1. The Service
Method is a self-discipline and productivity application. Features may include, without limitation: alarms with dismissal challenges (including camera-verified physical exercises, math, typing, and step challenges); a focus timer; app-blocking and screen-time tools; a virtual credit system; tasks and routines; AI-generated plans; streaks, XP, and leaderboards; and messaging. We may add, change, suspend, or remove features at any time without liability to you.
THE SERVICE IS A MOTIVATIONAL AND ORGANIZATIONAL TOOL ONLY. WE DO NOT GUARANTEE ANY SPECIFIC RESULTS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPROVEMENTS IN PRODUCTIVITY, DISCIPLINE, SLEEP, FITNESS, HEALTH, ACADEMIC OR PROFESSIONAL PERFORMANCE, OR SCREEN-TIME REDUCTION.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you may use the Service only with the consent and supervision of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to these Terms on your behalf. By using the Service you represent that you meet these requirements.
3. Your Account
By default an anonymous account is created for you. You are responsible for all activity under your account and for securing the device on which the App is installed. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.
4. Health and Safety Warning (Physical Challenges)
Some features invite you to perform physical exercise (for example push-ups, squats, sit-ups, jumping jacks, or walking) to dismiss an alarm or complete a challenge.
• Participation is entirely voluntary and at your own risk. You can always choose non-physical challenges or dodge a challenge.
• Consult a physician before beginning any exercise program, especially if you have a medical condition, injury, or any doubt about your fitness to exercise.
• Stop immediately if you feel pain, dizziness, shortness of breath, or discomfort.
• Ensure you have adequate space, lighting, stable footing, and appropriate surroundings before exercising, particularly when waking from sleep.
• The App counts repetitions using automated computer vision, which may be inaccurate. It does not evaluate your form, technique, or physical condition and provides no coaching, medical, or fitness advice.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL LIABILITY FOR ANY INJURY, HEALTH CONDITION, PROPERTY DAMAGE, OR OTHER HARM ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO PHYSICAL ACTIVITY PERFORMED IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICE.
5. Alarms Are Not Fail-Safe
Alarm and notification features depend on your device, operating system, permissions, battery, volume and focus settings, and other factors outside our control. Alarms may fail to ring, ring late, or be silenced by the operating system.
DO NOT RELY ON THE SERVICE AS YOUR SOLE MEANS OF WAKING OR OF MEETING ANY TIME-CRITICAL OBLIGATION (including flights, transportation, exams, work shifts, childcare, medication schedules, or medical appointments). Use an independent backup alarm for anything important. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss arising from an alarm or notification failing to fire, firing late, or being dismissed.
6. App Blocking and Screen-Time Tools
Blocking features rely on Apple’s Screen Time frameworks and are provided on a best-effort basis. They can be circumvented (including by device settings, restarts, permission changes, or operating-system behavior) and may fail without notice. They are self-management tools only: they are not a parental-control product, not a security product, and not a guarantee of restricted access. We are not liable for any failure of blocking features or for any consequence of content or apps being accessible or inaccessible.
7. Credits, Stakes, and Virtual Items
The Service includes virtual credits, stakes, XP, streaks, and similar virtual items (together, “Virtual Items”).
• Virtual Items have no monetary value, are not currency or property, and cannot be redeemed, refunded, exchanged, transferred, or cashed out.
• Virtual Items are a functional game mechanic. You may “stake” or lose Virtual Items as part of features you voluntarily enable. Staking Virtual Items involves no real money and no opportunity to win real money or anything of monetary value; it is not gambling.
• We may modify, rebalance, reset, or remove Virtual Items and the rules governing them at any time, for any reason, without notice or compensation. Balances may also be reset periodically as a designed feature of the Service.
• Virtual Items are licensed to you, not sold, and the license ends when your account or the Service ends.
8. Subscriptions and Payments
Parts of the Service require a paid subscription or one-time purchase (“Method+”). All payments are processed by Apple through your App Store account; we do not receive your payment details.
• Auto-renewal: subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in your App Store account settings; deleting the App does not cancel a subscription.
• Free trials: unused trial time is forfeited upon purchase. Trials convert to paid subscriptions unless cancelled before the trial ends.
• Price changes: prices may change; Apple will notify you as required and changes apply to subsequent renewal periods.
• Refunds: purchases are subject to Apple’s refund policies; refund requests must be made through Apple.
• Feature availability within paid tiers may change over time.
8A. Hardcore Mode (Real-Money Stake)
Hardcore Mode is an optional, self-imposed commitment feature. If you enable it, you deposit a fixed amount of real money (the “Stake”) that rides on your alarm mornings.
How it works. You choose a Stake amount and a dismissal window and deposit the Stake through PayPal. While Hardcore Mode is armed, each time a Hardcore alarm rings you must complete its dismissal challenge within your chosen dismissal window. If you complete it, your Stake remains deposited and rides on the next Hardcore morning.
Forfeiture. THE STAKE IS FORFEITED, IN FULL AND PERMANENTLY, THE MOMENT YOU DISMISS A HARDCORE ALARM WITHOUT COMPLETING ITS CHALLENGE, OR A HARDCORE ALARM RINGS PAST YOUR DISMISSAL WINDOW WITHOUT THE CHALLENGE BEING COMPLETED (A “MISS”). FORFEITED STAKES ARE NOT REFUNDED, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, FOR ANY REASON — including oversleeping, illness, travel, time-zone changes, device problems, low battery, silent or Do Not Disturb modes, alarm or notification failures, network outages, or accidental activation. By enabling Hardcore Mode and confirming the deposit, you expressly acknowledge and accept this condition. The forfeiture is the product: it is what makes the commitment real.
Opting out. You may withdraw your Stake at any time between Hardcore mornings for a full refund of the Stake to your original payment method, which turns Hardcore Mode off. Withdrawal is not available after a Hardcore alarm has begun ringing and before its challenge is resolved, and is not available for a Stake that has already been forfeited.
Payment processing. Stakes are deposited and refunded through PayPal, subject to PayPal’s own terms and fees. We never see or store your payment credentials. Refunds are issued for the full Stake amount; we do not charge our own fee, but we are not responsible for PayPal processing times, currency conversion, or fees imposed by PayPal or your bank.
Not gambling, not an investment. A Stake can never win, earn, or return more than the amount you deposited. There is no prize, wager against others, interest, or profit of any kind. Hardcore Mode is a unilateral commitment device, not gambling, gaming, betting, a financial product, or an investment.
Not escrow. Deposited Stakes are not held in escrow or in a segregated account, and are not insured. Your sole entitlement with respect to a Stake is a refund of an armed (non-forfeited) Stake upon withdrawal, as described above.
Alarms are not fail-safe. Section 5 applies fully to Hardcore Mode. Alarm delivery depends on your device and settings. You accept the risk that a technical failure may count as a Miss, and you agree not to arm a Stake you cannot afford to lose.
Chargebacks. Initiating a payment dispute or chargeback for a properly forfeited Stake is a breach of these Terms and grounds for account termination.
Availability and limits. Hardcore Mode may not be available in all regions, may have minimum and maximum Stake amounts, and may be modified, suspended, or discontinued at any time. If we discontinue Hardcore Mode entirely, armed (non-forfeited) Stakes will be refunded.
Age. You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, if higher) to use Hardcore Mode.
9. Promotional and Creator Codes
We may issue promotional or creator codes granting temporary access to paid features. Codes are discretionary, non-transferable, have no cash value, may be limited in number, duration, and eligibility, and may be modified, suspended, or revoked at any time, including for suspected abuse. One redemption per account unless we state otherwise.
10. AI-Generated Content
Some features generate content automatically using artificial intelligence. AI output may be inaccurate, incomplete, or unsuitable for your circumstances, and is provided for informational and motivational purposes only. It is not professional, medical, psychological, legal, or financial advice. You are solely responsible for how you use AI output.
11. Your Content
You retain ownership of content you create in the Service (for example your name, handle, bio, avatar, goals, and messages). You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, process, transmit, and display that content solely to operate and improve the Service (for example showing your handle on a leaderboard). Where messages are end-to-end encrypted, we store only encrypted data we cannot read. You represent that you have the rights to any content you submit.
12. Acceptable Use
You agree not to: (a) harass, threaten, or abuse others; (b) submit unlawful, infringing, hateful, or sexually exploitative content; (c) impersonate any person or misrepresent affiliation; (d) spam, scrape, or harvest data; (e) cheat, exploit bugs, or manipulate XP, credits, streaks, leaderboards, or code redemptions; (f) interfere with or disrupt the Service or its security; (g) reverse engineer, decompile, or create derivative works of the App except where such restriction is prohibited by law; (h) use the Service for any unlawful purpose; or (i) circumvent access controls or usage limits. We may investigate violations and suspend or terminate offending accounts.
13. Intellectual Property
The Service, including its software, design, branding, text, graphics, and all related intellectual property, is owned by us or our licensors and protected by law. We grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App on Apple-branded devices you own or control, in accordance with these Terms and the App Store terms. All rights not expressly granted are reserved. “Method” and associated marks may not be used without our prior written consent.
14. Third-Party Services
The Service depends on third-party services (including Apple, Supabase, Superwall, and OpenAI). We are not responsible for third-party services, their availability, or their acts or omissions. Your use of third-party services may be subject to their own terms.
15. Termination
You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time in the App. We may suspend or terminate your access (including deleting inactive or violating accounts) at any time, with or without notice, for any reason, including breach of these Terms. Upon termination, your license to the App ends and Sections 4 through 7, 10 through 13, and 16 through 21 survive.
16. Disclaimer of Warranties
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AND UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT ALARMS WILL FIRE, THAT BLOCKING WILL HOLD, THAT REP COUNTING WILL BE ACCURATE, OR THAT DATA WILL NEVER BE LOST. BACK UP ANYTHING IMPORTANT.
17. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW: (A) WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, LOST OPPORTUNITIES, PERSONAL INJURY, OR MISSED OBLIGATIONS, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE; AND (B) OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AROSE OR TEN (10) US DOLLARS. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU; IN THAT CASE LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED.
Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law.
18. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your content, your use or misuse of the Service, or your violation of these Terms or applicable law.
19. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Israel, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be resolved by binding arbitration in Israel, on an individual basis. YOU AND WE WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Where mandatory consumer-protection law of your country of residence grants you non-waivable rights or venue, those rights remain unaffected.
20. Apple App Store Terms
These Terms are between you and us, not Apple. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the App and is not responsible for the App or its content, for any product-liability, legal, or regulatory claims, or for third-party intellectual-property claims. Apple’s sole warranty obligation, where applicable, is to refund the purchase price upon a warranty failure. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you. You represent that you are not located in an embargoed country and are not on any prohibited-party list, and you agree to comply with all applicable third-party terms when using the App.
21. General
If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remainder stays in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service. We may update these Terms from time to time; material changes will be indicated by updating the effective date and, where appropriate, notice in the App. Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
