Clarity OS LLC
Plain-English terms for using Clarity OS and its best-effort Protection Window enforcement.
Effective Date: August 25, 2026
These Terms of Service govern your access to and use of Clarity OS, including the website at clarityos.dev, the web app, desktop apps, iOS app, device pairing flows, and related services.
By creating an account, installing Clarity OS, starting a Protection Window, or otherwise using the service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use Clarity OS.
You must be at least 13 years old to use Clarity OS. If you use Clarity OS on behalf of another person or organization, you represent that you have authority to accept these Terms for them.
Clarity OS uses email and password accounts through Supabase Auth. You are responsible for keeping your login credentials secure and for activity that occurs through your account.
New accounts may need to confirm their email address before signing in. Password reset links are sent by email. You can sign out from the web or iOS app, and you can delete your account from account settings once no protection window is active. Account deletion disables protection schedules, revokes linked devices, cancels local subscription access records, deletes user-owned rows and files, and deletes the Supabase auth user.
Individual Clarity OS subscriptions are licensed to one person. Family features may allow invited family members in the future, but those features are not generally available today.
Clarity OS offers one plan: $59.99 per year, billed annually. There is no monthly plan and no permanently free tier. Subscriptions are purchased inside the Clarity OS iPhone app as an Apple In-App Purchase. App Store prices are set per country and currency and are shown by Apple on the purchase screen before you buy; the price Apple shows is the price you pay. Paid subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled.
Apple processes the payment and is the merchant of record. Your Clarity OS account receives access only after our servers verify the purchase with Apple — a completed purchase on your device does not by itself grant access.
A 7-day free trial is included with a new subscription. Creating a Clarity OS account does not by itself grant paid features.
Your 7-day free trial begins when you subscribe, and Apple does not charge you until it ends. The trial runs at full protection strength — it is not a reduced version of the product. If you cancel before the trial ends you are not charged. When the trial ends and no active subscription exists, Clarity OS Pro feature access stops and device sync may return no active enforcement state.
For subscriptions purchased inside the iPhone app, Apple processes the payment and is the merchant of record. We receive a signed receipt from Apple identifying the transaction, the product, and the renewal date. We never receive your card number, your bank details, or your Apple Account credentials.
Billing status is determined by Clarity OS backend billing tables and server-derived entitlement checks, not by client-side settings or local device state.
Paid subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period unless canceled before renewal. Apple requires that an App Store subscription be canceled at least 24 hours before the period ends to avoid the next charge.
Apple manages the renewal, charges your Apple Account, and applies its own retry rules when a charge fails. Clarity OS emails you before every renewal charge, in addition to any notice Apple sends.
You may cancel at any time. Canceling stops future renewals; it does not end the period you have already paid for.
Cancel through Apple: open Settings on your device, tap your name, tap Subscriptions, then select Clarity OS. We cannot cancel an App Store subscription on your behalf, and we cannot see or change your payment method.
Canceling a subscription does not delete your account. Account deletion is separate and available in account settings.
Refunds are handled under our separate Refund Policy.
If you install the Clarity OS iPhone app or subscribe inside it, the terms in this section apply in addition to the rest of these Terms. Apple requires them of every app that sells a subscription through the App Store.
This agreement is with us, not Apple. These Terms are between you and Clarity OS LLC only. Apple is not a party to them. Clarity OS LLC, and not Apple, is solely responsible for the Clarity OS iPhone app and its content.
Scope of your license. Your license to use the iPhone app is non-transferable and limited to use on Apple-branded devices that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in Apple's Media Services Terms and Conditions, including any sharing Apple allows through Family Sharing or volume purchasing.
Support and maintenance are ours. Clarity OS LLC is solely responsible for support and maintenance of the iPhone app. Apple has no obligation to provide any support or maintenance for it. Reach us at support@clarityos.dev.
Warranty. Clarity OS LLC is solely responsible for any product warranties, express or implied by law, to the extent they are not effectively disclaimed elsewhere in these Terms. If the iPhone app fails to conform to an applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price of the app to you. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the app, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to a failure to conform to a warranty are the sole responsibility of Clarity OS LLC.
Claims about the app. Clarity OS LLC, and not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claim you or a third party makes relating to the iPhone app or your possession and use of it, including product liability claims, any claim that the app fails to conform to a legal or regulatory requirement, and claims arising under consumer protection, privacy, or similar legislation.
Intellectual property claims. If a third party claims that the iPhone app or your possession and use of it infringes that party's intellectual property rights, Clarity OS LLC, and not Apple, is solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of that claim.
Legal compliance. You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country, and that you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
Third-party terms. You must comply with applicable third-party terms when using the iPhone app, such as the terms of your wireless data plan.
Apple may enforce these Terms. Apple and Apple's subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms as they apply to your license to use the Clarity OS iPhone app. Upon your acceptance of these Terms, Apple has the right — and is deemed to have accepted the right — to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.

Protection Windows are time-bounded sessions that tell supported devices to block selected websites, domains, apps, or categories. Protection Windows can be started manually, scheduled as recurring or one-time windows, and synced to linked devices.
The server-side Protection Window instance is the main source of truth for runtime enforcement. Devices reconcile against that server state. Server pushes, desktop realtime messages, iOS silent pushes, and local background tasks are hints and recovery paths, not guarantees that a device will receive an update instantly.
If you choose strict protection, the current implementation may prevent ending an active strict session early until its planned end time.
Clarity OS uses best-effort enforcement. We do not guarantee that every distraction, website, app, browser, network path, or workaround will always be blocked.
Enforcement can be limited by operating system permissions, device settings, app-store rules, browser behavior, DNS and network changes, offline devices, power-saving behavior, local clock changes, user tampering, unsupported software, or outages affecting Clarity OS or third-party services.
The v1 product supports the web app and iPhone enforcement where the required iOS permissions are available. Windows desktop, macOS desktop, and the Chrome extension are deferred post-v1 surfaces and are not current public install paths. Android is not supported in the current implementation.
You may not misuse Clarity OS, interfere with the service, attempt unauthorized access, abuse APIs, scrape or automate the service in a way that harms availability, resell or redistribute the software, share an individual subscription outside its intended personal use, reverse engineer the software except where law allows, or use Clarity OS to violate law or another person's rights.
Clarity OS LLC owns the Clarity OS software, design, brand, website, documentation, and related intellectual property. The software is licensed, not sold.
You keep ownership of content and configuration you add to your account, such as blocklists, schedules, Protection Window settings, goal notes, and uploaded files. You give Clarity OS permission to host, process, transmit, and display that content as needed to provide, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the service.
Clarity OS relies on third-party services and platforms, including Supabase for authentication, database, storage, realtime, and related backend services; Vercel for hosting and analytics; Resend for contact form email and SMTP support; Apple for App Store in-app purchases, subscription management, and renewal notifications; Apple and iOS system frameworks for iOS enforcement; Microsoft Windows APIs and services for Windows enforcement; and Google Chrome extension APIs for deferred/internal extension support. Those services may have their own terms, availability limits, and outages.
Some features, platforms, and enforcement layers may be beta, internal, experimental, or not available to every user. Beta features may change, break, or be removed.
We work to keep Clarity OS available, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted service. We may perform maintenance, release updates, limit or suspend features, or change the service to improve reliability, security, or product fit.
Clarity OS is provided "as is" and "as available." To the fullest extent allowed by law, we disclaim implied warranties, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.
To the fullest extent allowed by law, Clarity OS LLC will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data, lost productivity, or business interruption. Our total liability for claims relating to the service will not exceed the amount you paid to Clarity OS in the 12 months before the claim, or $100 if you paid nothing.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Clarity OS LLC from claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses arising from your use of Clarity OS, your content or configuration, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of law or another person's rights.
You may stop using Clarity OS at any time, cancel a subscription when billing is available, or delete your account from account settings. We may suspend or terminate access if you violate these Terms, create risk for the service or other users, or if we are required to do so by law.
We may add, change, limit, or remove features, platforms, integrations, or enforcement methods. We will try to communicate material changes in a reasonable way.
We may update these Terms from time to time. If changes are material, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you. Your continued use of Clarity OS after updated Terms take effect means you accept the updated Terms.
These Terms are governed by the laws of South Carolina, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.
Before filing a legal claim, please contact us at support@clarityos.dev so we can try to resolve the issue informally. If a dispute cannot be resolved informally, the state or federal courts located in South Carolina will have exclusive jurisdiction, except where law requires otherwise.
To the fullest extent allowed by law, disputes must be brought only on an individual basis, and not as a plaintiff or class member in a class, consolidated, or representative action.
If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest of the Terms will remain in effect.
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, Refund Policy, and any plan-specific terms presented at checkout, are the entire agreement between you and Clarity OS LLC for your use of Clarity OS. For a subscription purchased through the App Store, Apple's Media Services Terms and Conditions also apply to that transaction, and where they conflict with these Terms as to that transaction, Apple's terms govern.
