Terms of Service
Last updated: 27 June 2026
The short version
Shinken is a focus timer. You get an account so your history follows you across devices.
Shinken Plus is a one-time purchase that unlocks history and goals. Be reasonable, don't
abuse the service, and we'll both be fine.
Using Shinken
By downloading or using Shinken (the "app"), you agree to these terms. If you don't agree
with them, please don't use the app. The app is provided by an independent developer
("we" / "us"), contact hello@shinkenfocus.app.
Your account
-
You can use the app without an account, but syncing across devices, unlocking Shinken
Plus, and viewing history require one.
-
You are responsible for keeping your login credentials safe. If you suspect your account
has been compromised, contact us and change your password.
-
You can delete your account at any time from the Account tab. Deletion is immediate and
irreversible.
Shinken Plus
-
Shinken Plus is a one-time in-app purchase (€4.99) that unlocks features described in the
app: focus history, per-topic breakdowns, session goals, and the accomplishment log.
-
The purchase is processed by Apple (App Store) or Google (Play Store) and is subject to
their refund policies.
-
Once purchased, Shinken Plus follows your account across devices. It does not renew and
does not expire.
Acceptable use
Don't do any of the following while using Shinken:
- Attempt to reverse-engineer, tamper with, or exploit the service.
- Use the service to store or transmit unlawful, harmful, or infringing content.
- Automate account creation or use the service in bulk without permission.
- Interfere with other users' access.
We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms. We'll try to give you notice
first when it's reasonable to do so.
The service, as-is
Shinken is provided as-is. We do our best to keep it working, but we don't guarantee
uninterrupted service, absence of bugs, or a specific feature set into the future. We
may change or discontinue parts of the app.
Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we're not liable for indirect, incidental, or
consequential damages arising from your use of Shinken. Our total liability for any claim
related to the app is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim,
which for most users is either €4.99 (Plus) or €0 (free tier).
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the Netherlands, without regard to conflict-of-law
rules. Disputes will be resolved in the courts of the Netherlands.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms occasionally. Material changes will be communicated in-app and
noted here ("Last updated"). Continued use of the app after changes means you accept them.
