Terms of Service
Effective October 16, 2026. These terms are between you and LYTE App, LLC.
The service
Way Out lets you lock the apps on your own iPhone and ask people you choose (allies) to unlock it early. A lock always ends by itself after the safety timer you picked. Phone and Messages keep working during a lock, and emergency calls are never blocked. Way Out is free during testing.
Your part
- You must be 18 or older and use Way Out only on your own phone.
- Only invite people you know who you expect will want to help. Each ally must accept your invite before we text them.
- Keep your sign-in secure, and don't misuse the service or try to break it.
Allies
Allies need no app or account. By accepting an invite, an ally agrees to our text message terms. An ally can only end a lock early; no one can lock your phone except you.
Not a crisis service
Way Out is a self-help tool, not medical, counseling or emergency care. If you or someone else is in danger, call 911. In the US you can call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
No guarantee
Way Out depends on Apple's Screen Time system, your phone, mobile networks and text-message delivery, which we don't control. Texts and notifications can be delayed. The service is provided "as is", and to the extent the law allows, LYTE App, LLC is not liable for indirect or consequential damages, and our total liability is limited to the amount you paid us in the last 12 months.
Ending
You can delete your account in the app at any time. We may suspend accounts that misuse the service. We may update these terms and will post the new date here.
