Terms of use

Last updated: 12 November 2026

These terms apply to the Stepwind app and to getstepwind.app. Stepwind is provided by Daniel Shachar ("we"). By using the app you agree to these terms. Apple's standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies to your use of the app.

What Stepwind does

Stepwind lets you give the apps you choose a daily time allowance. When an allowance runs out, that app is locked until midnight, using Apple's Screen Time system. You can get more time by walking (100 steps add one minute, counted only after a lock) or by buying extra minutes. Extra minutes, walked or bought, expire at midnight and do not carry over.

Stepwind is a self-control tool for adults. You must be at least 18 years old to use it. It is not a medical or health service and gives no medical advice.

Subscription

• Stepwind is offered as an auto-renewing subscription, monthly or yearly, with a free trial for new subscribers where available. The price in your country is shown in the app and on the App Store before you confirm.
• Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase, or at the end of the free trial.
• The subscription renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel it at any time in your Apple Account settings.
• Any unused part of a free trial is forfeited when you buy a subscription.

Extra minutes

You can buy extra minutes (for example +20 or +60) as one-time purchases. They are added to your balance right away, can be used on any locked app, and expire at midnight on the day of purchase. The app tells you this before you buy.

Refunds

All purchases are made through Apple, and Apple handles refunds under its own policies. You can request a refund at reportaproblem.apple.com.

What we can't promise

Stepwind depends on Apple's Screen Time and Health systems, which we don't control. Locks may occasionally start too early, too late or not at all, and step counts may be delayed or incomplete. You can always switch off Stepwind's access in your iPhone's Settings or delete the app. The app is provided "as is", without warranties of any kind, to the extent the law allows.

Fair use

Please don't misuse the app: don't try to break or reverse-engineer it, interfere with how it works, or use it to break the law.

Liability

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses arising from your use of Stepwind, and our total liability is limited to the amount you paid for Stepwind in the twelve months before the claim. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under consumer protection law that cannot be waived.

Changes

We may update these terms. If we do, we will post the new version here and update the date above. If you keep using the app after a change, the new terms apply.
