Agreement

By using Maatram (the website, the Android app and the Maatram Hard Lock Chrome extension) you agree to these terms. Maatram is a free, open-source, non-commercial student project — not a registered company — built and maintained by Team Maatram at SSVM School of Excellence.

The service

Maatram provides focus timers, an App Gate/Hard Lock friction layer for social apps, live study rooms, screen-time stats, a productivity leaderboard, Wellness (a private 7-day meal plan with daily checks that earn points), and a Sports Corner for offline events. The optional Maatram Hard Lock Chrome extension blocks Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, YouTube, X and Facebook in Chrome during a Hard Lock and counts time spent on them for your Stats page. Wellness is general guidance for everyday habits, not medical or nutrition advice. Features may change, be added, or be removed as the project develops — this is a school project actively being built, not a finished commercial product.

Your account

You can use every tool without an account; signing in, with Google only, is what saves your points. You're responsible for keeping your account access secure and for anything done from it. Don't share your account or App Gate lock in ways meant to help someone bypass the features they're meant to help with.

Fair use

Points, streaks and leaderboard ranks are meant to reflect real focus. Manipulating them (automated scripts, exploiting bugs to inflate points, impersonating another student) may result in your points being reset or your account being removed. Maatram's Firestore rules limit how fast and how far points can change to make this harder.

Hard Lock & App Gate

These features are meant to help you build better habits, not to lock you out of your device against your will. On Android, Maatram Shield only acts within the app-blocking rules you turn on yourself, and can be disabled any time from your phone's Accessibility settings. The Chrome extension only blocks sites during a Hard Lock you start, and you can remove it from Chrome at any time.

No warranty

Maatram is provided "as is," built by students, with no guarantee it will be error-free or always available. We're not liable for screen time, missed messages, or anything else that happens while a Hard Lock or App Gate is active — you choose to turn those features on.

Open source & license

Maatram's code is published under the MIT License on GitHub. You may read, fork and self-host it under that license's terms.

Changes

We may update these terms as Maatram grows. Continued use after a change means you accept the update; material changes will be noted on the Updates page. Questions? Email maatram97 (at) gmail.com.
