Terms.
Short version: Cartwhile is a tool to help you pause before buying. Apple handles subscriptions. Effective November 10, 2026.
Who we are
Cartwhile is made by Common Kernel LLC (“we”). By using the app or this website you agree to these terms.
The app
The app is licensed to you under Apple’s Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement, together with these terms. If they conflict, Apple’s agreement wins.
Cartwhile helps you put purchases on hold. It isn’t financial advice, and the decision to buy is always yours. Totals like “dollars kept” are estimates based on the prices you hold.
Cartwhile Pro
- Pro is an auto-renewing subscription, monthly or yearly, bought through Apple and charged to your Apple Account.
- It renews automatically unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel it in your iPhone’s Settings under your Apple Account > Subscriptions.
- If a plan includes a free trial, it turns into a paid subscription when the trial ends unless you cancel before then.
- Refunds are handled by Apple under its policies.
Beta
Beta builds may be unfinished or change without notice. Please don’t rely on them for anything important.
No warranty
Cartwhile is provided “as is”. To the extent the law allows, we aren’t liable for indirect or consequential losses from using it, including purchases you make or skip.
