By downloading, installing, or using SteadyFocus ("the App"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the App.
These Terms apply to all users of SteadyFocus, including users of the free tier, Plus, and Pro subscriptions. These Terms should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated via an in-app notification. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance.
SteadyFocus is a habit tracking, focus timer, and AI coaching Android application developed by David Hildebrand, trading as Orivent Studios ("we", "us", "our"), based in Cape Town, South Africa.
The App offers three tiers:
We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the App at any time with reasonable notice where possible.
Using SteadyFocus does not require an account. However, to access AI features (Pattern Scout and AI Coach), you must sign in with a Google account. By signing in, you agree to Google's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
You are responsible for maintaining the security of your Google account. We are not liable for any loss resulting from unauthorised access to your account.
You may use only one account per person. Creating multiple accounts to exploit free trial features is prohibited.
All purchases are processed through Google Play. By making a purchase, you also agree to Google Play's Terms of Service. We do not store or process payment information directly.
SteadyFocus Plus is a one-time non-recurring purchase. Once purchased, Plus features are available indefinitely on your device and any device signed into the same Google Play account. This is not a subscription.
SteadyFocus Pro is billed monthly. Your subscription auto-renews unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the billing period. You can manage and cancel your subscription at any time through Google Play's subscription management.
Scout credit packs (5 or 10 credits) are one-time consumable purchases. Credits do not expire but are consumed when used for Pattern Scout searches. Credits are non-refundable once used.
Refund requests are handled by Google Play in accordance with their refund policy. For app-related issues that prevent you from using a feature you paid for, please contact us at support@oriventstudios.com and we will do our best to resolve the issue.
If you reinstall the App or switch devices, you can restore your previous purchases via Library → Store → Restore Purchases, provided you are signed in with the same Google Play account.
You agree not to:
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access if you violate these terms.
The AI features in SteadyFocus — Pattern Scout and AI Coach — are provided for habit guidance and productivity purposes only. They are not a substitute for professional advice of any kind.
The AI does not provide:
The AI suggests habits and routines to help you build better daily practices. For any health, mental health, financial, or other professional concerns, always consult qualified professionals.
AI-generated content may contain errors or inaccuracies. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or suitability of any AI-generated suggestion for your specific circumstances. You use AI features at your own risk and discretion.
The App, including its code, design, graphics, text, and branding (including the SteadyFocus name and logo), is owned by David Hildebrand / Orivent Studios and is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws.
You retain ownership of all habit data and content you create within the App. By using cloud features, you grant us a limited licence to process and store that data for the purpose of providing the service.
You may not use the SteadyFocus name, logo, or branding without prior written permission.
THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.
We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses or other harmful components. We do not warrant that any data stored in the App will be preserved indefinitely.
Your use of the App is at your sole risk.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ORIVENT STUDIOS AND DAVID HILDEBRAND SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF PROFITS, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE APP.
OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIMS ARISING FROM THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE APP SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE APP IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or limitations of liability, so some of the above may not apply to you.
You may stop using the App at any time by uninstalling it. To cancel a Pro subscription, do so through Google Play's subscription management before the next billing date.
We may terminate or suspend your access to cloud features (AI Coach, Pattern Scout) if you violate these Terms, at our sole discretion, with or without notice.
On termination, your locally stored data remains on your device until you uninstall the App. Cloud data deletion can be requested as described in our Privacy Policy.
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of South Africa, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
Any disputes arising from these Terms or your use of the App shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of South Africa, specifically the Western Cape Division of the High Court.
