Beneath stillness, everything moves.

Please read these Terms carefully. They limit the operator of Resting State’s liability and your legal remedies. By downloading, installing, accessing, or using Resting State, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy on this page. If you do not agree, do not use the app.

1. Who we are

“Resting State,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to the operator of Resting State. “You” means the individual using the app. The app is distributed through the Apple App Store. Apple is not a party to these Terms and is not responsible for the app or its content.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract. The app is not intended for minors. By using Resting State, you represent that you meet these requirements.

3. License

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use Resting State on Apple-branded devices you own or control, solely for personal, non-commercial use, and only as permitted by these Terms and Apple’s App Store terms. You may not copy, modify, reverse engineer, resell, or use the app for any unlawful purpose.

4. Entertainment only (no health purpose)

RESTING STATE IS PROVIDED SOLELY FOR ENTERTAINMENT, AMUSEMENT, AND CASUAL PERSONAL INTEREST. IT IS NOT A HEALTH APP, WELLNESS SERVICE, MEDICAL DEVICE, CLINICAL TOOL, ADDICTION PROGRAM, MENTAL HEALTH SERVICE, OR SAFETY PRODUCT. WE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ANY INTENT OR REPRESENTATION THAT THE APP MONITORS, IMPROVES, PROTECTS, OR INFORMS YOUR PHYSICAL OR MENTAL HEALTH, SUBSTANCE USE, OR HABITS IN ANY MEANINGFUL WAY.

Labels in the interface (for example “brain,” “neuroplasticity,” “recovery,” “phase,” or substance names) are part of the entertainment presentation. They are not measurements of you, not a clinical workup, and not a promise that any science described applies to your situation.

5. Content may be wrong (no reliance)

Timers, scores, percentages, timelines, insights, comparisons, and feed entries may be incomplete, simplified, outdated, or wrong. We do not guarantee accuracy, completeness, or usefulness. Content is generalized, not tailored to you, and is not a substitute for research, journalism, or professional guidance of any kind.

You agree not to rely on Resting State for any purpose, especially any health, safety, legal, financial, or substance-related decision. If you need factual information or care, use qualified sources and licensed professionals, not this app.

6. No medical relationship, not a medical device, emergencies

Resting State does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, detox, counseling, or emergency services. We are not healthcare providers. Nothing in the app creates a professional relationship. The app is not FDA-cleared or approved and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, mitigate, or prevent any condition.

Do not use Resting State for medical, mental health, addiction, pregnancy, driving, operating machinery, or any safety-critical purpose. We are not responsible if you do.

Crisis resources (third parties; we do not operate or endorse them): In the U.S., SAMHSA National Helpline 1-800-662-4357. For emergencies, call 911 (or your local emergency number).

7. Tracks (substances, habits, etc.)

Track names and related copy may reference alcohol, nicotine, cannabis, caffeine, gaming, screens, or similar topics as part of the entertainment experience. That copy may be wrong or inapplicable to you. It is not encouragement, instruction, or an assessment of your behavior. We do not tell you to start, stop, or change any substance or habit. You alone are responsible for your conduct in the real world.

8. Your assumption of risk

You use Resting State voluntarily and at your sole risk. You waive any expectation that the app is accurate, beneficial, or appropriate for you. You will not interpret the app as making any promise, warranty, or representation about your body, mind, habits, or safety.

9. Disclaimers of warranties

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, RESTING STATE AND ALL RELATED CONTENT AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITH ALL FAULTS, AND WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, OR QUIET ENJOYMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED.

10. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL WE OR OUR AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, OR SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, OR FOR ANY PERSONAL INJURY, EMOTIONAL DISTRESS, OR HEALTH-RELATED HARM, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE RESTING STATE (INCLUDING YOUR INTERPRETATION OF THE APP AS HEALTH-RELATED), WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER THEORY, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO RESTING STATE OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE APP IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM (IF ANY), OR (B) FIFTY U.S. DOLLARS (US$50). THE APP MAY BE OFFERED AT NO CHARGE. IN THAT CASE, OUR LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW AND, WHERE PERMITTED, TO US$50.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations. In those jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the fullest extent permitted by law.

11. Indemnification

To the maximum extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless us and our affiliates, officers, directors, employees, contractors, and agents from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use or misuse of Resting State. (b) your violation of these Terms. (c) your violation of any law or third-party right, or (d) any dispute or harm connected with your health, habits, or substance use, except to the extent finally determined to result from our gross negligence or willful misconduct where such limitation cannot be disclaimed.

12. Apple App Store

You acknowledge that these Terms are between you and us, not Apple. Apple has no obligation to furnish maintenance or support for Resting State. Apple is not responsible for product claims, intellectual property claims, or third-party claims relating to the app. You will comply with applicable App Store terms. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.

13. Changes and termination

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue Resting State or these Terms at any time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the “Last updated” date on this page. Your continued use after changes constitutes acceptance. We may terminate or restrict your access if you violate these Terms. Sections that by their nature should survive will survive termination (including disclaimers, limitations of liability, and indemnification).

14. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, except where mandatory consumer protection laws in your place of residence apply and cannot be waived. Except where prohibited, you agree that any dispute arising out of these Terms or Resting State will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Delaware, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you waive any right to participate in a class, collective, or representative action against us.

Scope

This policy describes how we handle information in connection with Resting State. It is incorporated into the Terms of use. We describe our practices in good faith. If this policy conflicts with the Terms, the Terms control for liability purposes.

What stays on your device

The app stores timer state, streaks, engagement metrics, and cached insight content locally (for example, UserDefaults and files in Application Support). We design the app so this information is not transmitted to our servers during normal use. Features may change in future versions. We will update this policy if we introduce collection or sharing.

What we do not do (current version)

As of the date above, we do not require an account, do not sell personal information, and do not integrate third-party advertising or analytics SDKs in the app. We do not use your on-device timer or feed content to train third-party AI models.

Support communications

If you email us, we receive what you send (which may include your email address, message content, and technical details you choose to include). We use that information only to respond, troubleshoot, and improve the app. We do not guarantee a particular response time.

Security

No method of storage or transmission is completely secure. We cannot guarantee that unauthorized access, loss, or alteration will never occur, including on your device or in backups you control (such as iCloud).

Age

Resting State is for users 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18.

Changes

We may update this policy by posting a revised version on this page. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance where permitted by law.

Common questions

How do I start a timer?

Timers tab → + → choose a track → set start time → confirm. One active timer per track may be available depending on version.

How do I reset or end a session?

Open the timer and use reset or end session. Confirmation may be required. Effects are limited to on-device timer state.

Account or internet required?

No account for core timer features. Offline use may be possible. Opening this page or email requires a network connection.

Where is data stored?

Primarily on your device. Deleting the app may remove local data. Device backups may retain copies according to your settings.
