Answers to the most common questions and a direct line to us.
1. Contact
We're happy to help. Write to hello@fade.de; we usually reply within one or two working days. Your device, iOS or Android version and a short description help, ideally with a screenshot.
2. Cancel or change your subscription
iPhone Settings → your name → Subscriptions → Frictio. Android: Google Play → profile picture → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions → Frictio. Or in Frictio under Settings → Your subscription. Deleting the app does not end a subscription.
3. Restore purchases
New device? Sign in with the same account. If Pro is still missing, tap “Restore” on the paywall.
4. Refunds
All purchases run through Apple or Google Play. Request a refund at reportaproblem.apple.com (iPhone) or in Google Play under Payments & subscriptions → Budget & history (Android).
5. The lock doesn't kick in
Check that Frictio has Screen Time permission (iOS Settings → Screen Time), that apps are selected and that the lock is running on the home screen. iOS sometimes reports the reached limit a few minutes late. You don't need to select Frictio itself; it is never locked.
Android: Frictio needs usage access and its accessibility service (Settings → Accessibility → Frictio lock). On Xiaomi, also allow autostart and “Display pop-up windows while running in the background” for Frictio.
6. The camera doesn't count
Allow the camera under iOS Settings → Frictio → Camera (Android: Settings → Apps → Frictio → Permissions → Camera). Place the phone so your whole body is in frame and make sure there's some light. If needed, you can count by hand in the task.
7. Delete your account and data
In Frictio under Settings → Delete account. Details in the privacy policy.
No longer have the app? Email hello@fade.de from the address of your account with the subject “Delete my account”; we delete it within 30 days and confirm by email.
