Using Doomsurfing
Terms of Use
Terms for the free Doomsurfing app, website and existing subscriptions.
Effective and last reviewed: 18 October 2026
Agreement and publisher
These Terms are between you and Latitude 34 Media Group, the publisher of Doomsurfing. By downloading or using the app or website, you agree to these Terms. The app is intended for personal use by people aged 16 and older.
App licence
The licensed iPhone app is also subject to Apple’s Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement. These Terms add product, subscription, website and support information. If these Terms conflict with Apple’s standard licence for the licensed app, Apple’s standard licence controls to the extent of that conflict.
What the service does—and does not do
Doomsurfing uses Apple Screen Time frameworks to apply timed restrictions to apps selected through Apple’s picker and to display activity information iOS makes available. Apple permissions, operating-system behaviour, device settings and third-party apps can affect these features. Blocking an app does not necessarily block its website, sign out of an account or stop notifications delivered through another service.
Doomsurfing is a wellbeing and productivity tool. It is not medical treatment, parental-control software, emergency communications software or a guarantee that every distraction will be unavailable. Do not rely on it to provide or prevent emergency access. Calls or messages inside an app you select for restriction may be unavailable during a break.
Free access and existing subscriptions
Selected-app blocking and usage reports are free. No subscription or purchase is required for these features. Screen Time authorisation is still needed to select apps, apply restrictions and view usage. There is no new paid offer in this release.
If you have an existing Apple subscription, making the features free does not by itself cancel it or refund an earlier charge. You can check its current status through Apple. Existing paid service remains available through its paid term; no future paid feature is promised.
A subscription renews automatically unless cancelled through Apple. Apple handles payment, renewal, refunds and subscription management under its terms. You can restore eligible purchases in the app and manage or cancel a subscription in Apple Account settings. Deleting Doomsurfing does not cancel a subscription.
Acceptable use and your responsibility
Use Doomsurfing only on devices and Apple accounts you are authorised to control. Do not misuse the app or website, attempt to interfere with the service, evade security controls, reverse engineer except where the law permits, or use it unlawfully.
You are responsible for reviewing the apps selected for a break and for maintaining another way to obtain urgent help. End the break or use the release control in Settings if the selected restrictions are not appropriate for your situation.
Availability, changes and liability
The app and website may change, be interrupted or become unavailable. To the extent permitted by law, they are provided without a promise of uninterrupted or error-free operation. Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts or modifies rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded, including applicable rights under the Australian Consumer Law.
