Terms of Use
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your use of Trace and related services. By downloading or using Trace, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.
Contact: traceyourprogress@gmail.com
1. The App
Trace is a focus timer and productivity app that helps you track focus sessions, goals, standards, scheduling, and related insights. Features may vary by platform (iPhone, Apple Watch, Mac) and by whether you use the free tier or Trace Pro.
2. Eligibility
You must be able to form a binding contract in your jurisdiction to use the App. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use the App only with permission of a parent or legal guardian.
The App is not intended for children under 13.
3. License
We grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use Trace on Apple devices you own or control, solely for personal, non-commercial use, subject to these Terms and Apple’s App Store rules.
You may not:
- Copy, modify, reverse engineer, or create derivative works of the App except as permitted by law
- Circumvent subscription or feature limits except by purchasing Trace Pro through Apple
- Use the App unlawfully or in a way that harms others or our rights
- Resell, sublicense, or redistribute the App
4. Trace Pro Subscriptions and Purchases
4.1 Plans
Trace offers optional paid features through Trace Pro, which may include:
- Trace Pro Monthly — auto-renewing subscription, billed monthly
- Trace Pro Annual — auto-renewing subscription, billed yearly
- Trace Pro Lifetime — one-time, non-consumable purchase (no renewal)
Prices, currency, and any taxes are shown in the App at the time of purchase and may vary by region. Apple determines final pricing displayed to you.
4.2 Free Trials and Introductory Offers
Some subscription plans may include a free trial or introductory offer (for example, a multi-day free trial before the first paid period). If offered:
- You will see the trial length and price before you confirm purchase in Apple’s payment sheet.
- If you do not cancel before the trial ends, your subscription automatically converts to a paid subscription and your Apple ID is charged at the then-current price.
- Only one introductory offer per subscription group may be available per Apple ID, as determined by Apple.
Trial length and pricing must match what is configured in App Store Connect and displayed in the App at purchase time.
4.3 Automatic Renewal
Payment is charged to your Apple ID account.
Subscriptions renew automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period.
You can manage or cancel subscriptions at any time in:
Settings → [Your Name] → Subscriptions
(on iPhone, iPad, or Mac signed into the same Apple ID)
4.4 Lifetime Purchase
A lifetime purchase is a one-time payment with no subscription renewal. It unlocks Trace Pro features for as long as we support the App and your purchase remains valid under Apple’s rules. “Lifetime” means for the life of the App’s commercial availability, not your lifetime as an individual.
4.5 Restore Purchases
You may restore prior Trace Pro purchases using Restore in the App, subject to Apple’s StoreKit rules and the Apple ID used for the original purchase.
4.6 Refunds
All purchases are processed by Apple. We do not process refunds directly. Refund requests must be made through Apple (for example, reportaproblem.apple.com or Apple Support), subject to Apple’s policies.
4.7 Feature Changes
We may add, modify, or remove Pro or free features over time. We will not intentionally remove core purchased value without reasonable notice where practicable.
5. Free Tier
Without Trace Pro, certain features are limited (for example, caps on session types, standards, insights periods, scheduling, widgets, or customization). Limits are described in the App and may change as we improve Trace.
6. Screen Time / App Blocking
App blocking uses Apple’s Screen Time APIs. Availability depends on your device, iOS version, and Apple authorization. Blocking may not be available in Simulator, on unsupported configurations, or if you deny permission.
We do not guarantee that blocking will prevent all distractions or work in every situation. You are responsible for complying with applicable laws and workplace or school policies when using blocking features.
7. Apple Watch and Mac
- Apple Watch: Acts as a timer companion; completed sessions may sync to your paired iPhone. Watch features require a compatible Apple Watch and pairing.
- Mac: The Mac app provides local timer and productivity features; data is stored on your Mac and is not automatically synced to iPhone in v1 unless we add sync in a future update.
Platform-specific limitations may apply.
8. Notifications
Notifications are optional and delivered locally by your device. We are not responsible if notifications are delayed or not delivered because you denied permission, enabled Focus modes, or changed system settings.
9. Privacy
Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle information:
https://www.reotrace.app/privacy
By using Trace, you also agree to the Privacy Policy.
10. Disclaimers
THE APP IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
We do not guarantee uninterrupted operation, error-free performance, or that the App will meet every personal productivity goal.
Trace is not medical, psychological, or therapeutic advice. It is a productivity tool.
11. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, REO AND ITS DEVELOPER WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE APP.
OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATING TO THE APP WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR TRACE PRO IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, OR (B) USD $50.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in those cases, our liability is limited to the maximum permitted by law.
12. Termination
You may stop using the App at any time by deleting it. We may suspend or discontinue the App or any feature if required for legal, security, or operational reasons. Sections that by nature should survive (including payment obligations already processed by Apple, disclaimers, and limitations of liability) will survive termination.
13. Apple as Third-Party Beneficiary
You acknowledge that Apple Inc. is a third-party beneficiary of these Terms with respect to your use of Trace downloaded from the App Store, and Apple may enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.
Your use of the App must also comply with Apple’s App Store Terms of Service and Usage Rules.
14. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. The updated version will be posted at https://www.reotrace.app/terms with a new effective date. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated Terms.
15. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws applicable in the jurisdiction where Reo operates, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, except where mandatory consumer protection laws in your country of residence give you non-waivable rights.
