Align is free to use. Align Plus is an optional upgrade that unlocks extra scheduling features. This page explains what Plus includes, which plans are available, and how to restore or manage a purchase.

Free vs Plus

The paywall's Everything You Get grid compares the Free and Plus columns.

Included for free:

  • Unlimited time blocks
  • Calendar sync
  • Time block personalization (icons and colors)
  • Custom alerts
  • Recurring time blocks

Align Plus adds:

  • Overlap avoidance: drag or resize a time block and the surrounding blocks shift so nothing overlaps. See Overlap Avoidance.
  • Time block locking: lock a time block so it can't be dragged or pushed aside by other blocks. See Locking Time Blocks.
  • Subtasks: add, reorder and check off subtasks inside a time block. See Subtasks.
  • Custom day start/end: set your own start and end time for the day timeline. See Custom Day Start and End.
  • Insights: daily, weekly and monthly insights into how your plan goes. See Insights.
  • Upcoming plus features: access to Align Plus features added later.

Everything in the Free column stays available without Plus.

Open Align Plus

  1. Open Settings in Align.
  2. Tap the Align Plus banner (Upgrade now).

Plans

The paywall shows the Yearly plan by default. Tap the arrow next to it to see every plan:

  • Weekly, Monthly and Yearly subscriptions, which renew automatically until you cancel.
  • One-time Purchase (lifetime): "Buy once, keep forever! No subscription."

Select a plan, then tap Start free trial or Continue to payment to complete the purchase with Apple. Prices are shown in the paywall and vary by country.

Free Trial

The Yearly plan includes a one-week free trial. When your Apple Account is eligible for it, the plan shows 1 week free trial and the button reads Start free trial.

Apple decides trial eligibility. If you have already used the trial, the plan shows no trial and the button reads Continue to payment.

Restore Purchases

Use Restore Purchases when you already bought Align Plus but it isn't active, for example on a new device or after reinstalling Align.

  1. Sign in to the App Store with the Apple Account you used for the purchase.
  2. Open the Align Plus paywall (see Open Align Plus).
  3. Tap Restore Purchases at the bottom of the paywall.

If an active purchase is found, the paywall closes and the Plus features are unlocked.

Manage or Cancel Your Subscription

Subscriptions are billed and managed by Apple. Align can't change or cancel a subscription for you.

To manage it from Align:

  1. Open Settings in Align.
  2. Tap the Align Plus banner (Manage).
  3. Apple's subscription screen opens, where you can change plans or cancel.

You can also manage it outside Align in the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad: tap your name, then Subscriptions.

Early Adopters

People who set up Align before Align Plus was introduced get every Align Plus feature for free, for life, as a thank-you for their early support. No purchase is needed.

  • Plus features are unlocked without a subscription.
  • The Align Plus banner in Settings still shows Upgrade now. Tapping it opens a paywall titled Thank you for your support!
  • You can still buy a subscription or the lifetime purchase from that screen if you want to support Align's development. It is optional.

iPhone and iPad

Align Plus is tied to your Apple Account. Sign in with the same Apple Account on your iPhone and iPad and Plus is active on both. If Plus doesn't appear on a device, use Restore Purchases there.

Early adopter access is stored in iCloud, so it follows you to other devices signed in to the same iCloud account.
