Terms of Use
Last updated 26 July 2026
These terms are an agreement between you and Kinnu Works (“we,” “us”) about your use of the Sonrise app. By downloading or using Sonrise, you agree to them. We've kept them in plain language, because you should be able to understand what you're agreeing to.
What Sonrise is
Sonrise is an iPhone app that helps you wake early and spend your first moments with God. It provides a real alarm, faith-based “wake actions” you complete to dismiss it, a daily verse, bundled Scripture and reading plans, a faithfulness streak, and a journal. It is a devotional aid, not a substitute for a doctor, counselor, or spiritual director, and nothing in it is medical, mental-health, or professional advice.
The alarm
Sonrise is designed so the alarm is not easily dismissed until you complete a wake action — that is the entire point of the app, and you choose it knowingly. Please do not rely on Sonrise as your only alarm for situations where failing to wake could be dangerous (for example, if you are on call for safety-critical work). Set a backup if the stakes are high. Sonrise depends on your device's settings, battery, and Apple's AlarmKit system, and we can't guarantee an alarm will fire in every possible condition.
Subscriptions, free trial, and billing
Full use of Sonrise requires a paid subscription, offered after a free trial:
- Yearly — $29.99 per year (about $2.50 per month), starting with a 3-day free trial.
- Monthly — $7.99 per month, with no trial.
Prices are shown in your local currency in the app at the point of purchase and are the authoritative figures; the amounts above are for reference. Here's how billing works:
- Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase.
- If you start the free trial and do not cancel before it ends, your subscription begins automatically and you are charged for the first period. We send you a reminder notification the day before the trial ends.
- Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each period unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before it ends.
- You can manage or cancel any time in Settings → your Apple Account → Subscriptions on your iPhone. Canceling stops the next renewal; you keep access until the end of the period you already paid for.
- Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you purchase a subscription.
All payments are processed by Apple through the App Store and are subject to Apple's terms. Refunds are handled by Apple, not by us; request them through Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com.
Scripture and content
The Bible translations included in Sonrise — the Berean Standard Bible, the King James Version, and the World English Bible — are in the public domain. Reading plans are generic sequences of Scripture references generated for Sonrise. The app's design, text, artwork, sounds, and code are owned by us and are licensed to you for personal use only. You may share the verse-of-the-day wallpapers the app creates. You may not copy, resell, or redistribute the app or its original content.
Acceptable use
Please use Sonrise for its intended purpose. Don't attempt to reverse-engineer, tamper with, or disrupt the app, and don't use it in any unlawful way. Sonrise has no social or user-to-user features, so there is no user-generated content to moderate.
Your content
Your journal entries, prayers, and notes are yours. They stay on your device (and your private iCloud, if enabled). We claim no ownership of them and have no access to them.
Disclaimers and liability
Sonrise is provided “as is,” without warranties of any kind, to the fullest extent allowed by law. We don't guarantee the app will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that an alarm will always fire. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of Sonrise. Nothing in these terms limits any rights you have that cannot be limited by law.
App Store terms
Sonrise is distributed through Apple's App Store, and Apple requires every app's terms to include the following. These sit alongside everything above.
- This agreement is with us, not Apple. These terms are between you and Kinnu Works only. Apple is not a party to them, and we — not Apple — are solely responsible for Sonrise and its content.
- Scope of your licence. We grant you a personal, limited, non-transferable, non-exclusive licence to use Sonrise on any Apple-branded device that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in Apple's App Store Terms of Service.
- Support is ours to provide. We are solely responsible for any maintenance and support for Sonrise. Apple has no obligation to provide any maintenance or support for it.
- Warranty. To the extent any warranty is not effectively disclaimed above, we are solely responsible for it. If Sonrise fails to conform to an applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price of the app to you. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation of any kind with respect to Sonrise.
- Claims. We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claim by you or a third party relating to Sonrise or your use of it — including product liability claims, any claim that the app fails to conform to a legal or regulatory requirement, and claims arising under consumer protection, privacy, or similar law.
- Intellectual property. If a third party claims that Sonrise infringes their intellectual property rights, we, not Apple, are solely responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement, and discharge of that claim.
- Legal compliance. By using Sonrise you confirm that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as a “terrorist supporting” country, and that you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
- Third-party terms. You agree to comply with any applicable third-party terms when using Sonrise.
- Apple as third-party beneficiary. Apple and Apple's subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms, and upon your acceptance of them Apple has the right (and is deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.
- Contact. Questions, complaints, or claims about Sonrise should be sent to Kinnu Works at dhirajkavuri29@gmail.com.
Changes
We may update the app and these terms over time. If we make material changes to these terms, we'll update this page and the date above. Continuing to use Sonrise after a change means you accept the updated terms.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the state in which Kinnu Works operates, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect.
