Terms of Use

Last updated: September 9, 2026

These terms apply to the Marshmallow iOS app, the website at themarshmallow.app, and the waitlist. By using any of them you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use Marshmallow.

Apple also applies its own Licensed Application End User License Agreement to apps downloaded from the App Store. Where these terms are silent, that agreement applies.

Your account

You need an account to use Marshmallow. You must be at least 13 years old, or older if the law where you live requires it. Keep your credentials to yourself; you are responsible for what happens under your account. You can delete your account at any time from Settings in the app.

What Marshmallow does, and what it does not

Marshmallow blocks apps you choose, on your own device, using Apple's Screen Time APIs. It is a self-control aid, not a security product and not a parental control product.

Blocking depends on features of iOS that we do not control. It can be interrupted by an iOS update, by revoking Screen Time permission, by deleting the app, or by a bug. Marshmallow is not a guarantee that you will be unable to open an app, and it is not a substitute for medical, psychological, or addiction treatment. If your relationship with your phone is causing you serious harm, please talk to a professional.

Marshmallow Premium

• Premium is an auto-renewable subscription, offered monthly or yearly, and sold through your Apple ID.
• Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. If a free trial is offered and you subscribe during it, any unused portion of the trial is forfeited when you purchase.
• The subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your Apple ID is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends.
• You can manage or cancel your subscription in iOS Settings → your name → Subscriptions, or from Settings inside the app.
• Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription. Refunds are handled by Apple under its own policies, not by us.
• Prices may change. We will tell you before a change affects a renewal, and you can cancel if you do not want to continue.

Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• use Marshmallow to monitor or restrict another person without their knowledge and consent;
• reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to defeat the app's licensing or subscription checks;
• abuse the waitlist form, scrape or extract other users' data, or attempt to access accounts that are not yours;
• interfere with, overload, or disrupt our services.

Your content

Your sessions, schedules, profile, and stats are yours. You grant us only the permission needed to store and display them so the app works for you and for the friends you choose to connect with. We handle them as described in our Privacy Policy.

Availability and changes

We may add, change, or remove features, and we may suspend the service for maintenance. We may end an account that materially breaches these terms, usually after telling you why. Joining the waitlist does not guarantee access, pricing, or launch timing.

Disclaimer and liability

Marshmallow is provided “as is”, without warranties of any kind to the fullest extent the law allows. We are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, or for anything arising from a block failing to apply. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law, and if you are a consumer you keep the rights your local law gives you.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as Marshmallow evolves. We will change the date at the top, and material changes will be announced in the app. Continuing to use Marshmallow after a change means you accept the updated terms.
