During the 14-day trial, all of it works.
How the trial works
- After you add your baby, tap Start the 14-day trial. It's a $0 item in the App Store: no card, and nothing is charged.
- It ends at the first noon after 14 full days, your local time, so it never runs out in the middle of the night.
- The trial belongs to the baby. Everyone sharing that baby sees the same end date, and reinstalling the app doesn't start it over.
- Reminders stay inside the app, with no push notifications. Settings shows the end date. In the last three days a line appears on the Log tab during the day. After the trial, the Family Pass page opens once, the first time you open the app in the daytime.
If the trial ends and you don't buy
Nothing is charged. The app becomes the free version and keeps every record.
- The lock-screen card stops appearing. Control Center and widget buttons still work: after you unlock, the app opens and logs it.
- Family sync pauses and each iPhone keeps its own records. If someone buys the Family Pass later, they merge on their own.
- The timeline shows the last 7 days. Older records are still there: they come back with the Pass, and the export always includes them.
- The Family Pass page always has Not now, keep logging by hand. It has no countdown and no limited-time offer.
One Family Pass for the whole family
- Anyone in the family buys it once in Settings › Family Pass, and everyone in your family sharing unlocks, up to six people, for good.
- If the buyer leaves or is removed, the family goes back to the free version until someone buys it again. The same happens if Apple refunds the purchase.
- The Pass is shared through CradleFree's own family sharing, not Apple's Family Sharing for purchases.
- New iPhone or reinstalled: Settings › Family Pass › Restore purchases.
- Got a code: Settings › Family Pass › Redeem a code.
Our promise
Nothing that is free today will move into the Family Pass, and the Family Pass price won't go up. If anything changes, it moves from the Family Pass to the free version.
Questions
Will I be charged when the trial ends?
No. CradleFree has no subscription. If you don't buy the Family Pass, you keep the free version and nothing is charged.
Does each family member have to buy it?
No. One person buys it and everyone in your family sharing unlocks.
Do I pay again on a new iPhone?
No. Sign in with the same Apple Account, then go to Settings › Family Pass and tap Restore purchases.
What does it cost outside the US?
$19.99 in the US. Elsewhere, the App Store shows its own price for your country or region.
Can I get a refund?
Apple handles the payment, so we never see your payment details and can't refund it ourselves. Ask Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com.
