Common questions

I was charged but my subscription isn't active.

First, tap "Restore purchases" in Settings → Subscription. The app re-checks with the App Store and should activate within a few seconds. If that doesn't work, email hello@couchette.app with the Apple ID you used and the approximate date of purchase — we'll coordinate with RevenueCat to resolve it.

How do I cancel my subscription?

On iPhone: Settings → [Your Name] → Subscriptions → Couchette → Cancel Subscription. Couchette cannot cancel for you — Apple requires you to do it through the App Store. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period; you keep access until then.

How do I get a refund?

Refunds are handled by Apple, not by us. Visit reportaproblem.apple.com, find the Couchette charge, and tap "Report a Problem". Apple typically responds within 48 hours. If your request is denied and you believe it shouldn't have been, email us and we'll write a supporting note.

I switched phones. How do I move my subscription?

Install Couchette on the new device using the same Apple ID that holds the subscription. On first launch, tap "Restore purchases" in Settings → Subscription. Your premium access appears. Your local passport, however, does not transfer automatically — cross-device passport sync is on the roadmap but not yet shipped.

My audio cuts out mid-journey.

Couchette plays audio in the background by design, but iOS will stop us if another app takes over the audio session (e.g. you accept a phone call, start a podcast, open Apple Music). Returning to Couchette should resume the soundtrack. If the audio still doesn't return, double-tap Home → swipe Couchette away → reopen. The session timer continues regardless.

I disembarked early. Did I lose the session?

Disembarking early does not earn a passport stamp, but it also doesn't penalise you. Your streak is preserved only by completed (or partially completed) journeys. If you stopped before the train passed any stations, the journey is treated as never having departed.

I have feedback on a feature.

We read every email. Be as specific as you can — what you were trying to do, what happened, what you wished had happened. Concrete is more useful than diplomatic. hello@couchette.app.

Status

Couchette is a local-first app — there is no Couchette server you depend on to start a focus session. The only external services that can affect the app are Apple (App Store + subscription state) and RevenueCat (subscription brokering). If either is down, purchases and restores may fail temporarily, but existing sessions continue normally.
