Free access programme

When you need Avelia most, cost shouldn’t be the barrier.

Some people need Avelia more than they can safely pay for it. People in coercive households. Survivors working through trauma. People in jurisdictions where reproductive health tracking carries legal risk. Refugees and displaced people.

The Avelia Fund exists for them. We give free Premium licences to partner organisations — shelters, hotlines, health advocacy groups, reproductive health NGOs — who distribute them at their discretion. You never identify yourself to us. We never ask who you are.

Why we do this

Because structural privacy means something.

Most health apps fund themselves by selling user data. That gives them nothing to give away — a free user is a free data source, not a gift. Avelia’s zero-knowledge architecture means we literally cannot read your data, so we have nothing to monetise either way. Giving the app away to people who need it costs us almost nothing — and it’s the right thing to do.

How to get a free licence

Two paths to a code.

Avelia Fund codes are distributed entirely through partner organisations. We do not issue codes directly to individuals — this is intentional, to preserve your privacy from us.

1

Contact a partner organisation

Reach out to one of the organisations listed below. Explain your situation (or don’t — it’s their decision how to distribute). If they have a code available, they’ll give it to you.

2

Ask your midwife, clinic, or shelter

Many clinical and advocacy organisations beyond our official partners also obtain Avelia Premium licences through us. If you’re already in their care, ask if they have Avelia codes.

3

Redeem the code in the Avelia app

Download Avelia from the App Store or Google Play. Open the app and choose “I have a redemption code”. Enter the code. You’re done — no email, no payment, no personal information required.

Questions & answers

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to prove I’m eligible?
No. Avelia has no eligibility criteria — we leave distribution decisions entirely to our partner organisations. They know their communities best. Contact a partner and they decide whether and how to distribute.
Will Avelia know I used a Fund code?
We know the code was redeemed. We do not know who redeemed it, who gave it to you, when you received it, or anything else about you. Redemption creates an anonymous account identified only by a random number that you generate on your phone.
How long is a Fund code valid?
Fund codes unlock Avelia Premium for 12 months from redemption. Unredeemed codes can be redeemed for at least 3 years from the date they were issued.
What happens when my account expires?
Once your licence expires, you can no longer sync data between devices. After a grace period of 2–4 weeks, your data must be removed from our servers — only the local copy on your phone remains. To continue using Avelia, you have three options: redeem a new free Fund code from a partner organisation, switch to a paid account by purchasing in-app, or buy a code from one of our partners.
Can I share my code with someone else?
Technically yes, until it’s redeemed. Once redeemed, a code can only be used once. We ask you to use codes for their intended purpose, but we have no way to enforce this.
Why is Avelia doing this?
Because we built Avelia for people who need private, trustworthy tools — and excluding the people who need them most would contradict the purpose of the app. Unlike competitors who sell user data, Avelia’s zero-knowledge architecture means giving away free licences costs us almost nothing. It’s the right thing to do, and we can afford to do it.
