Welcome to Spool ("the App"). By downloading or using the App, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service.
The standard subscription options are:
Standard US prices in USD: US$4.99 billed every week, or US$44.99 billed once per year. Prices and applicable taxes may vary by country or offer. The exact price and billing terms are displayed before you confirm an App Store purchase.
Standard subscriptions do not include a free trial and are charged upon purchase confirmation. If an eligible introductory trial or promotional offer is expressly shown before purchase, the terms displayed with that offer apply.
Apple processes App Store subscription payments through your Apple Account.
Subscriptions automatically renew unless canceled under Apple’s applicable subscription terms. To manage or cancel, open iPhone Settings → your name → Subscriptions → Spool and follow the options shown. Deleting Spool does not cancel your subscription. See Apple’s subscription-management instructions.
Canceling stops future renewal; it does not automatically refund an existing charge. Paid access ordinarily continues through the purchased period unless the purchase is refunded, revoked, or otherwise ends under applicable terms. Trial cancellation can affect access differently: you may lose trial access when you cancel. If an eligible trial is offered and you do not want it to renew, Apple advises canceling at least 24 hours before it ends. Follow the terms displayed with your offer and Apple’s guidance for your country or region.
Request an App Store refund through reportaproblem.apple.com; see Apple’s refund instructions. Apple decides requests under its policies and applicable law. Eligibility varies by purchase and country or region. Nothing in these Terms limits mandatory consumer rights.
An expectation that Focus Web changes a separate native social app does not, by itself, establish a product defect. This distinction does not dismiss misleading advertising, actual failures, or applicable refund rights. Please report a problem to team@thespoolapp.com so the specific circumstances can be reviewed.
When Apple assesses an App Store refund request, Spool may provide relevant purchase and app-use information, directly or through its subscription service provider, and a recommendation. This may include purchase and subscription identifiers, purchase dates and access status, whether content or features were delivered or used, and relevant setup, usage, or reported-failure information. Apple makes the final refund decision under its policies and applicable law.
Any required affirmative consent for refund-data sharing is separate from acceptance of these Terms or this Privacy Policy. Signing up, paying, using the app, or requesting a refund does not by itself establish that consent. Accepting Terms, configuring blocking, or briefly using a feature does not automatically remove refund eligibility.
To withdraw refund-data-sharing consent, email team@thespoolapp.com. Withdrawal concerns future sharing; it does not itself cancel a subscription, delete an account, or reverse information already sent. Email requests require support handling; sending an email is not confirmation that processing is complete.
Focus Web filters selected feeds and features only when you open a supported social-media website inside Spool. Depending on the settings you enable and the supported web interface, its controls include:
These filters do not change the separate native Instagram, YouTube, X, Snapchat, or Facebook apps. To restrict a native app, you must separately select it in Spool's app-blocking setup, grant the required iOS Screen Time access, and enable the applicable blocking settings or schedule. Native-app blocking and Focus Web filtering are different features. See how Focus Web works.
The App uses third-party service providers to authenticate accounts, process subscriptions, analyze product usage, and measure and optimize our advertising. These include AppsFlyer, Meta (Facebook), Firebase (Google), RevenueCat, and PostHog. With your permission through Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt, we access your device advertising identifier (IDFA) and share product-interaction and purchase events with our advertising and measurement partners, which may involve tracking across apps and websites owned by other companies. You can decline or withdraw this permission at any time through the App Tracking Transparency prompt or in iOS Settings. How we collect, use, and share this data — and how to opt out — is described in our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. Acknowledging these Terms or the Privacy Policy is not a substitute for any separately required permission or affirmative consent.
Spool is not intended for children under 13. If you are 13 or older but have not reached the age required to enter into these Terms where you live, a parent or guardian must agree to these Terms for you. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account.
You agree not to:
You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.
We reserve the right to:
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any statutory warranty, remedy, liability, or consumer right that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, the App is provided "as is" without additional warranties, and our responsibility is limited for:
We reserve the right to terminate or suspend access to the App for violations of these Terms or other lawful reasons, subject to applicable notice, refund, and consumer-rights requirements.
