Terms of Use

Last updated: May 2026

Refrain is published by Toolbelt. By installing and using Refrain, you agree to these terms and to Apple's standard End User License Agreement, which governs the iOS app itself.

The app, in plain language

Refrain is a personal focus timer with an optional app-blocking feature (via Apple's ScreenTime API). It runs on your iPhone. It is not a medical, mental-health, or addiction-treatment tool. You're responsible for the content you save and the choices you make.

Pricing

Refrain is free to download and use for the basic timer, one block rule, and one hour per day of focus.

Refrain Pro ($9.99 one-time) unlocks unlimited daily focus, unlimited block rules, the intent journal, full history, weekly reports, and custom durations. Payment is processed by Apple and charged to your Apple ID. It is a one-time non-consumable purchase — there is no auto-renewal and no subscription.

What you may do

• Use Refrain to track your personal focus on as many of your own devices as your Apple ID covers.
• Email us screenshots, ideas, or rage at hello@toolbelt.app.

What you may not do

• Resell, sublicense, or rebrand the app.
• Reverse-engineer the app for commercial purposes (security research is welcome — email us).
• Use the app to violate any law that applies to you.

Warranty disclaimer

Refrain is provided "as is" with no warranty. We make a serious effort to keep your data safe, but we do not guarantee against data loss.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Toolbelt's total liability for any claim related to Refrain is limited to the amount you paid for the app (free, or up to $9.99 for Pro).

Changes

We may update these terms when we ship new features. Material changes will be summarized in the app's release notes.
