Earnit Terms of Service
Last updated: November 9, 2026
These terms are an agreement between you and Ian Duffy, who makes Earnit (“we”, “us”). By downloading or using Earnit you agree to them. If you don’t agree, don’t use Earnit. Apple’s Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies; where the two differ, these terms apply to the extent the law allows.
Earnit is not for emergencies or safety. Earnit is a productivity tool that locks apps you choose, by your own choice, until you walk a daily step goal. It is not a safety, medical or emergency product. Don’t lock apps you may need for your health, your safety, navigation or emergency communication, such as messaging apps, maps, health or medical apps, or apps for reaching emergency contacts. Earnit can’t see which apps you lock and can’t stop you from choosing them, so this is your responsibility.
Phone calls and Emergency SOS are never locked by Earnit. You get one emergency hour a day that opens your apps (Settings → Emergency unlock), and deleting the Earnit app, deleting your account, or turning off Earnit’s Screen Time access in iOS Settings removes every lock at any time.
Using Earnit
- You must be at least 13 years old to use Earnit.
- Earnit uses Apple’s Screen Time to lock the apps you pick at the time you choose, and reads your step count from Apple Health and your iPhone’s motion sensor. Step counts come from your phone and can be late, missing or wrong, and iOS can delay or lift a lock. We don’t promise that every lock, unlock or step count will be exact or on time.
- Walk safely. Pay attention to your surroundings, and don’t walk anywhere or in any way that’s unsafe for you. Talk to a doctor before starting new exercise if you have a health condition.
- Don’t misuse Earnit: don’t try to break or get around its systems or use someone else’s account. We can suspend accounts that do.
Friends and community rules
Earnit has zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive users. When you set up a profile you agree not to post names, photos or bios that are offensive, hateful, sexual, violent, or that impersonate someone else, and not to use Friends or challenges to harass anyone. Earnit filters offensive words, and you can report any profile (Report on their profile) or block someone so they can’t contact you again.
We review reports within 24 hours. When content breaks these rules we remove it, and we remove the account of anyone who posted it.
Subscriptions
Earnit needs a subscription, which you buy through Apple. Prices, free trials and renewal terms are shown before you subscribe. Subscriptions renew automatically until you cancel in your iPhone’s Settings → your name → Subscriptions, at least 24 hours before the renewal date. Refunds are handled by Apple under its policies. Deleting your account or the app doesn’t cancel a subscription.
Your content
You own what you add to Earnit, like your name, photo and bio. You let us store and show it to the people Earnit shares it with (see the Privacy Policy), only to run the app.
No warranty
Earnit is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose, to the fullest extent the law allows.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or for any harm that comes from apps being locked or unlocked, including being unable to reach an app when you wanted to. Our total liability for any claim about Earnit is limited to the amount you paid for Earnit in the 12 months before the claim, or $50, whichever is greater. Some places don’t allow these limits, so they may not all apply to you.
Disputes: arbitration and class action waiver
Please contact us first at gasolinesucks@gmail.com; most problems can be fixed that way. If we can’t settle a dispute within 60 days, you and we agree to resolve it by binding individual arbitration instead of in court, except that either of us may bring an individual claim in small claims court. You and we each give up the right to a jury trial and to take part in a class action or class arbitration. You can opt out of this arbitration agreement by emailing us within 30 days of first agreeing to these terms.
Ending
You can stop using Earnit and delete your account at any time in Settings → Account → Delete account. We may stop offering Earnit or close accounts that break these terms.
Changes
If we change these terms, we’ll update the date at the top. Using Earnit after a change means you accept the new terms.
