doomscroll.aiTerms of use
Last updated November 11, 2026. These terms are the agreement between you and the founder of doomscroll.ai ("we", "us") for using doomscroll.ai: the Android and iPhone apps, this website and our server. By using doomscroll.ai you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use it.
1. Who we are
doomscroll.ai is run by its founder, an individual based in the United Kingdom (a limited company is being registered, and we'll update these details when it is). Contact: [email protected].
2. Who can use it
You must be at least 13. If you're under 18, you need a parent's or guardian's permission, and they're responsible for any purchases. doomscroll.ai is for your own use on your own device; it isn't a tool for monitoring someone else.
3. What doomscroll.ai is, and isn't
doomscroll.ai helps you keep to screen time limits you set yourself, with texts, calls, a full screen pause before apps you've gone over on ("the door"), a game of angels and ghouls, and humour. It is not a medical device and doesn't diagnose, treat or cure anything, including phone or social media "addiction", anxiety, depression or sleep problems. It's not a substitute for professional advice. If your phone use is seriously affecting your health or wellbeing, please talk to a doctor or a qualified professional.
We can't promise any particular result. How well texts, calls and reminders work depends on your device, its settings and permissions (such as notifications, usage access and battery settings), which you control. On iPhone, some features rely on figures you enter yourself.
4. Your account, data and privacy
doomscroll.ai doesn't require an account. Most of your data stays on your phone. How we handle the data we do receive is set out in our privacy policy.
5. Your subscription
- One plan, paid yearly or monthly. doomscroll.ai is a subscription sold through Google Play or the Apple App Store. In the UK it costs £1.99 a month, or £17.99 a year (£11.99 a year with the First Souls offer in section 5a); in other countries the store shows the local price before you confirm. Everything in the app is included either way. There are no other plans and no in-app purchases.
- Your first month is free. When you subscribe for the first time you get one month free. Unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the free month ends, your subscription starts and you're charged the price of the plan you chose (yearly or monthly). Google or Apple decides who is eligible for a free month (usually once per store account).
- Without a subscription. When your free month or paid subscription ends, doomscroll.ai stops watching your apps (no texts, calls or door) until you subscribe again. Your progress, calendar and settings stay on your phone.
- Renewal. Your subscription renews at the end of each period (a year or a month) at the then current price unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the period ends.
- Cancelling. You manage and cancel your subscription in your Google Play or Apple ID account settings. Deleting the app doesn't cancel it. If you cancel, you keep access until the end of the period you've paid for.
- Refunds are handled by Google or Apple under their policies. Nothing in these terms affects your legal rights as a consumer.
- Price changes. We'll give you notice through the store before a price change affects your subscription, and you can cancel before it takes effect.
5a. Launch offer ("First Souls")
For new customers, the yearly plan costs £11.99 a year in the UK instead of £17.99 for the first 14 days after you first open doomscroll.ai on your phone. The app shows a countdown to the end of your 14 days. If you start a yearly subscription in that time, you keep the £11.99 price at each renewal for as long as your subscription stays active. If you cancel and later subscribe again, the price at that time applies. The countdown shows the real end of your offer; it does not reset.
5b. Founding member offer
The people in the top 1,000 places of the waitlist when doomscroll.ai launches on their platform get their first three months free, instead of the usual one. Your place in line is the order you joined (duplicate or fake sign ups don't count). You claim it in the app: enter the email you joined the waitlist with, and we email you a 6-digit code to confirm it's yours. On Android the 3 free months are applied when you subscribe through Google Play; on iPhone the app gives you a one-time App Store offer code to redeem. One per person and per email address, on up to 3 devices. It's a free period of the standard subscription: if you don't cancel at least 24 hours before it ends, it renews at the standard price of the plan, as described above. The offer has no cash value, can't be exchanged, and we may cancel codes we believe were obtained by fake or automated sign ups.
6. AI-generated content
With live roasts, the Grim Swiper's replies are written by an AI system in real time. They're meant to be funny and you can choose how harsh they are, but they can be inaccurate, unexpected or not to your taste. Don't rely on them for advice of any kind. Don't type sensitive personal information (such as health details or passwords) into a call.
7. Acceptable use
Don't misuse doomscroll.ai: for example by attacking, overloading or reverse-engineering our server, getting around fair-use limits, extracting keys or data, or using it in a way that breaks the law.
8. Our content
doomscroll.ai, including the Grim Swiper, his art, voices, writing and code, belongs to us or our licensors. You may use it for your personal use of the app, and share screenshots for non commercial purposes.
9. Availability and changes
We work to keep doomscroll.ai running but can't guarantee it will always be available or error-free. We may change, add or remove features. If we make a change that significantly reduces a paid feature, we'll tell you in advance and you can cancel.
10. Liability
Nothing in these terms limits liability that can't legally be limited, including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or your statutory rights as a consumer. Otherwise, we aren't responsible for losses that weren't foreseeable, for business losses, or for anything caused by your device, its settings or other apps. Our total liability to you is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim.
11. Ending
You can stop using doomscroll.ai at any time by deleting it (and cancelling any subscription in your store account). We may suspend access if you seriously or repeatedly break these terms.
12. Law
These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. If you live elsewhere in the UK or the EU, you may also bring a claim in your local courts and keep the protection of your local consumer law.
13. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. If a change matters, we'll update the date above and tell you in the app before it applies. Continuing to use doomscroll.ai after that means you accept the updated terms.
14. The waitlist
Joining the waitlist is free and doesn't commit you to anything. We'll email you when doomscroll.ai launches; you can ask to be removed at any time. Places in line go in the order people joined.
15. TikTok and other platforms
We publish our own content to TikTok, YouTube, Instagram and LinkedIn using their official APIs. Anything published through our tools is posted only by deliberate action of the account owner, and must follow each platform's own rules, including the TikTok Terms of Service and Community Guidelines. These platforms are run by third parties; we're not responsible for their services, and your use of them is governed by their terms. How we handle data from these platforms is set out in our privacy policy.
