Terms of Use

These terms govern your use of the Do Instead browser extension and iOS app published by Groei B.V. By installing or using the product you agree to them.

1. What Do Instead is

Do Instead is a self-imposed distraction blocker: you choose sites and apps to block, and at the moment of interception the product shows your own tasks and alternative activities. It connects, at your option, to task services you already use. Do Instead is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Doist (Todoist), Apple, Google, or Mozilla.

2. A speed bump, not a guarantee

Do Instead is a tool for your own intentions. It is not tamper-proof and does not claim to be. Blocking can be bypassed by disabling the extension, uninstalling the app, using another browser or device, or (by design) the snooze button. Interception on iOS outside strict mode relies on Shortcuts automations you set up yourself, and strict mode depends on Apple’s Screen Time framework. We do not guarantee that any particular site or app will always be blocked, and the product is not a parental-control or workplace-compliance tool.

3. Your task services

Connecting Todoist requires your own Todoist account and personal API token; your use of Todoist remains subject to Doist’s terms. Apple Reminders access is granted and revocable through iOS permissions. You are responsible for the safekeeping of tokens and transfer codes you export.

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to: use the product to interfere with devices or accounts you do not manage; reverse engineer the product except where the law permits; or use it where prohibited by law.

5. Free features, trial and subscription

• The browser extension is free.
• Pro (iOS). Strict mode and the Todoist integration in the iOS app require the Pro auto-renewable subscription: $9.99/year after a 7-day free trial. Prices in other currencies follow Apple’s price tiers and are shown in the app before purchase.
• Billing. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase; the trial converts unless cancelled at least 24 hours before it ends. Manage or cancel in your device’s subscription settings. Purchases are made through Apple, and Apple’s media services terms also apply; refunds are handled by Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com.
• Restore. Use “Restore Purchases” in the app on a new or reset device signed into the same Apple Account.

6. Sync

Transfer codes move your own configuration between your own devices, locally: the code exists only on your screen or clipboard and is applied where you enter it. Keep exported codes safe — they can contain your Todoist token, as described in the Privacy Policy.

7. Disclaimer and liability

The product is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Groei B.V. is not liable for indirect or consequential damages arising from use of the product — including missed content, missed notifications, or anything you did or didn’t do while a site was blocked — and our total liability is limited to the amount you paid for the product in the twelve months before the claim arose. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including under EU consumer-protection rules.

8. Changes

We may update the product and these terms. Material changes will be announced in the store release notes; continued use after a change means acceptance.

9. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Netherlands, without affecting mandatory consumer protections of your country of residence.
