Terms

The plain version.

Last updated: May 6, 2026

Read your pages, scroll your phone, pay your subscription if you choose to keep it past the trial. We’ll do our best not to break things.

What FirstPage does

FirstPage locks selected social media apps on your phone until you’ve completed a daily reading goal. You set the goal. You pick the apps. The mechanic is the product.

Your account

You need an email to use FirstPage. You’re responsible for keeping that email under your control. If someone else gets into your account, that’s on you — let us know and we’ll help you recover it.

Free trial and subscription

You get 7 days free to try the paid features. After that, the subscription auto-renews on the schedule you picked — monthly or yearly.

Payments go through the App Store or Google Play. To cancel, manage subscriptions in their respective settings — not in FirstPage. Refunds also go through them.

The free tier stays free, with the core mechanic and a small curated library.

Things you agree not to do

  • Reverse engineer the app, decompile it, or strip the lock mechanism.
  • Share your account with anyone else.
  • Use FirstPage in a way that breaks the law in your country.

These are the standard “don’t be a bad actor” rules. We mean them.

What we own / what you own

The FirstPage app, brand, mascot, and code are ours. The books in our curated library are public domain or licensed; the original authors and translators own those.

The content you create — saved quotes, reading notes — is yours. We don’t claim a license to it.

What we don't promise

FirstPage is provided as-is. We work hard to make it reliable, but we can’t guarantee:

  • That the lock mechanism is uncircumventable. Phones change, operating systems update, and some workarounds are outside our control.
  • That you’ll read more, finish more books, or change your habits. We built it to make that easier — the rest is up to you.
  • That the service will be uninterrupted. We’ll fix outages quickly; we can’t promise zero.

Limitation of liability

If something goes wrong, our maximum liability to you is whatever you’ve paid us in the last 12 months. We’re not liable for indirect damages — lost productivity, missed reading goals, and so on.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms occasionally. If anything material changes, we’ll notify you by email at least 30 days before the change takes effect.

Ending the relationship

You can stop using FirstPage and cancel your subscription anytime through the App Store or Google Play. We can suspend or end your account if you violate these terms — we’ll tell you why if we do.
