Terms of use

Last updated 6 November 2026. Questions: hello@thumbpause.com.

By installing or using Thumbpause you agree to these terms. They are short on purpose.

What Thumbpause is

A tool that puts a pause in front of apps you choose and helps you set limits. It is a self-help tool, not a medical service. It does not diagnose, treat or cure anything, and the coach is not a therapist. If you are struggling, please see a doctor or counsellor.

Using it

Subscriptions

Paid plans are sold and billed by Google Play or the App Store, which handle payment, receipts, refunds and cancellation under their own rules. Trials and prices are shown before you subscribe. Cancel in your store account at any time; you keep access until the period you paid for ends. We do not raise the price of an existing subscriber's plan.

Your content

What you write (reasons, coach messages) is yours. You give us permission to store and process it only to run the app for you, as described in the privacy policy.

No guarantees

We work hard to keep Thumbpause reliable, but it is provided as it is. Phones, Android versions and other apps change, and we cannot promise it will block or pause every app every time. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, and our total liability is limited to what you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing here limits rights you have by law as a consumer.

Changes and contact

We may update these terms and will say so in the app when it matters. You can stop using Thumbpause and delete your account whenever you like. Write to hello@thumbpause.com. These terms are governed by the laws of India, and the courts there have jurisdiction, without taking away protections your local consumer law gives you.
