Terms of Use.

Hardmode: Daily Quotes for iOS — last updated 18 September 2026.

By downloading or using Hardmode, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the app.

1. What Hardmode is

Hardmode delivers quotes, affirmations and reminders to your iPhone Lock Screen and Home Screen, as widgets and local notifications. It is a motivational content app.

It is not medical, psychological, financial or legal advice. If you are struggling, please speak to a qualified professional. If you are in crisis, contact your local emergency services.

2. Licence

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use Hardmode on Apple devices you own or control, as permitted by the App Store Terms of Service. You may not copy, resell, sublicense, reverse engineer, or redistribute the app or its content, except as the law allows.

3. Content, quotations and attribution

Quotations attributed to real people are reproduced as text for informational and educational purposes. Scripture is quoted from the King James Version, which is in the public domain. Images are either generated, licensed for commercial use, or reproductions of public-domain works.

Attributions are researched but may be imperfect: quotations circulate widely and are often misattributed. If you spot an error, tell us at the address below and we will correct it.

Images you save from the app are for your personal use. You may not sell them, print them for sale, or redistribute them as your own.

4. Free use and Hardmode Pro

Hardmode is free to download and free to keep using. The free version includes daily quotes in the feed, the Lock Screen widget with the quote of the day, reminders, and one theme.

Hardmode Pro unlocks all categories and collections, all themes, your stats card and your streak.

5. Subscriptions and payment

Hardmode Pro is offered as an auto-renewable subscription and as a one-time lifetime purchase. The exact durations and prices are shown in the app before you buy, in your local currency, and may change over time or differ by region.

For auto-renewable subscriptions:

The lifetime purchase is a one-time payment with no renewal. “Lifetime” means for as long as Hardmode is published and operated by us.

6. Refunds

All purchases are made through Apple, so all refunds are handled by Apple under their policy. We cannot issue refunds ourselves. Request one at https://reportaproblem.apple.com

7. Promotional offers

We may present a discounted offer with a countdown. When we do, the countdown is real and the offer genuinely expires at the end of it. An offer presented as one-time is shown to you once and is not presented again.

8. Your data

Hardmode has no accounts. Your settings and history stay on your device. See the Privacy Policy at https://abakira.com/hardmode/privacy

9. Acceptable use

Do not use Hardmode unlawfully, do not attempt to break its protections, and do not use it to harass anyone. We may end your licence if you do.

10. No warranty, and limits of liability

Hardmode is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranty of any kind to the fullest extent permitted by law. We do not promise that it will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any particular quote will appear on any particular day.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability to you for any claim relating to the app is limited to the amount you paid us for it in the twelve months before the claim. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law.

11. Apple

These terms are between you and Abakira, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for Hardmode or its content, and has no obligation to provide support for it. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them against you.

12. Changes and termination

We may update these terms; the current version always lives at this address with its date. We may stop publishing the app, in which case it will remain installed on your device but may stop receiving updates.

13. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New Mexico, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules and without prejudice to the mandatory consumer protections of your country of residence.
