TERMS OF SERVICE

Effective: February 19, 2026

1. ACCEPTANCE

By downloading or using FrictionApp, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the app.

2. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE

FrictionApp uses Apple's Screen Time API to block selected apps on your device at your request. Unblocking requires typing an exact phrase and completing a 60-second waiting period. The app is a self-control tool — it blocks apps only when you choose to activate it.

3. USER RESPONSIBILITY

You choose which apps to block and when to activate blocking.
You are responsible for granting Screen Time permissions required for the app to function.
The app requires a physical iOS device. Blocking does not function in the iOS Simulator.

4. NO WARRANTIES

FrictionApp is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not guarantee that:

App blocking will work in all circumstances or on all devices.
The app will prevent all impulse purchases.
The service will be uninterrupted or error-free.

5. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

To the maximum extent permitted by law, FrictionApp and its developers shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of the app, including but not limited to financial losses from purchases made while the app was not functioning as expected.

6. DATA

All data is stored locally on your device. See our Privacy Policy for details. You can export or delete all data at any time from the Settings screen.

7. CHANGES

We may update these terms. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the new terms. Updated terms will be posted here with a new effective date.

8. TERMINATION

You may stop using the app at any time by deleting it from your device. Use the "Delete All Data" option in Settings before uninstalling to remove all stored data.
