Terms and refunds

What you get when you buy FocusNod, how pre-orders work, and how to get your money back. In plain words.

Effective

The short version

  • One payment of $29 ($23 for the first 100 customers) for a license that works on up to 2 of your Macs, with a year of updates. It keeps working after that.
  • Pre-orders get a full refund any time before launch, and for 7 days after. If FocusNod doesn’t ship, everyone is refunded without asking.
  • Polar, our merchant of record, takes the payment, handles tax and sends your receipt.
  • FocusNod nudges; it never blocks. It isn’t a medical device.

Who you’re buying from

FocusNod is made by DRISH LABS. Payments are processed by Polar, the merchant of record: it sells you the license on our behalf, collects any sales tax or VAT, and issues your receipt. Polar’s terms also apply to the payment.

What a license includes

  • Up to 2 Macs. One license works on up to two Macs you own or use.
  • A year of updates, from the day you activate. The version you have keeps working after that.
  • The built-in AI checks, with no API key and no subscription.
  • For one person. Licenses are for personal use and can’t be resold or shared.

Price and founder pre-orders

  • The price. A license costs $29. The first 100 customers pay $23: the code FIRST100 is applied automatically at checkout.
  • When it works. FocusNod is planned to launch in October 2026. Your license key is issued when you pay and activates in the app once it ships.
  • If it doesn’t ship, we refund every pre-order in full, without you needing to ask.
  • Things may change. Features described before launch may change as we build and test. We’ll say so on this site.

Refunds

  • Pre-orders: a full refund any time before launch, and for 7 days after launch.
  • Purchases after launch: a full refund within 7 days, no questions asked.
  • How to ask: email hello@focusnod.com from the address you bought with, or reply to your Polar receipt.
  • What happens: the money goes back to how you paid, and the license is deactivated.

The AI part

FocusNod’s checks rely on our server and a third-party AI model. If a service is down, the app fails open: it pauses the questions rather than guessing, and never blocks you.

We may switch AI providers to keep the service running, without changing what the app reads. A fair-use daily cap on checks per license prevents abuse and is set far above normal use.

No medical claims

FocusNod is a focus and habit tool. It isn’t a medical device and doesn’t treat any condition.

Warranty and liability

FocusNod is provided as is. As far as the law allows, our total liability for any claim about the app is limited to what you paid for it. Nothing here limits rights you have under consumer law where you live.

Changes to these terms

If these terms change, this page and its effective date change with them. A change never reduces what you already bought.

Questions, or want a refund?

Write from the address you bought with, or reply to your Polar receipt. It’s read by the person who writes the app.
