Frequently asked questions

What is Hiyori?

A gentle companion for spending less time in endless feeds — little by little, at your own pace. Instead of blocking apps, it gives you something calmer to open: a finite feed of your own photos, an emotion notebook, and a cozy little world that only grows.

Is it an app blocker?

No. Hiyori never blocks or locks anything. It replaces the pull of the infinite scroll with a calm, finite look back at your own memories — no shame, no punishment, no comparison.

Do I need an account?

No. There is no sign-up, no login, and no server. Everything stays on your device and the core experience works offline.

Which devices are supported?

iPhone on iOS 18 or later.

Is my data private?

Yes. Hiyori collects no data, shows no ads, and has no tracking. Your photos never leave your device, and any photo analysis happens on-device. See our Privacy Policy.

What can I buy? (In-App Purchase)

The core app is free. One optional one-time unlock, Hiyori Plus, adds an adaptive taper program, full journey and looking-back cards, seasonal album printing and long export, and cosmetics for your little world. No subscription.

How do Health and iCloud work?

Both are optional and off by default. If you turn them on, Mindful Minutes and State of Mind are written to your own Apple Health, and a small amount of text can back up to your own private iCloud. We never see either.

How are screen-time numbers calculated?

From numbers you enter yourself or from Apple's on-device reporting. They are a reference, shown on your device only — nothing is sent to us.

How do reminders work?

Gentle reminders are optional and scheduled on-device — never daily nagging. Turn them off anytime in the App or iOS Settings.
