Terms and Conditions

Last Updated: September 22, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By downloading, installing, or using the Doomcut application ("App") from the Apple App Store or Google Play, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the App.

Your use of the App is also subject to the applicable store terms, including Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement (Standard EULA) and the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, or Google Play's Terms of Service, which govern downloads, in-app purchases, and subscriptions.

2. Description of Service

Doomcut is a screen-time blocker that helps you cut doomscrolling by shielding distracting apps during focus windows you choose. The App may allow you to:

  • Select apps to block or shield on your device
  • Create and arm daily or recurring schedule windows
  • View protection status and blocked-app overview on Home
  • Receive optional reminder notifications when you opt in
  • Upgrade to Doomcut Pro for premium limits and features shown in the App

The App is for personal productivity and wellness purposes. It is not a medical device, therapy, counseling, or crisis service. It does not diagnose or treat any condition.

3. App Store, Google Play & Device Requirements

  • The App is distributed through the Apple App Store and Google Play
  • You must comply with applicable store review guidelines and platform usage rules
  • On iOS, core blocking requires Screen Time (Family Controls) permission; app blocking ships on supported iOS versions
  • On Android, core blocking requires enabling the Doomcut Accessibility service; the service only detects shielded app launches and does not read content inside other apps
  • Optional reminders require notification permission when you enable them
  • Blocking reliability depends on your device settings, OS version, battery restrictions, and whether required permissions remain granted
  • We do not guarantee that shields will apply in every device state (for example when Accessibility or Screen Time access is revoked, the device is powered off, or the OS restricts background activity)

4. Accounts and Data

  • Doomcut does not require email, Apple Sign In, Google Sign In, or password registration
  • There is no sign-in screen; a Firebase anonymous account may be created in the background to support subscriptions and device records
  • Blocked app lists, schedules, shields, and preferences are stored primarily on your device
  • You are responsible for maintaining your device and keeping required permissions enabled for reliable blocking
  • We do not guarantee recovery of local data after uninstalling the App or resetting your device
  • You may request deletion of server-side records — see our Support & Data Deletion page

5. Blocking, Permissions & Acceptable Use

  • You choose which apps to shield; do not use Doomcut to control another person's device without their consent
  • Screen Time and Accessibility permissions must be granted by the device owner
  • You can revoke permissions in system Settings; some features will stop working without them
  • The App does not send SMS, email, or social messages on your behalf
  • Do not attempt to misuse Accessibility or Screen Time APIs to monitor others covertly

6. Subscriptions & In-App Purchases

Doomcut Pro is offered as an auto-renewable subscription through Apple In-App Purchase and Google Play Billing:

  • pro_monthly — monthly subscription
  • pro_yearly — annual subscription, which may include a free trial period as shown in the App
  • Payment is charged to your Apple ID or Google Play account at confirmation of purchase
  • Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period
  • Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period at the price shown in the App
  • On iOS, manage or cancel subscriptions in Settings → [Your Name] → Subscriptions
  • On Android, manage subscriptions in Google Play → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions
  • Use Restore Purchases on the paywall or in Settings after reinstalling or switching devices
  • Free trials convert to paid subscriptions unless cancelled before the trial ends
  • Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you purchase a subscription where applicable
  • Refunds are handled by Apple or Google according to store policies
  • Core blocking features may work without a subscription; Pro unlocks premium limits as described in the App

7. Privacy and Third-Party Services

Your use of the App is also governed by our Privacy Policy. The App may integrate with services such as:

  • Firebase (Google) for anonymous authentication, analytics, remote configuration, messaging, and cloud records
  • Adapty for App Store and Google Play subscription and purchase management
  • Sentry for crash and error monitoring
  • Apple Screen Time / Family Controls frameworks on iOS
  • Android Accessibility services for shielding on Android

On iOS, App Tracking Transparency may be presented before analytics that could be used for tracking across apps and websites owned by other companies.

8. Disclaimers and Limitations

  • The App is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind to the fullest extent permitted by law
  • We do not guarantee that you will reduce screen time, stop doomscrolling, or achieve specific wellness outcomes
  • Apple and Google are not responsible for the App or its content except as required by applicable law
  • Our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law
  • Total liability shall not exceed the amount you paid for the App or in-app purchases in the twelve (12) months before the claim, if any

9. Updates and Termination

  • We may release updates to improve blocking reliability, schedules, security, and platform compatibility
  • We may modify these Terms; continued use after changes may constitute acceptance where permitted by law
  • You may stop using the App at any time; uninstalling removes local data unless backed up elsewhere
