Dwar Terms of Use
Last updated 18 October 2026
These terms cover the Dwar iPhone app and the dwar.digital website. By using either, you agree to them.
The app
Dwar is provided as is, without warranties of any kind, and what it does may change as it is built.
It checks about every sixteen minutes. While Dwar is closed, it reads your latest figures about every sixteen minutes and when you tap Check again, so a gate may open a little late. A reading that is missing or old keeps a gate shut; that is the design.
You can always get out. In Settings › Screen Time, switching off Dwar’s access lifts every shield at once. Deleting Dwar does the same.
Hard mode is meant to be hard to undo. Each gate gets two 5-minute pauses a day, and moving earns longer ones: a 15-minute pause at half the gate’s goal and two more at three-quarters; nothing else adds more. A gate can be tightened any time but loosened only once that day’s goal is met, and switching Hard mode off takes a day: it switches off by itself 24 hours after you turn it off.
Don’t gate the apps you may need in a hurry: Phone, Messages, Maps, banking, or anything that sends you sign-in codes.
Apple’s terms apply too. If you install Dwar through the App Store or TestFlight, Apple’s Licensed Application End User License Agreement governs your licence to use it.
You choose what gets locked. Dwar locks the apps you pick, on the schedule and targets you set, and it is built not to let you talk your way past it. Don’t gate an app you might need in an emergency.
Dwar is not medical advice. It compares the readings Apple Health and WHOOP report with the targets you set. It doesn’t diagnose, treat or advise on anything to do with your health.
Subscriptions
Dwar Pro is sold through Apple’s In-App Purchase as a monthly or annual subscription. Prices are shown in the app before you buy. A subscription renews automatically unless you cancel it at least 24 hours before the current period ends; manage or cancel it in Settings › Apple Account › Subscriptions. Apple handles billing and refunds under its own terms. If Pro ends, one gate you pick keeps running; the others are saved, holding nothing, until Pro is back; under Hard mode every gate keeps running until it is switched off. Nothing is deleted.
Your data
What Dwar reads, where it goes and how to delete it is set out in the privacy policy.
Other services
Apple Health, Screen Time and WHOOP are provided by Apple and WHOOP under their own terms. Dwar is not made or endorsed by either.
Liability
To the extent the law allows, Dwar’s developer is not liable for any indirect or consequential loss from using the app or the website, including an app being locked when you wanted to use it.
Changes
If these terms change, this page changes first, with a new date at the top.
