Terms of Use

Effective 14 August 2026

1. Agreement and licence

By downloading, using, or subscribing through Notch, you agree to these Terms of Use. Your licence to the iOS app is also governed by Apple's Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement. These terms supplement that agreement and do not replace rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.

2. What Notch provides

Notch provides daily habit tools, guided practice content, clocks for recovery, routines and events, local reminders, widgets, backups, and optional Game Center progress. Notch is a self-management tool, not medical care, diagnosis, treatment, counselling, or emergency support. Do not rely on it where professional advice or urgent help is required.

3. Notch Plus subscription

• Free core: three habits, three clocks, widgets, complete backups, and the first 14 programme days remain available without a subscription.
• Paid access: Notch Plus opens unlimited habits and clocks, the complete 182-day practice, and optional Game Center achievements and leaderboards.
• Price and period: Notch Plus is a monthly auto-renewable subscription. In the UK it is currently £0.99 per month. The purchase screen shows the price that applies in your App Store country or region, including applicable currency and taxes.
• Payment: Apple charges your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase. Notch does not receive your payment-card details or Apple Account credentials.
• Renewal and cancellation: the subscription renews automatically each month unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can cancel or manage it in your Apple Account subscription settings. Deleting Notch does not cancel a subscription.
• Price changes and refunds: Apple handles billing, renewal notices, price-change consent where required, cancellations, and refund requests under App Store rules and applicable law.
• After cancellation: Plus access continues until the end of the paid period. If it ends, existing Notch data remains visible, editable, and exportable; Plus limits apply to creating additional items and accessing paid programme content.

4. Privacy and data

Detailed habits, clocks, logs, and programme progress are stored locally on your device in storage shared with the Notch widget. Notch does not operate an account system or backend that receives this data.

If you choose to connect Game Center, Notch sends Apple only aggregate totals, achievement identifiers, and completion percentages. It does not send habit names, clock names, detailed logs, or backup contents. Apple processes purchases and Game Center activity under its own terms and privacy policies.

Exports are readable, unencrypted JSON files created at your request. You decide where to save or share them. You are responsible for keeping device access and exported backups secure. Read the full Notch Privacy Policy.

5. Your responsibilities

You may use Notch only lawfully and for personal purposes. You must not attempt to disrupt the app, bypass purchase controls, extract or redistribute paid programme content, infringe intellectual-property rights, or use Notch in a way that harms another person or violates applicable third-party terms.

6. Ownership

Notch, its design, code, branding, and original guided-practice content belong to the developer and are protected by intellectual-property laws. Your licence is personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and subject to the Apple usage rules. You retain responsibility for the data and text you enter.

7. Availability and changes

Reasonable care is taken to keep Notch available and accurate, but uninterrupted or error-free operation is not guaranteed. Features may change to improve the product, protect privacy or security, comply with law, or maintain compatibility with Apple platforms. Material changes to these terms will be posted here with a revised effective date.

8. Data loss and backups

Because Notch is local-first, deleting the app, losing or resetting a device, clearing browser storage, or restoring without a suitable device backup may remove data that the developer cannot recover. Use Notch's export feature and protect the resulting file if the history matters to you.

9. Warranties and liability

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability where doing so would be unlawful, including mandatory consumer rights or liability for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, death, or personal injury caused by negligence. Otherwise, to the maximum extent permitted by law, Notch is provided without guarantees beyond those required by law, and the developer is not responsible for indirect or unforeseeable loss, lost opportunity, or loss caused by failing to keep a backup.

10. Suspension and termination

You may stop using Notch at any time. The developer may restrict access where reasonably necessary to address unlawful use, security risk, intellectual-property infringement, or abuse of the service. Ending use does not automatically cancel an App Store subscription; cancellation must be completed through Apple.

11. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. If you are a consumer, this choice does not remove mandatory protections or court rights available in the country where you live.
