How much does Blank Spaces cost?

The pricing page lists **$1.99/week, $3.99/month, $17.99/year and $23.99 lifetime (USD)**. Be careful quoting those back at support: App Store in-app purchase data also shows higher tiers ($7.99 monthly, $19.99 yearly, $29.99 lifetime) and discounted annual offers ($18.99 and $12.99), so the amount actually taken from your card may not match the website. Check your Apple receipt or card statement for the exact figure and date before requesting a refund, getting the number right makes the claim harder to bounce.

How to restore my subscription

If you cancelled by mistake or switched devices, the subscription is tied to your Apple ID. Blank's help centre says to restore it by tapping the **restore button at the bottom of the paywall**, or on the web payment page click *Restore subscription* just below the payment plans. Worth knowing before you cancel: restoring works only while the purchase still exists on that Apple ID, a refunded purchase is revoked and cannot be restored. If restore fails after a cancellation you regret, re-subscribing at the current price is the only route.

How do I delete my Blank account/data?

Deleting your data and cancelling are separate actions, do the cancellation **first**, or billing continues. The privacy policy says you can request access to, correction of, or deletion of your data at any time by email. Send the deletion request to the address on their privacy page and keep the reply; it's useful evidence if a charge appears afterwards. Note that feedback you submitted may have been published on their public feedback page (feed.blankspaces.app) on an opt-in basis, so ask for that to be removed in the same email if it applies.

Will I lose my layouts and blocked-app setup if I cancel?

Expect to. The pricing page gates custom layouts, themes, typography and the focus/distraction-reduction tools behind Premium, and the App Store listing says that after the trial you need to subscribe for full access. The Terms do mention a free version, so basic launcher functionality may survive, but the customisation that took you an hour to configure is the paid part. Screenshot your layout and your blocked-app list before you cancel. Access runs until the end of the period you've already paid for, so cancel early and keep using it.

Is there a cancellation fee?

No. Nothing in the Terms, the pricing page or the help centre mentions a cancellation or early-termination fee, and there's no contract minimum, all plans simply run to the end of the period you've paid for. The real cost trap is timing, not fees: auto-renew must be switched off at least 24 hours before the period ends, and on the $1.99 weekly plan that window comes round fast. Lifetime has no renewal at all, so there's nothing to cancel, only a refund to request.

Can I pause Blank Spaces instead of cancelling?

There's no documented pause or freeze option, the help centre's account section covers restoring, cancelling, refunds, pricing and data deletion, with nothing on suspension. Your practical alternatives are: cancel and rely on the free version plus Apple's built-in Screen Time, or if you genuinely want the app long-term, the $23.99 Lifetime purchase removes recurring billing entirely. If you're cancelling because of a bug rather than cost, say so in your email, the developer responds publicly to bug reports and has refunded users who documented broken locks and widgets.

Why am I still being charged after cancelling Blank Spaces Launcher?

Usually one of three things: the cancellation never completed (no written confirmation), the subscription bills through Apple or Google and must be cancelled there, or a minimum term is still running. Charges continuing after a confirmed cancellation can be disputed with your bank as a chargeback.

How do I delete my Blank Spaces Launcher account?

Cancel the subscription first, then request account deletion in settings or by email. If there is no self-serve option, email a written erasure request citing the applicable data-protection law; most companies complete erasure within about 30 days.

Q: How do I cancel the free trial before being charged?

Blank Spaces advertises a **7-day free trial** that converts to a paid subscription automatically unless cancelled beforehand. Cancel on **day 5 or 6**, not day 7: auto-renewal has to be off at least 24 hours before the trial period ends. Go to Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions → Blank Spaces → Cancel Subscription. You keep trial access until day 7 regardless. Note some users report being offered no trial at all on certain paywalls, one reviewer said they paid for a month with '(no trial available!)', so check your receipt rather than assuming you're inside a trial.

Q: Does Blank Spaces Launcher charge a cancellation fee?

Rolling monthly plans end at the period already paid for with nothing extra to pay. Fixed minimum-term plans can carry an early-exit charge until the term ends, check your signup terms for a minimum-term end date.

What happens to what you’ve already paid

Blank Spaces sells one product, the Blank Spaces Premium launcher subscription (weekly/monthly/yearly) plus a one-off Lifetime purchase, so every rule here is about that single subscription or Lifetime charge. Subscription and Lifetime charges made inside the iOS app are billed by Apple: Apple decides those refunds at reportaproblem.apple.com, and the developer's help page says if Apple declines, you email them a screenshot of the purchase and the denial and they refund you directly. Charges bought on the website are handled by their third-party payment provider acting as merchant of record, and the Terms set a 14-day window from your initial purchase or last renewal. Cancelling only stops future renewals, there is no documented pro-rata credit for the remainder of a billed period, so the refund request is separate from the cancellation.

“You may request a refund within 14 days of your initial purchase or last renewal by emailing [email protected]. Web purchase refunds are issued through our payment provider. Apple-processed purchases are subject to Apple's refund policy and must be requested through Apple.”

Does Blank Spaces Launcher charge a cancellation fee?

We found no cancellation fee in Blank Spaces Launcher’s published terms. On a rolling plan you simply pay to the end of the current billing period and nothing after. If you’re inside a fixed minimum term, check your signup email for the end date, cancelling early is where fees usually hide.

What doesn’t work for cancelling Blank Spaces Launcher

Based on 7 sources, Reddit, app reviews, and direct testing. Skip these and save yourself the loop.

✕ Deleting the app from your iPhone, The subscription lives on your Apple ID, not in the app. Removing Blank Spaces leaves auto-renew running and the next weekly/monthly/annual charge still lands.
✕ Emailing Blank Spaces to cancel an Apple-billed subscription, Apple is the merchant for in-app purchases; the developer cannot switch off an Apple auto-renewal. Their own Terms send you to Apple ID subscription settings. Email is still worth sending as a dated paper trail and for the refund ask, but it will not stop the renewal on its own.
✕ Relying on Apple's reportaproblem refund as the only route, App Store reviewers report Apple refusing: one review describes requesting a refund that was denied, and another says Apple originally declined before the developer refunded the subscription directly. Apple's decision is not the end of the road.
✕ Cancelling during the 7-day trial on the final day, Auto-renewal must be switched off at least 24 hours before the period ends, so a day-7 cancellation can still convert to a paid plan.
✕ Using Apple's cancel flow for a purchase made on blankspaces.app, Web purchases run through a third-party payment provider acting as merchant of record; they will not appear in your Apple ID subscriptions at all and must be cancelled via the link in your confirmation email.
✕ Assuming the free tier keeps your setup after cancelling, The Terms say a free version exists, but the App Store listing states that after the trial ends you need to subscribe to get full access, custom layouts, themes and focus tools are premium-gated, so expect to lose them.

Cancelled Blank Spaces Launcher but still being charged?

Three common reasons, in order of likelihood:

The cancellation didn’t actually complete. If you never received a written confirmation from Blank Spaces Launcher, treat it as not cancelled. Email ask@blankspaces.app referencing your original request date and ask for written confirmation plus a refund of any charge taken since.
You cancelled in the wrong place. Subscriptions started through the App Store or Google Play bill through Apple or Google, cancelling on Blank Spaces Launcher’s site doesn’t touch them. Check Settings → Subscriptions on iPhone, or Play Store → Payments & subscriptions on Android.
Billing lag. A charge that was already in flight when you cancelled can still land a few days later. One trailing charge can be normal; two is not.

If they keep charging after a confirmed cancellation, that’s chargeback territory: dispute the charge with your bank citing “subscription cancelled, merchant continued billing”. The yoink app also flags this automatically, it keeps watching your inbox after a confirmed cancellation and alerts you if Blank Spaces Launcher charges again.

How Blank Spaces Launcher will try to keep you

Blank Spaces Launcher may respond with a retention offer, a discount, a free month, or a downgrade to a cheaper tier. Don't engage with the counteroffer. Restate that you want a full cancellation and cite the consumer law again if they push back.

They’ll say: “Redirecting refund/pricing complaints into troubleshooting, developer replies to negative App Store reviews consistently push users to email ask@blankspaces.app so the team can 'guide you through resolving this' rather than process the refund.”
You say: State in the first line that you are not asking for troubleshooting: 'I am cancelling and requesting a refund of [amount] charged on [date]. Please confirm cancellation and refund in writing, I do not need setup assistance.'
They’ll say: “The trial-was-offered defence, developer responses answer price complaints with 'We do offer a 7-day free trial to allow you to explore the app fully before committing.'”
You say: Point out the trial does not cure a defect: 'The feature I paid for did not work after the trial converted, so the trial gave me no chance to evaluate it. The 14-day refund window in your Terms applies to this renewal.'
They’ll say: “Lifetime upsell as a save offer, developer replies note that 'while we do offer a lifetime one-time payment option' when users object to recurring pricing.”
You say: 'I'm not converting to Lifetime. Please cancel the recurring plan and refund the most recent charge under your 14-day policy.'
They’ll say: “Apple-ping-pong, the help page routes you to reportaproblem.apple.com first, which multiple reviewers say denied them.”
You say: Pre-empt the loop: attach the Apple denial screenshot plus the purchase receipt in your first email, quoting their own line about refunding directly when Apple declines.
They’ll say: “Setup friction keeps people past the trial, reviews repeatedly cite difficult setup, widget problems and locks that stopped working, with one reviewer saying they wanted a refund because setup was too hard.”
You say: Frame it as not-as-described: 'The app-locking/widget functionality advertised did not work on my device despite following your setup guide. I'm requesting a refund of the charge on [date].'

FTC Click-to-Cancel Rule (2024+)
Cancel must be as easy as sign-up.
The Federal Trade Commission’s Click-to-Cancel rule requires Blank Spaces Launcher to make cancelling at least as simple as signing up, same channel, same number of clicks. If they buried the cancel button or forced a phone call, they’re in violation; report to reportfraud.ftc.gov.
California ARL (auto-renewal law)
Renewal must be cancellable online.

Delete your Blank Spaces Launcher account (not just cancel)

Cancelling stops the billing; deleting removes your account and personal data. Do them in that order, deleting an account with an active subscription can leave the billing running with no way to log in and stop it.

If there’s no delete option in Blank Spaces Launcher’s account settings, email ask@blankspaces.app with the subject Account deletion request, [your account email] and ask for your account and personal data to be erased under state privacy laws such as the CCPA. They’re typically required to act on it, most companies complete erasure within about 30 days, and you should ask for written confirmation when it’s done.

Common questions about cancelling Blank Spaces Launcher

Because the app is iOS-only and billed through Apple for in-app purchases, the cancel flow lives in your phone, not the app. Go to **Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions → Blank Spaces → Cancel Subscription**, or open apps.apple.com/account/subscriptions on any device signed into the same Apple ID. Do it **at least 24 hours before** the period ends, the listing states subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off 24 hours before the current period closes. Deleting the app does nothing. You keep access until the paid period expires.
