Porkly

Terms of Service

These Terms govern your use of the Porkly mobile application and the porkly.app website (together, the “Service”). Read them — they include important disclaimers and they limit our liability to you.

Tool, not a guarantee Porkly is a productivity tool that helps you organize plans, timers, and reminders. It is not a system of record, a fiduciary, a notification carrier, or a backup service. You are solely responsible for managing your schedule, your data, and your obligations to others. Whether you use the free tier or have purchased Premium, the disclaimers and liability limits in these Terms apply fully and identically.

1. Acceptance

By downloading, installing, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. The Service

Porkly is a personal productivity and time-tracking application for tasks, events, alarms, timers, stopwatches, pomodoros and activities. It runs entirely on your device: there is no account, no server, and no synchronisation between devices. Features, availability, and behavior may change at any time without notice.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction, whichever is greater) to use the Service. By using it, you represent that you meet this requirement and that you have the legal capacity to agree to these Terms.

4. No account — and what that means for you

Porkly has no registration, no sign-in and no password. You do not have an account with us, we hold no record of you, and there is nothing for us to suspend, terminate, or lock you out of.

The other side of that Because we hold nothing, we cannot recover anything. There is no cloud copy of your data and no “forgot my data” process. If you delete the app, reset or lose your device, or restore it from a backup that predates your work, that data is gone permanently and no one can retrieve it. Exporting regularly is the only protection, and it is yours to do.

5. Your licence to use Porkly

We grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use one copy of the Porkly application on devices you own or control, for your own personal or internal business purposes, in accordance with these Terms and with the App Store’s Usage Rules. We reserve all rights not expressly granted. The Service is licensed to you, not sold.

6. Your content

You own everything you put into Porkly — your tasks, events, notes, timers, activities, tracked sessions and settings (collectively “Your Content”). It is written to storage on your own device.

We ask for no licence to Your Content, because we never receive it. We do not host it, transmit it, process it, display it, back it up, analyse it, or use it to train anything. Older versions of these Terms granted us a licence to host and sync Your Content; that was written for an architecture Porkly does not have, and it is gone.

You are solely responsible for Your Content and for keeping your own copies. We are not a backup service. Data on a device can be lost, corrupted, or made permanently unavailable through ordinary technical failure, and you accept that risk.

7. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

use the Service to violate any law or the rights of any person;
reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive the source code of the application, or circumvent its technical protections — including the checks that gate paid features — except where such a restriction is prohibited by applicable law;
resell, rent, sublicense, or commercially redistribute the Service or any part of it;
remove, obscure, or alter any proprietary notice in the Service;
use the Service to stalk, surveil, harass, or harm any person.

8. Premium — a one-time purchase

Some features require Porkly Premium, which is a single one-time purchase, not a subscription. Nothing recurs, nothing auto-renews, and there is nothing to cancel. You buy it once and it stays unlocked.

It is sold by Apple through the App Store as a non-consumable in-app purchase, at the price shown in your local storefront at the time of purchase.
The purchase is attached to your Apple Account, not to a device. Use Profile → PREMIUM → Restore Purchases to unlock it on a new or reinstalled device signed in to that same Apple Account.
Refunds are handled entirely by Apple, under Apple’s policies. We never receive your payment details and cannot issue, approve, or deny a refund. Request one at reportaproblem.apple.com.
Which features sit behind Premium, and the limits on the free tier, may change in future versions.

Paying does not change the disclaimers Premium unlocks features. It is not a service-level guarantee, a warranty, an SLA, or a promise of uptime, accuracy, notification delivery, or data preservation. Every disclaimer and liability limit in these Terms applies to Premium users in exactly the same way it applies to free users.

9. AS IS / AS AVAILABLE

The Service is provided “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE”, with all faults, and without warranty of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including any warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, reliability, security, quiet enjoyment, and any warranties arising out of course of dealing or usage of trade.

We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, error-free, free of viruses or other harmful components, available in your location, or compatible with your device. We do not warrant that defects will be corrected, that notifications will be delivered, that data will be preserved, or that any information obtained through the Service will be accurate or reliable.

10. No reliance

You must not rely on the Service for anything that matters. The Service is a convenience tool and not a substitute for your own judgment, calendar, alarm clock, backup system, or professional advice. Without limiting the foregoing, you specifically acknowledge and accept that:

Notifications may be delayed, throttled, filtered, suppressed, mis-timed, or not delivered at all — by your operating system, your device, your Focus or do-not-disturb settings, a silenced ringer, a low-power state, or by a defect in the app. We make no guarantee that any notification will reach you.
Reminders, alarms, and scheduled events may not fire. Do not rely on Porkly to wake you up, get you to an appointment, remind you of a deadline, or alert you to a time-sensitive task.
Your data exists in one place — your device — and may be lost, corrupted, or made unrecoverable by device failure, loss, theft, an OS update, deleting the app, or a defect in the app. There is no server-side copy and no recovery path. You are responsible for exporting and backing up anything you cannot afford to lose.
Importing a backup replaces what is in the app. It is a restore, not a merge: anything not contained in the file you import is deleted, and the step cannot be undone. The app warns you and asks for confirmation first; past that point the outcome is yours.
Time, dates, time zones, and calendar arithmetic may be wrong. Always verify in your authoritative calendar.
Statistics, totals, charts, and tracked durations are estimates only and may be incorrect.

If a meeting, deadline, medication, flight, exam, court date, or any other obligation matters, do not depend on Porkly for it. Use a system you control and understand. 100% of the responsibility for managing your obligations is yours.

11. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, in no event shall the Operator, or his contributors, agents, or affiliates, be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenues, data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising out of or related to your use of, or inability to use, the Service — including, without limitation, missed meetings, missed deadlines, missed flights, missed appointments, lost opportunities, undelivered notifications, data loss or corruption, or unavailability of the Service — whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), statute, or any other legal theory, and whether or not we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability to you for all claims arising out of or related to the Service is limited to the amount you actually paid for Porkly Premium, or US $0 if you have not purchased it.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation of certain damages. In those jurisdictions, the disclaimers and limits above apply to the fullest extent permitted by law.

12. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Operator and his contributors, agents, and affiliates from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to (a) your use of or access to the Service, (b) Your Content, (c) your violation of these Terms, (d) your violation of any law or third-party right, or (e) any reliance you or any third party places on the Service.

13. Ending it

You may stop using the Service at any time by deleting the app from your device. That removes Your Content along with it, permanently — export first if you want to keep it. There is no account to close, and nothing of yours remains with us afterwards, because nothing of yours was ever with us.

This licence terminates automatically if you breach these Terms. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination — including ownership, disclaimers, liability limits, and indemnification — will survive.

14. Third parties, and Apple

The Service is distributed through the Apple App Store and uses Expo’s update service. Your use of those platforms is governed by their own terms and privacy policies, and we are not responsible for, and disclaim all liability arising from, their acts and omissions.

As required for apps distributed through the App Store, you acknowledge that: these Terms are between you and the Operator only, and not with Apple; Apple has no obligation to furnish maintenance or support for the Service; in the event the Service fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple and Apple will refund the purchase price, and to the maximum extent permitted by law Apple has no other warranty obligation whatsoever; Apple is not responsible for addressing any claim by you or a third party relating to the Service; and Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.

15. Changes to the Service or Terms

We may add, change, suspend, or remove features at any time. We may also update these Terms from time to time; the “Last updated” date below shows when they last changed. Material changes will be noted here, and your continued use of the Service after they take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

16. Governing law & disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Ohio, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. You agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Stark County, Ohio, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts. Where permitted by law, you and we each waive any right to a jury trial and any right to bring or participate in a class action.

If you are a consumer resident in a jurisdiction whose law grants you rights that cannot be waived by contract — for example in the European Union or the United Kingdom — nothing in these Terms removes those rights, and the clause above does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory law of your country of residence.

17. General

Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service.
Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full effect.
No waiver. Our failure to enforce any right is not a waiver of that right.
Assignment. You may not assign these Terms. We may assign them in connection with a sale of the Service or its assets.
No agency. Nothing in these Terms creates an agency, partnership, or employment relationship.
