Screen Time, notifications, Live Activities, widgets and Shortcuts; and RevenueCat for purchases. Their availability and terms are their own, and they can change how they work. We’re not responsible for them.

Changes to Sagat

We may add, change or remove features, and update or discontinue the app, at any time. Where a change significantly affects something you’ve paid for, we’ll do what is reasonable to tell you in advance.

No warranty

To the extent the law allows, Sagat is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

We don’t promise that Sagat will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that timers, alerts, Live Activities, widgets or blocks will always appear or fire on time — they depend on iOS, your settings, Low Power Mode, Focus and your notification permissions. Don’t rely on Sagat for anything time-critical or safety-critical, such as medication, transport or emergencies.

Limits on liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, savings, data or opportunities, arising from your use of Sagat. Our total liability for any claim relating to Sagat is limited to the amount you paid for Sagat through the App Store in the twelve months before the claim, or USD 50 if you paid nothing.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability that can’t be limited by law — including for fraud, or for death or personal injury caused by negligence — or the mandatory consumer rights you have in the country where you live.

Apple

These Terms are between you and us, not Apple. Apple isn’t responsible for Sagat or its content, and has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for it. The Standard EULA sets out Apple’s role, including its limited warranty obligation and its rights as a third-party beneficiary.

Ending, law and updates

Ending

You can stop at any time by deleting Sagat — cancel any subscription separately in your Apple ID settings. We may suspend or end your access if you seriously breach these Terms. Sections that by their nature should survive ending will.

Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the country where we, the developer, are established, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. If you are a consumer, you also keep the protection of the mandatory laws of your country of residence, and you may bring a claim in the courts there.

Updates to these Terms

We may update these Terms. We’ll change the date at the top, and if a change is significant we’ll say so in the app or on this page. If you keep using Sagat after an update, you accept the new Terms.
