Terms of Use · Screen Timer

These Terms of Use ("Terms") are an agreement between you and [DEVELOPER NAME] ("we", "us") for the Screen Timer iPhone app (the "App") and the screentimer-app.com website. By downloading or using the App you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the App.

The App is licensed through Apple's App Store and is also covered by Apple's Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement (the "Apple EULA"). If these Terms and the Apple EULA conflict, the Apple EULA wins. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle data.

1. Who can use Screen Timer

You must be at least 13 years old to use the App. The App is meant for limiting apps on your own iPhone.

2. What Screen Timer does, and doesn't

Screen Timer splits your daily time in the apps you choose into sessions with breaks between them. It shows a countdown in the Dynamic Island and locks the apps when a session ends, using Apple's Screen Time frameworks.

It depends on iOS. Locks, the countdown and the Live Activity rely on Apple's Screen Time and Live Activity features. Apple can change how these behave, and some features need a recent iOS version (the Dynamic Island countdown needs iOS 26.1 or later and an iPhone with a Dynamic Island).
You stay in control. You can change your limits, turn off Screen Time access or delete the App at any time. Screen Timer is a self-control tool, not a guarantee that you can't open an app.
It is not a parental control app and is not designed to manage another person's device.
It is not medical advice. Screen Timer is not a medical or mental-health product and doesn't diagnose or treat any condition. If you are worried about your phone use or your wellbeing, talk to a qualified professional.

3. Subscriptions and free trials

Some features may require a paid subscription, bought inside the App through the App Store. We don't sell subscriptions on the Website.

The price, length of each period and any free trial are shown on the subscription screen before you buy.
Payment is charged to your Apple ID account when you confirm the purchase.
Subscriptions renew automatically at the same price and for the same period unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within the 24 hours before the current period ends.
If a free trial is offered, it turns into a paid subscription when it ends unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends. Any unused part of a free trial ends when you buy a subscription.
If we change the price, Apple will tell you in advance and, where required, ask for your consent.
If you reinstall the App or get a new iPhone, use "Restore Purchases" in the App to get your subscription back on the same Apple ID.

4. Cancelling

Manage or cancel your subscription in Settings › [your name] › Subscriptions on your iPhone, or in your App Store account. Deleting the App does not cancel a subscription. After you cancel, you keep access until the end of the period you've paid for.

5. Refunds

All purchases are processed by Apple, so refunds are handled by Apple, not by us, under Apple's refund policies. To ask for one, go to reportaproblem.apple.com. We can't issue refunds or see your payment details. Nothing in these Terms limits any rights you have under consumer protection laws where you live.

6. Your license

We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App on Apple devices you own or control, as allowed by the App Store's usage rules.

7. Acceptable use

Please don't copy, modify, reverse engineer or resell the App, try to get around its subscription checks, interfere with its services, or use it to break any law.

8. Our content

The App, the Website and their designs, text, graphics and the Screen Timer name belong to us or our licensors. These Terms don't give you any rights to them except the license above.

9. Third-party services

The App relies on services from others, including Apple (App Store, Screen Time, Live Activities) and Adapty (subscription status). Their own terms apply to them, and we are not responsible for their availability or changes.

10. Disclaimers

To the extent the law allows, the App and Website are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We don't promise that the App will always be available, free of errors, or that it will lock apps in every situation, or that using it will reduce your screen time by any particular amount.

11. Limitation of liability

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for loss of data, profits or opportunities. Our total liability for any claim relating to the App is limited to the amount you paid for the App in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that can't be limited by law, such as liability for fraud, gross negligence, or death or personal injury caused by negligence.

12. Ending these Terms

You can stop using the App at any time by deleting it (and cancelling any subscription, see section 4). We may suspend or end your license if you seriously break these Terms. Sections that by their nature should continue after the Terms end, such as sections 8, 10 and 11, will continue.

13. Apple

You and we agree that:

these Terms are between you and us only, not Apple, and we, not Apple, are responsible for the App and its content;
Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the App;
if the App fails to meet any applicable warranty, you can notify Apple and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any). Apple has no other warranty obligation for the App;
Apple is not responsible for claims relating to the App, including product liability claims, claims that the App doesn't meet legal or regulatory requirements, and consumer protection or privacy claims;
Apple is not responsible for investigating, defending or settling any claim that the App infringes someone's intellectual property;
you confirm that you are not in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo, and you are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties;
Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.

14. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of [GOVERNING LAW], without regard to conflict-of-law rules. If you are a consumer, you also keep the protection of the mandatory laws of the country where you live, and you can bring claims in the courts there.

15. Changes

We may update these Terms, for example when we add features or when the law changes. We'll update the date at the top, and for significant changes we'll let you know on the Website or in the App before they take effect. If you keep using the App after that, the new Terms apply.
