Terms of Service

Last updated: September 9, 2025

1. Acceptance of Terms

By downloading, installing, or using Sunbreak ("the App"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, do not use the App.

2. Description of Service

Sunbreak is a free iOS application that helps users establish bedtime routines by using Apple's built-in Screen Time framework to restrict access to selected apps during user-defined bedtime hours. The App may request location permission to calculate local sunrise times for automatic scheduling, but this is optional.

Important: The App does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data. It works entirely through Apple's existing iOS systems and stores all preferences locally on your device.

3. Free Service

Sunbreak is provided completely free of charge. There are no subscriptions, in-app purchases, advertisements, or hidden costs. The App will remain free for all users.

4. User Responsibilities

You are responsible for:

  • Setting appropriate bedtime schedules for your needs
  • Selecting which apps to block during bedtime hours
  • Using emergency unlock features responsibly (limited to once per week)
  • Granting necessary permissions (Screen Time, Location) for the App to function
  • Understanding that the App is a tool to assist with sleep habits, not a medical device

5. App Functionality

The App provides the following features:

  • Bedtime scheduling with automatic app blocking
  • Location-based sunrise wake times
  • Configurable wake buffer time (0-120 minutes after sunrise)
  • Weekly emergency unlock (15 minutes maximum)
  • Local data storage with no external servers

6. Limitations and Disclaimers

No Medical Claims: Sunbreak is not a medical device and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any sleep disorder or medical condition.

Effectiveness: The App is designed to assist with building better sleep habits by blocking selected apps during bedtime hours. Individual results may vary and we cannot guarantee specific outcomes.

Device Dependency: The App's functionality depends on iOS Screen Time framework and device permissions. Changes to iOS or revoked permissions may affect functionality.

7. No Warranty

Sunbreak is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind, either express or implied. We do not guarantee that the App will:

  • Meet your specific requirements
  • Be uninterrupted or error-free
  • Be compatible with all iOS versions or devices
  • Remain available indefinitely on the App Store

8. Limitation of Liability

Since Sunbreak is provided free of charge and works through Apple's existing systems, the developer's liability is limited to the fullest extent permitted by law. The developer shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from:

  • The App not functioning as expected due to iOS system changes
  • User's inability to access blocked apps when needed
  • Scheduling conflicts or missed wake times
  • Any technical issues with Apple's Screen Time framework

9. User Conduct

You agree not to:

  • Attempt to reverse engineer, decompile, or hack the App
  • Use the App for any illegal or unauthorized purpose
  • Circumvent the App's intended functionality
  • Share your device access in ways that compromise the App's effectiveness

10. Privacy

Your privacy is important to us. Please review our Privacy Policy to understand how we handle your information (spoiler: we don't collect any).

11. Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these terms at any time. When we do, we will update the date at the top of this page and notify users through an App Store update. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the new terms.

12. Termination

You may stop using the App at any time by deleting it from your device. We may discontinue the App at any time, though we will make reasonable efforts to provide notice through the App Store.

13. Governing Law

These terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws applicable in your jurisdiction, without regard to conflict of law principles.
