Last updated: June 2026

Please read these Terms of Service ("Terms", "Terms of Service") carefully before using the ScreenFox website and mobile application (the "Service") operated by Deyi Rao ("us", "we", or "our").

Your access to and use of the Service is conditioned on your acceptance of and compliance with these Terms. These Terms apply to all visitors, users, and others who access or use the Service.

By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you disagree with any part of the terms, then you may not access the Service.

2. Use of the Service

2.1 Eligibility

To use the Service, you must:

• Be at least 16 years old, or have parental consent if under 16
• Have the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract
• Not be prohibited from using the Service under applicable laws

2.2 No Account Required

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your device and any device backups that may contain your ScreenFox data.

2.3 Prohibited Uses

3. How ScreenFox Works

ScreenFox is a digital wellbeing app that helps you build healthier relationships with social media and mobile apps through mindful usage, gentle restrictions, and gamification.

3.1 The Digital Fox Companion

At the center of ScreenFox is a virtual fox companion that reflects your digital wellbeing. The fox has a health point (HP) system:

• Plenty of HP: the fox is happy and smiling
• Some HP: the fox appears neutral
• Almost no HP: the fox becomes sad and starts crying
• Zero HP: access to restricted apps is blocked for the rest of the day

3.2 Daily Limits & Reset System

You define which apps to manage and set daily usage limits. HP decreases with app usage and drops to zero when limits are exceeded. At the end of each day, usage limits reset and HP is restored to 100.

3.3 Focus Sessions

Focus sessions help you regain control and restore balance. Restricted apps are blocked during focus time. Completing a session restores HP, allowing additional app usage time.

3.4 User Control

All restrictions are fully user-defined and can be changed at any time. ScreenFox is designed to support awareness and self-regulation, not enforce control.

4. Screen Time Permissions and Data Storage

ScreenFox requires access to your device's screen time data to function properly. By using the Service, you consent to:

• Granting necessary permissions to access screen time data and app usage information
• Processing this data locally on your device for gamification and habit tracking
• Storing this data locally on your device only (not on our servers)

We do not collect, transmit, or have access to your screen time data, HP status, usage history, or any other app content. This data remains on your device only. For more details, please see our Privacy Policy.
