These terms are the agreement between you and the developer of Biblically. They cover what the app is, what you can expect from it, and what you agree to when you use it. The most important thing in here is short: what you write in Biblically stays yours. We do not sell it, license it, or train anything on it.
By creating an account or using the Biblically app or the biblically.app website (together, the "App"), you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the App. Your data is covered separately by our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these terms.
Biblically is for devotional and informational use only. It does not provide medical, psychological, legal, or pastoral counselling, and the daily check-in is not a clinical assessment. If you are experiencing distress, a mental health concern, or any serious difficulty, please reach out to a qualified counsellor, licensed medical professional, or trusted pastoral caregiver. In an emergency, contact your local emergency services immediately — 911 in the United States, 112 across Europe.
Biblically is a Bible reading and prayer app for iPhone. It lets you:
Some features require a paid subscription. Which ones may change as the App develops.
You sign in with Apple or Google; we never see or store a password. You are responsible for keeping access to your device and your sign-in account secure, and for activity that happens under your account.
You can delete your account at any time from Me → Account → Delete account in the App. Deletion is immediate and permanent — see the Privacy Policy for exactly what is removed.
Biblically is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly provide it to them. If you are under the age at which you can consent to data processing where you live — 13 to 16 depending on the country, in the European Union — please use the App only with the permission of a parent or guardian, who is then responsible for your use of it under these terms.
Your prayer journal entries, notes, highlights, bookmarks, favourites and check-in answers are yours. You keep all rights to them.
You give us only the narrow permission needed to run the App for you: to store your content, sync it between your own devices, and display it back to you. That permission exists solely to operate the App, it is not exclusive, and it ends when you delete the content or your account.
We do not sell, license, rent, or share your content with anyone. We do not use it to train artificial intelligence models, and we do not permit anyone else to. No part of your journal is read by us in the ordinary course of running the App.
You are responsible for what you put into the App, and you agree not to store content you do not have the right to store, or content that is unlawful.
The Bible text is the World English Bible, which is in the public domain. Chapter text is served from our own copy of it.
The passage explanations are produced by a third-party AI model. They can be wrong. They are a study aid, not authoritative teaching, and they are not a substitute for Scripture itself, for your own reading, or for guidance from your church. Do not rely on them for anything important. Only the passage text and its reference are sent to the model — never anything identifying you.
Daily Focus uses Apple's Screen Time framework to shield apps you choose until you have met the daily requirement you picked. It is a tool for your own discipline, not a security control: it can be turned off at any time from within the App or in your device settings, and it is not designed to restrain anyone against their will. Because of how Apple's framework works, the App cannot see which apps you selected.
Subscriptions are sold through the Apple App Store and billed to your Apple account. The price and the billing period are shown to you before you confirm, and the App Store is where the purchase actually happens — we never see your payment details.
Where the law gives you a right to withdraw from a purchase, that right applies and is exercised through Apple.
We may suspend or end your access if you seriously or repeatedly breach these terms, or where we must to comply with the law. Where it is reasonable to do so, we will tell you why.
We may change, add, or remove features, and we may stop offering the App. If a change materially reduces what a paid subscription gives you, we will tell you in the App before it takes effect, and you can cancel. If we discontinue the App entirely while you hold a paid subscription, your remedy is a refund of the unused portion, obtained through Apple.
We may update these terms. If a change is significant, we will give notice in the App at least 30 days before it takes effect. Continuing to use the App after that means you accept the updated terms.
Biblically is made and operated by Yun Gu Ko, an individual developer based in British Columbia, Canada. There is no company behind it. In these terms, "we" and "us" mean that individual.
Contact: hello.biblically@gmail.com
These terms are between you and Yun Gu Ko only — not with Apple. Apple is not responsible for the App or its content.
Apple has no obligation to provide any maintenance or support for the App. If the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund your purchase price for the App; to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation whatsoever.
Apple is not responsible for addressing any claim you or a third party may have relating to the App, including product liability claims, any claim that the App fails to conform to a legal or regulatory requirement, claims under consumer protection or similar legislation, or any claim that the App infringes a third party's intellectual property rights.
You confirm that you are not located in a country subject to a US Government embargo or designated as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not on any US Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and, upon your acceptance, have the right to enforce them against you.
The App is provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent permitted by law, we make no warranties of any kind — express or implied — including fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, reliability, or that the App will be uninterrupted or error-free. You use it at your own risk, and you are responsible for keeping your own copies of anything you would be upset to lose.
Nothing here excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or for lost profits, lost data, or loss of goodwill. Our total liability arising out of or relating to the App or these terms will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim arose, or fifty US dollars.
If you are a consumer, these limits apply only so far as the law where you live permits, and your statutory rights are unaffected.
Biblically is a private, personal app: nothing you write is published or shared with other users, so there is little scope for unlawful content to reach anyone. If you nonetheless believe something in the App is unlawful, or that it infringes your copyright, email hello.biblically@gmail.com with what the content is, where exactly to find it, why you believe it is unlawful or infringing, and how to reach you. For a copyright claim, please also include a statement, made in good faith and under penalty of perjury, that you are the rights holder or authorised to act for them.
We will acknowledge a complete report without undue delay and tell you what we decide. If we remove something of yours, we will tell you why and you can reply to the same address.
These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable in that province, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Subject to the paragraph below, the courts of British Columbia have jurisdiction over any dispute.
If you are a consumer in the European Union or the United Kingdom, nothing in this section takes away the protection of the mandatory laws of the country you live in, and you may bring proceedings in your local courts. The European Commission also provides an online dispute resolution platform at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr; we are not obliged to use it.
Before starting formal proceedings, please email us — most problems are quicker to fix directly.
If any part of these terms is unenforceable, the rest still applies. If we do not enforce a right straight away, we have not given it up. You may not transfer your rights under these terms; we may transfer ours if the App changes hands, and we will say so in the App beforehand. These terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the whole agreement between us about the App.
