Terms of Service

Future You

Last Updated: June 18, 2026

Operated by GS Digital LLC, a Massachusetts Limited Liability Company

Agreement to Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you and GS Digital LLC ("Company", "we", "our", or "us"), the operator of the Future You mobile application and related services (collectively, the "Service").

By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or use the Service.

Eligibility

To use Future You, you must:

  • Be at least 18 years of age
  • Be a resident of the United States
  • Have the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract
  • Not be prohibited from using the Service under applicable federal, state, or local laws
  • Provide accurate and complete registration information
  • Successfully complete identity verification as required by our banking infrastructure partner
  • Maintain the security of your account credentials

Future You is not available to users under the age of 18 under any circumstances.

How Future You Works

3.1 The Behavioral Trigger System

Future You is a behavioral finance application that creates financial accountability around phone usage habits. During onboarding you configure "triggers" — specific phone behaviors you want to discourage, such as unlocking your phone or opening social media apps. Each time a trigger occurs, a small amount of money you specify is automatically moved from your linked bank account into your Future You savings vault.

Triggers are detected through Apple Shortcuts automations that you set up on your iPhone during onboarding. These automations run locally on your device and send a trigger signal to our servers when the specified event occurs. The accuracy of trigger detection depends on your device settings, iOS version, and whether your Shortcuts automations remain active. We are not responsible for missed triggers resulting from disabled or deleted automations, iOS updates, or device issues.

3.2 The Savings Vault

When you set up a vault, you choose an unlock date — the date on which your accumulated savings become available for withdrawal. Between vault creation and the unlock date, your funds are held in a savings account managed by our licensed banking infrastructure partner. Your vault balance is FDIC-insured up to $250,000.

GS Digital LLC does not hold, custody, or have direct access to your funds at any time. All funds are held exclusively by our banking infrastructure partner.

3.3 Early Withdrawal

You retain the legal right to access your funds at any time. Future You does not permanently restrict access to your money. However, the Service is designed to discourage early withdrawal through the following friction mechanism:

If you request withdrawal of funds before your vault's unlock date, a mandatory waiting period will apply before the funds are returned to your linked bank account. The duration of this waiting period is disclosed to you during vault setup and is part of the commitment you make when creating your vault.

By setting up a vault and agreeing to these Terms, you acknowledge and accept this early withdrawal waiting period. No penalty fee is charged for early withdrawal beyond the waiting period itself.

3.4 Trigger Cooldowns and Daily Limits

Each trigger has a configurable cooldown period to prevent repeated charges from the same trigger event in rapid succession. You also set a daily maximum savings amount during onboarding. These settings are locked for the duration of your vault period and may only be modified subject to the terms described in Section 5.3.

Financial Terms

4.1 Banking Partners

All savings accounts, fund custody, identity verification, and ACH transfers are provided by our licensed banking infrastructure partner. By using the Future You savings vault, you also agree to our banking partner's terms of service and privacy policy, which are presented to you during onboarding. Your savings account is subject to those terms in addition to these Terms.

Bank account linking and ACH transfer initiation are facilitated by our bank connectivity partner. By linking your bank account, you agree to that partner's end user privacy policy, which is presented to you during the bank linking process.

4.2 ACH Transfers

When a trigger fires, Future You initiates an ACH debit from your linked bank account for the configured trigger amount. ACH transfers typically settle within 1-3 business days. Future You and its partners are not responsible for:

  • Overdraft fees or insufficient fund charges imposed by your bank
  • Delays in ACH processing caused by your bank or the ACH network
  • Failed transfers resulting from incorrect bank account information

You are responsible for maintaining sufficient funds in your linked bank account to cover trigger amounts. If a transfer fails due to insufficient funds, we may pause your triggers until the issue is resolved.

4.3 Minimum Transfer Amounts

Trigger amounts may be subject to minimum transfer thresholds as required by our banking partners. Any such minimums will be disclosed to you during trigger setup.

4.4 Withdrawal Processing

Vault withdrawals, including both scheduled unlocks and early withdrawals after the waiting period, are processed via ACH transfer to your linked bank account. Processing typically takes 3-5 business days from the date the withdrawal is approved. We are not responsible for delays caused by your bank or the ACH network.

5. Subscription and Fees

5.1 Subscription Plans

Future You offers the following subscription plans:

  • Free: Access to simulated vault features with no real money movement. No charge.
  • Premium: Full access to all features including real ACH transfers, Synctera savings vault, behavioral heatmaps, vault autopsy, and blackout mode. $4.99 per month or $39.99 per year.

Subscription pricing is subject to change. We will provide at least 30 days notice before any price increase takes effect for existing subscribers.

5.2 Billing

Subscriptions are billed through Apple In-App Purchase. Your subscription will automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the renewal date. Subscription management and cancellation are handled through your Apple ID account settings. Apple's standard refund policies apply to all subscription purchases.

GS Digital LLC does not directly process or store your payment information. All billing is handled by Apple.

5.3 Vault Rule Modifications

Your trigger settings — including amounts, cooldown periods, and daily limits — are locked for the duration of your vault period to preserve the integrity of your behavioral commitment. If you need to modify these settings before your vault unlocks, a fixed modification fee of $1.00 will be added to your vault balance. This fee reflects the cost of changing a commitment you made to your future self.

5.4 Refunds

Subscription fees are generally non-refundable. We may provide refunds at our sole discretion in cases of verified technical malfunction or billing errors. Refund requests must be submitted within 30 days of the charge to support@future-you.net. Trigger deposits that have already been transferred to your savings vault are not refundable through Future You — they are your own funds held in your savings account and may be withdrawn subject to the terms described in Section 3.3.
