Terms and Conditions

Last updated: September 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By downloading, installing, or using ScreenTame or any other app published by New Watch Co Limited ("the App"), you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions ("Terms"). If you do not agree, do not use the App.

These Terms form a legal agreement between you and New Watch Co Limited, a company registered in England and Wales ("we", "us", "our"). Apple Inc. is not a party to this agreement and has no obligation to provide support or handle claims relating to the App.

2. Description of the Service

ScreenTame is a personal productivity application for iOS that uses Apple's Screen Time and Family Controls APIs to help users monitor device usage, build focus habits, and manage app access. The App is intended for personal, non-commercial use.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 17 years old to use the App, in accordance with Apple App Store age requirements. By using the App you confirm you meet this requirement. If you are setting up Family Controls on behalf of a minor, you confirm you are the parent or legal guardian of that minor.

4. In-App Purchases

ScreenTame is free and all of its features are included at no cost. The App offers optional tips to support development. All payments are processed by Apple through the App Store. Tips are one-off, are not subscriptions, and unlock no additional functionality.

We do not process or store your payment information. Refunds are handled by Apple in accordance with their refund policy.

5. No Medical or Mental Health Advice

The App is a productivity and habit-tracking tool only. Nothing in the App constitutes medical, psychological, or mental health advice. If you are concerned about your relationship with technology or your mental health, please consult a qualified healthcare professional. We are not liable for any decisions made on the basis of information provided by the App.

6. Data and Privacy

Your screen time data — the apps you track, your limits, your opens and your streak history — is stored locally on your device and is not transmitted to us. Screen Time and Family Controls data is processed entirely on-device by Apple's frameworks.

If you choose to use the optional social features (accountability partners and competitions), a display name you choose, a randomly generated friend code and your streak count are stored in a public Apple CloudKit database so that other participants can see your progress. This happens only if you opt in to those features. We do not sell your data to anyone. For full details, see our Privacy Policy.

7. Intellectual Property

All content, design, code, and branding within the App are the property of New Watch Co Limited and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or reverse-engineer any part of the App without our prior written consent.

8. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

  • Use the App for any unlawful purpose
  • Attempt to bypass, disable, or interfere with any feature of the App
  • Misrepresent your identity or affiliation when using the App
  • Choose a display name that is offensive, impersonates another person, or infringes anyone's rights

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

The App is provided "as is" and "as available" without any warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses. We do not guarantee the accuracy of any data displayed, including streak counts, pickup statistics, or usage metrics. Your use of the App is at your sole risk.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, New Watch Co Limited shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the App, including loss of data, loss of profits, or personal injury.

In any event, our total liability to you shall not exceed the amount you paid for the App or any in-app purchases in the twelve months preceding the claim.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot be excluded by law.

11. Third-Party Services

The App relies on Apple's Screen Time, Family Controls, StoreKit and CloudKit frameworks. Your use of those services is subject to Apple's own terms and privacy policy. We are not responsible for the availability or conduct of any third-party service.

12. Changes to the App and Terms

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the App at any time without notice. We may also update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the App after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

13. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the App at any time if you breach these Terms. Upon termination, all licences granted to you under these Terms will immediately cease.

14. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes arising under these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
