30 days of full premium on first install. No credit card. No nag screens. Start the moment you open the app, ends 30 days later.

The Open Heart free trial is a 30-day period where every premium feature is available. We don't ask for payment info to start. We don't bury the cancel option.

How it starts

The trial starts on first launch of the app. There's no tap required to "start" — it begins when the app opens for the first time.

How long it lasts

30 days from the start
The countdown is shown in Settings → Premium ("23 days left")
We send three reminders: at day 15 ("halfway through"), day 23 ("7 days left"), and day 29 ("last day tomorrow"). All three are toggleable in Settings → Notifications.

Why 30 days

Most app trials are 3-7 days. We pick 30 because:

Open Heart is a weekly cycle. A 7-day trial means you see one check-in. Not enough to know if it fits.
Habits form over 4-6 weeks. Asking you to commit before you've built the habit is asking you to predict the future.
Industry research backs longer trials: people on 17-32 day trials commit at almost double the rate of people on shorter ones.

What unlocks during the trial

Everything. Every feature gated behind premium:

Couples mode (pairing)
AI conversation starters
AI coaching responses
Weekly insights
Monthly reflections
Therapist export
Repair check-ins
Custom check-in day

What happens at day 30

Premium features turn off. Solo journaling, feeling tracking, crisis resources, biometric lock, recovery phrase, and data export keep working.
Your data stays. Existing entries don't disappear. Pairings don't break. You just lose access to the premium features until you subscribe.
One reminder lands: "Trial ended — solo journaling is still free. Upgrade anytime for the full experience."

We don't auto-charge. We don't have your payment details.

Restoring the trial

If you uninstall and reinstall on the same phone, the trial resets — the start date lives on the device.

If you sign in with a recovery phrase on a new phone, the trial on that phone is independent. (Trial is per phone, not per recovery key.)

Subscribing during the trial

You can subscribe any time during the trial. The subscription kicks in immediately and the trial ends. You won't be charged twice — Apple and Google handle the proration on their end.

Subscribing after the trial

Same flow. Tap any locked feature → choose plan → confirm.
