Terms of Service

Unloop · last updated 18 October 2026

These terms cover your use of the Unloop Android app, Chrome extension and website. By signing in you accept them. Unloop is free, has no purchases, and carries no advertising.

What Unloop does

Unloop counts the short videos you watch in Instagram and YouTube, and shows its own reminder and lock overlays on top of them once you pass limits you have set. It is a self-control aid. It is not a security product, a parental-control product, or a medical or therapeutic device, and it makes no claim to treat anything.

Your account

• You sign in with Google. Keep control of that Google account; anyone with it has your Unloop data.
• One account per person. Do not share it.
• You may delete your account at any time, from Settings in the app or by the method on the deletion page. Deletion is immediate and permanent.

Acceptable use

Do not attempt to disrupt the service, submit fabricated activity data, access another person's account, or automate requests to the API beyond ordinary use of the app.

Data

Your use of Unloop is also subject to our Privacy Policy, which you should read. In particular: to detect a reel, Unloop reads the creator name shown on it where it can, and records that name against your account. It is used internally to understand aggregate viewing patterns and improve the service; it is not shown back to you in the app, and it is never sold or shared. You can delete all of it at any time by deleting your account.

Unloop interrupts you on purpose — and may fail to

Read this part properly, because it is the whole point of the app.

• Unloop deliberately obstructs Instagram and YouTube. It covers the screen and can lock you out of those feeds for a period that grows the more locks you trigger in a day. That is the intended behaviour, not a fault.
• Detection relies on Android's Accessibility Service and on how Instagram and YouTube build their screens. Either can change without notice. Detection can also be stopped by the system, by battery optimisation, or by device software that manages background apps. The extension likewise depends on how Instagram and YouTube build their pages. Unloop can silently stop counting, and can silently fail to lock.
• Do not rely on Unloop where being interrupted, or failing to be interrupted, would matter. It is not suitable for anything safety-critical, and it is not a substitute for your own judgement about when to put the phone down.

No warranty

Unloop is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose and uninterrupted or error-free operation. Counts, sessions, streaks and every other figure the app shows are best-effort estimates derived from on-device detection, and may be wrong in either direction.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Unloop and its developer are not liable for any indirect, incidental or consequential loss, or for anything you missed, lost or failed to do while the app was obstructing an app, or while it had stopped detecting. Unloop is supplied free of charge and no payment has been taken for it.

Changes and availability

The service may change, be interrupted, or be discontinued at any time. These terms may be updated; the date at the top of this page shows when. Continuing to use Unloop after a change means you accept the updated terms.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of India, and the courts of India have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from them.
