Terms of Service
Welcome to Cascade. By downloading or using the app, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the app.
Using Cascade
Cascade helps you block distracting apps and build focus using Apple's Screen Time framework. You're responsible for how you configure blocking and for keeping your device secure. The app is provided for personal, non-commercial use.
Accounts
Cascade has no sign-up. Friends features use a random six character code that the app creates for you. Keep your code to yourself and the friends you choose to share it with. Don't misuse the service, attempt to break its protections, or use it to harm others.
Subscriptions & payments
- Cascade offers a free tier plus paid plans: Monthly, Yearly (with a 7-day free trial), and a one-time Lifetime option.
- Paid subscriptions are billed through your Apple ID. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
- If you start the Yearly free trial, you won't be charged if you cancel before the trial ends. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you purchase a subscription.
- Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID subscription settings. Refunds are handled by Apple under the App Store's policies.
Intellectual property
Cascade, its name, logo, design and content are owned by us and protected by law. These terms don't grant you any right to use our branding without permission.
Disclaimers
Cascade is provided "as is." We work hard to keep it reliable, but we don't guarantee it will be uninterrupted or error-free, and blocking depends on Apple's Screen Time framework functioning on your device. Cascade is a productivity tool, not a medical or clinical treatment.
Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by law, we're not liable for indirect or consequential damages arising from your use of the app. Our total liability is limited to the amount you paid for the app in the 12 months before the claim.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms as the app evolves. We'll revise the effective date above, and continued use of the app means you accept the updated terms.
