Purchase & use terms

Service and licence

Phayen is provided by 蔺路逍 for local capture, editing and export. The Apple Standard EULA governs the app licence. This page supplements it with purchase and use information and does not exclude statutory consumer rights.

Free and Pro

Free includes core capture, representative looks and basic editing, without a watermark or reduced quality for supported basic output. Pro adds more looks and advanced creative tools. Capabilities still depend on your device, system and mode.

Annual access lasts for the active subscription. Lifetime is a one-time non-consumable purchase covering this app’s local Pro features and their future updates. It does not include separately released apps or independent cloud services.

Prices, renewal and refunds

Planned US prices are $6.99 annually and $19.99 for Lifetime. Planned China mainland prices are ¥35 annually and ¥88 for Lifetime. The App Store confirmation sheet shows final regional and tax-inclusive prices. Apple processes purchases.

Annual access renews automatically unless cancelled before the period ends under Apple’s subscription management rules. Cancellation normally leaves access until the paid period ends. Check your exact renewal date in Apple subscription management. Lifetime does not automatically cancel an annual subscription.

Request refunds through Report a Problem; Apple determines eligibility and outcome under the applicable rules. Restore purchases with the original App Store account. Temporarily unavailable products do not by themselves invalidate an existing entitlement.

The 36-photo experience

No subscription is required to try Pro with 36 independent photographic works. Each original counts once, on the first successful Pro save. A RAW and paired photo, or the still and video of a Live Photo, count as one work. Previews, failures, cancellations, retries and repeat exports do not consume another use.

The experience does not automatically become a paid subscription. Completing the app’s look and lens exploration requirements grants a one-time 24-hour Pro reward. Free capture and editing remain available when it runs out. Pro video creation requires a purchase and does not use the photo allowance. The app shows the remaining count.

Originals and completed work

Your originals and saved outputs are not taken away when a subscription or photo experience ends. Saving the same original that has already counted toward the photo experience does not consume another use. Pro work on a new original depends on current access and the remaining allowance.

Keep copies of important media. Removing the app, local files, Photos copies or backups can affect recovery. Pro is not a cloud backup service.

Content and responsible use

You retain rights to the content you capture or import and should have permission to process and share it. Looks are creative tools and do not guarantee an exact match to a physical camera, film or display, or imply endorsement by another brand.

Respect applicable law and others’ privacy, image and intellectual property rights. Information handling is described in this website’s privacy policy.
