Terms & Conditions

You must be at least 13 years old, or the minimum age of digital consent in your country if higher, to use the App. By using the App you confirm that you meet this requirement and that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms.

The App signs you in automatically using an anonymous account — no email, password, or personal details are required. A random identifier is created to associate your data with your device. You are responsible for maintaining access to your device and for any activity that occurs through the App on it. Because accounts are anonymous, we may be unable to recover your data if you lose access to your device or uninstall the App without exporting your entries first.

Duskpen lets you write a short nightly journal entry — by typing or by on-device voice dictation — track your mood, and build a streak habit. The App stores your entries locally on your device; it does not sync your general journal to the cloud. When you use a Premium AI feature, the entry you submit is processed and stored in our backend to power AI insights (see the Privacy Policy). We may add, change, or remove features over time to improve the App.

The App is offered on a freemium basis.

• Free tier includes journaling, mood tracking, streaks, reminders, data export, and voice dictation (on-device speech-to-text, at no cost).
• Premium tier unlocks AI-powered features: personalised reflection, a single adaptive follow-up question, daily summaries, weekly reports, and pattern insights.

Premium features require an active entitlement. Pricing, billing, and the availability of Premium may change; where required, we will give you notice.

Premium is sold as a subscription. Purchases are processed through the Apple App Store or Google Play, and entitlements are managed by Adapty. Subscriptions renew automatically for the same period and at the then-current price unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel a subscription in your app store account settings; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. Payment is charged to your app store account. Purchases and any refunds are subject to the applicable store's terms and policies, over which we have no control.

Voice input uses your device's built-in speech-to-text and requires microphone and speech recognition permissions. It processes your speech on-device into text; we do not record or upload audio. Recognition accuracy depends on your device, language, and environment, and is provided on an “as is” basis.

When you invoke a Premium AI feature, the relevant entry text or extracted tags are sent to a third-party AI provider (OpenAI) to generate a response, as described in the Privacy Policy. You acknowledge that:

• AI-generated reflections, questions, and insights are produced automatically and may be inaccurate, incomplete, or unsuitable for your circumstances.
• AI output is not professional, medical, psychological, or therapeutic advice, and must not be relied upon as such.
• If you are experiencing distress or a mental-health crisis, contact a qualified professional or your local emergency services. The App is not a substitute for professional care.

You retain all rights to the journal entries, moods, and other content you create (“Your Content”). We do not claim ownership of Your Content. You grant us only the limited permission necessary to store, display, and process it to provide the features you use — for example, transmitting an entry to the AI provider and storing it in our backend when you request an AI reflection. We do not use Your Content to train AI models or for advertising. You are solely responsible for Your Content and for keeping your own backups via the export feature.

You agree not to:

• use the App for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable law;
• attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or tamper with the App except where permitted by law;
• disrupt, overload, or attempt to gain unauthorised access to our systems or the backend services;
• use the App in a way that infringes the rights of others or that could harm the App or other users.

The App, including its name, design, code, graphics, and content (excluding Your Content), is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by intellectual-property laws. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the App on devices you own or control, for your own personal, non-commercial use.

The App relies on third-party services, including Firebase (anonymous sign-in, backend functions, and storage of Premium AI data), OpenAI (AI processing for Premium features), Adapty (subscription and entitlement management), and the Apple App Store / Google Play (purchase processing). Your use of the App may be subject to those providers' terms, and we are not responsible for their services, which are provided by the respective third parties.

The App is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or that defects will be corrected. You use the App at your own risk.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising out of or in connection with your use of or inability to use the App. Where liability cannot be excluded, our total aggregate liability shall be limited to the amount you paid us for the App, if any, in the twelve months preceding the claim. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law.

You may stop using the App at any time and uninstall it. We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms or if we discontinue the App. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination — including content ownership, disclaimers, and limitation of liability — will continue to apply.

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date above and, where appropriate, notify you in the App. Your continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

These Terms are governed by the laws of Hungary and, where applicable, of the European Union, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. The competent courts of Hungary shall have jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms. This does not deprive you of any mandatory consumer-protection rights available to you under the law of your country of residence, including, for consumers in the EU, the right to bring proceedings in your local courts.
