Terms

LAST UPDATED · JULY 15, 2026

hangtime is a timer, not a coach. By downloading or using the app, or using this site, you agree to these terms. The short version: hanging from a bar is exercise, exercise carries risk, and you do it at your own risk. If that doesn't work for you, don't use hangtime.

Not medical advice

Nothing in the app or on this site — including the science pages, benchmarks, and any numbers about grip strength or longevity — is medical advice. It's general information about published research. Talk to a doctor before starting a new exercise routine, especially if you have a shoulder, elbow, wrist, heart, or blood-pressure condition, are pregnant, or haven't exercised in a while.

You hang at your own risk

Dead hangs load your grip, elbows, shoulders, and spine, and involve hanging above the ground. Injuries — from over-use strains to falls — are an inherent risk of the activity, and you assume that risk entirely. Progress gradually, stop if something hurts, and don't train through pain. hangtime never tells you to hang longer than your body allows; only you can judge that.

Your equipment is your responsibility

hangtime doesn't make, sell, or inspect bars, hangboards, or mounting hardware. Whatever you hang from — a doorway bar, a rig, a tree branch — it's on you to make sure it's rated for your weight, installed correctly, and safe to fall from.

The timer is best-effort

hangtime uses the camera to detect when you're hanging. It works well, but computer vision isn't perfect: lighting, framing, and clothing can affect detection, and timings may be off. hangtime is for training and fun — don't rely on it for anything where a missed or wrong measurement could cause harm.

hangtime pro

The core app is free. hangtime pro is a one-time in-app purchase handled entirely by Apple. Billing, receipts, and refunds go through the App Store under Apple's terms — we never see your payment details.

Game Center

Leaderboards and challenges run on Apple's Game Center under Apple's terms and your Game Center settings. Keep display names and shared challenge links civil; scores that are clearly faked may be removed from leaderboards where Apple's tools allow it.

License

The app is licensed to you, not sold, under Apple's standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement, plus these terms. Don't copy, resell, or reverse-engineer the app except where the law says we can't stop you.

No warranty

hangtime and this site are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied — including fitness for a particular purpose. We don't promise the app will be accurate, uninterrupted, or error-free.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the developer of hangtime is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, or for any injury, loss, or damage arising from your use of the app or your training — and total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid for the app in the twelve months before the claim. Some jurisdictions don't allow certain limitations, so parts of this may not apply to you.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute that ends up in court belongs in the state or federal courts of California.

Changes

If these terms change, the date at the top changes with them. Using the app after an update means you accept the new terms.
