CalmDown Terms of Use

Effective date: August 19, 2026

📖 Please read these terms carefully.
Welcome to CalmDown (the "App"), provided by Kai Ma (the "Developer," "we," "us," or "our"). By using the App, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please stop using and uninstall the App.

1. The Service

CalmDown is a general wellness tool designed to help adult users pause and regulate emotions, available on Apple (iPhone / iPad / Apple Watch) and Android (1.4.6.5 and later). Depending on your device and App version, features may include:

Features, names, limits, availability, and interface designs may change between versions. The features shown in your current version control.

2. Eligibility

By using the App, you confirm that:

If you add photos, recordings, or text involving a child, partner, family member, or any other person, you are responsible for having the right to use that content and for respecting that person's privacy.

3. License and Acceptable Use

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and non-sublicensable license to use the App on Apple devices that you own or control.

You may not:

4. Your Content and Emotion Tools

You or the original rights holder retain ownership of photos, Live Photos, captions, custom messages, voice recordings, mood entries, pause checklists, angry-word drafts, recipes, and settings that you create or add.

You understand that:

5. Local Storage and iCloud

Most features can run locally. Content you create is stored on your device first. If you choose to enable iCloud Sync, supported content is stored through Apple CloudKit in the private database associated with your Apple Account for merging and restoration across your devices.

The Android version (1.4.6.5 and later) does not provide iCloud or cross-device sync; data stays primarily on-device with system auto-backup disabled, and uninstalling, clearing app data, or switching phones usually makes local content unrecoverable. Android installs via APK from the official website, and over-the-air updates must use the same signing certificate — on a signature conflict, do not uninstall the old version first. iCloud sync is an Apple-only feature; Android (1.4.6.5 and later) does not support it.

The Developer does not operate a separate server to receive, analyze, or sell this content. Apple provides iCloud, CloudKit, the App Store, StoreKit, HealthKit, Photos, notifications, Live Activities, WatchConnectivity, and other system services. Your use of those services is also subject to Apple's terms and privacy practices.

See our Privacy Policy and in-app notices for details about data, permissions, and deletion.

6. Apple Watch, Heart Rate, and Reminders

On a compatible Apple Watch, and only after you grant permission, the App can read heart-rate and resting-heart-rate data to identify an on-device trend of a sustained increase and show a non-medical reminder such as: "Your heart rate has been rising. Would you like to calm down?"

You understand that:

7. Notifications, Live Activities, and System Surfaces

With your permission, the App may display a breathing phase, countdown, cooling status, or general reminder through notifications, the Lock Screen, Dynamic Island, Live Activities, widgets, or Apple Watch.

To protect your privacy, the Angry Words Freezer Live Activity is not intended to display the full text you entered. However, people nearby may still see the App name, feature name, timer, status, or reminder text. You are responsible for choosing whether these system displays are appropriate for your environment.

8. CalmDown Pro and In-App Purchases

On Apple, CalmDown Pro is a non-consumable in-app purchase provided through Apple StoreKit. On Android (1.4.6.5 and later), Pro is redeemed via a 19-digit activation code, with each code supporting up to 2 devices simultaneously, working offline after activation with periodic online verification. App Store in-app purchase and restore purchase are Apple-only features; Android (1.4.6.5 and later) does not support them. The two platforms' entitlements are not shared: an Apple purchase does not automatically become Android Pro, and an Android code does not restore on Apple. The Apple purchase rules are as follows:

9. Third-Party Services and Connectivity

Local tools usually work offline, but the following may require internet access or Apple system services:

Temporary unavailability caused by connectivity, Apple services, operating-system versions, device compatibility, or permissions is not a breach of these Terms.

10. Health and Safety Disclaimer

The App's breathing, reminder, journaling, interaction, and heart-rate trend features are intended only for general emotional pauses and self-care. They do not provide medical advice, psychological counseling, diagnosis, treatment, or emergency assistance, and are not a substitute for a qualified professional.

If you experience severe or persistent distress, chest pain, difficulty breathing, fainting, or thoughts of harming yourself or others, stop relying on the App and immediately contact local emergency services, a medical professional, a crisis service, or a trusted person.

11. Availability and Limitation of Liability

The App is provided "as is" and "as available." We make reasonable efforts to maintain it, but do not guarantee that:

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Developer is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential losses arising from decisions made in reliance on the App, third-party service interruptions, data loss, or misuse of the App. Mandatory consumer rights remain unaffected.

12. Intellectual Property

Except for user content, the App and its text, graphics, characters, icons, animations, interface, software, and other materials are owned by the Developer or their lawful owners and are protected by applicable law.

Without written permission, you may not use App materials for commercial promotion, imitation products, training datasets, trademarks, or any purpose beyond personal use.

13. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms when features, laws, regulations, or Apple platform rules change. Updated Terms will be posted on this page with a new date. If a change materially affects your rights, we will use a reasonable notice method, such as an in-app notice.

Continued use after the effective date means that you accept the updated Terms. If you do not agree, stop using and uninstall the App.

14. Termination

You may stop using and uninstall the App at any time. If you materially violate these Terms, we may restrict relevant features or terminate the license where permitted by law.

Uninstalling generally deletes local App data but does not automatically delete data already synced to iCloud. Please manage cloud data as described in the Privacy Policy before uninstalling.

15. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the People's Republic of China. The parties should first try to resolve a dispute through good-faith discussion. If no resolution is reached, either party may bring the dispute before a court with jurisdiction where the Developer is located. Any mandatory consumer rights under applicable law remain unaffected.
