Terms of Use

Last updated: July 2, 2026

These terms are written in plain English on purpose. They cover your use of the MindQuay iOS app and this website. If anything is unclear, email us at [email protected] and we'll explain.

1. Acceptance

By downloading or using MindQuay, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the app.

Because MindQuay is distributed through Apple's App Store, Apple's standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies to your use of the app. Where these terms and Apple's EULA conflict, Apple's EULA controls for matters it covers.

2. The service

MindQuay is a self-care app for iOS (iOS 17 and later). It offers a short evening "docking ritual" for writing down and triaging your thoughts, procedurally generated harbor soundscapes, a guided 4-7-8 breathing pacer, a weekly review, streaks, and an optional evening reminder.

We grant you a personal, non-transferable, non-commercial license to use MindQuay on Apple devices you own or control. We don't sell or transfer the app itself to you — you're licensing it.

3. Subscriptions & billing

MindQuay is offered as an auto-renewing subscription, purchased through Apple:

• Annual: $39.99 per year, with a 7-day free trial.
• Monthly: $9.99 per month.

Prices are in USD; App Store pricing may vary by region. Here's how billing works:

• Free trial: the annual plan includes a 7-day free trial. If you don't cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends, Apple charges the annual price and the subscription begins.
• Auto-renewal: subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each period until you cancel.
• Cancelling: cancel anytime in iOS Settings > Apple Account > Subscriptions. Cancelling stops future renewals; you keep access through the period you've already paid for.
• Refunds: all purchases are processed by Apple, so refund requests go through Apple, not us. We never see your payment details and cannot issue refunds directly.

4. MindQuay is not medical advice

MindQuay is a self-care tool. It is not medical care, therapy, diagnosis, or treatment, and it is not a crisis service. It is not a substitute for professional help. If you are in crisis in the United States, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline). In an emergency, call 911.

5. Your content

Everything you write in MindQuay stays on your device, stored locally with Apple's SwiftData. You own your thoughts and everything you write; we claim no rights to them. Because the app has no server and no account, we have no access to your content, ever. You can erase everything instantly with "Delete all my data" in Settings.

6. Acceptable use

Please don't:

• reverse engineer, decompile, or tamper with the app, except where the law expressly permits it;
• resell, rent, or redistribute the app or access to it;
• use the app in any unlawful way or to interfere with others' use of it.

7. Disclaimer of warranties

MindQuay is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We don't promise the app will be uninterrupted or error-free. Some jurisdictions don't allow certain warranty disclaimers, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

8. Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, MindQuay will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost data or lost profits, arising from your use of the app. Our total liability for any claim relating to the app is capped at the amount you paid for MindQuay in the 12 months before the claim arose. Some jurisdictions don't allow certain liability limits, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

9. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time, for example when we add features or the law changes. When we do, we'll update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. If a change is significant, we'll say so clearly on this site or in the app. Continuing to use MindQuay after a change means you accept the updated terms.

These terms are governed by the laws of your state of residence in the United States.
