Dayline Terms of Use
Effective date: September 29, 2026
These Terms of Use ("Terms") are an agreement between you and Dayline ("we", "us"), for your use of the Dayline app and the Dayline website at dayline.club (together, "Dayline"). By downloading or using Dayline, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use Dayline.
Our Privacy Policy explains how Dayline handles information. In short: if you do not sign in, the app sends nothing to us and your goals stay on your phone. If you sign in, your goals sync to your Dayline account, and you can export them or delete your account at any time.
1. Relationship to Apple's and Google's terms
- iPhone. If you download Dayline from the Apple App Store, your use of the app is also governed by Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement (the "Apple Standard EULA"). These Terms add to the Apple Standard EULA. If they conflict, the Apple Standard EULA controls for the app on Apple devices, except where these Terms give you more rights. Section 14 lists terms that apply specifically to Apple.
- Android. If you download Dayline from Google Play, the Google Play Terms of Service also apply to your purchase and download.
2. Who can use Dayline
You must be at least 13 years old (or 16 in the European Economic Area and United Kingdom), or the minimum age required in your country, to use Dayline. If you are under 18, or under the age of majority where you live, you confirm that a parent or guardian has agreed to these Terms for you.
3. Your licence to use the app
We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to download and use the Dayline app on devices you own or control, for your own non-commercial use, as permitted by the app store you downloaded it from. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, rent, or sublicense the app, or reverse engineer it except where the law allows this despite this restriction. We and our licensors keep all rights in Dayline, including its name, logo, design, and software, that are not expressly given to you.
4. Free and Dayline Plus
Free. Dayline is free to download. The free version includes one active goal with a live countdown, the daily nudge, home-screen widgets, share cards, the Minimal theme, your recent history, and an optional account that syncs your goals between your devices. Your first goal stays free.
Dayline Plus is an optional yearly subscription. Plus currently adds: as many active goals as you like, five more themes (Warm, Night, Sage, Dusk and Paper), milestones to break goals down, a daily nudge for each goal, and your full history. We may improve, add to, or change Plus features over time. We will not remove a core Plus feature you are paying for during your current subscription period without telling you in advance.
5. Subscriptions, auto-renewal, and the free trial
- Price. Dayline Plus costs $19.99 a year in the United States. Prices in other countries are set in local currency and shown in the App Store or Google Play before you confirm. Taxes may apply.
- Account needed. You need a Dayline account (section 7) to subscribe, so your subscription stays with you on every device you sign in to.
- Billing. Your subscription is sold and billed by Apple (for iPhone) or Google (for Android), not by us. Payment is charged to your Apple ID or Google Play account when you confirm the purchase or, if you start a free trial, when the trial ends.
- Free trial. New subscribers may get a 7-day free trial. Apple or Google decide who is eligible, usually once per Apple ID or Google account. If you do not cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends, your subscription starts and you are charged the yearly price.
- Auto-renewal. Your subscription renews automatically every year at the then-current price unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period.
- Price changes. If the price changes, Apple or Google will notify you according to their rules, and, where required, ask for your consent before the new price applies.
6. Cancelling and refunds
How to cancel. You can cancel at any time. Cancelling stops the next renewal. You keep Plus until the end of the period you have already paid for, or the end of your trial. Deleting the app does not cancel your subscription.
- iPhone: open the Settings app, tap your name, then Subscriptions, then Dayline, then Cancel Subscription.
- Android: open the Google Play Store app, tap your profile icon, then Payments & subscriptions, then Subscriptions, then Dayline, then Cancel subscription.
Refunds. Because Apple and Google process all payments, we cannot issue refunds ourselves. Refund requests are handled under the store's policies:
- Apple: request a refund at reportaproblem.apple.com.
- Google Play: request a refund through Google Play's order history or Google Play Help.
Nothing in these Terms limits any refund or withdrawal rights you have under the consumer law of your country.
When Plus ends. If your subscription ends, you go back to the free version. Nothing is deleted. You pick one goal to keep working on; your other goals are paused, which means you can still see them and their milestones but cannot edit them, and they send no reminders. The theme returns to Minimal and history shows your most recent goals. You get everything back if you subscribe again.
Restore purchases. If you reinstall Dayline or get a new phone, sign in to the same Dayline account, then tap Restore purchases on the Plus screen while your phone is signed in to the Apple ID or Google account you used to subscribe.
7. Your account, your goals and your data
Everything you enter in Dayline, such as goal titles and milestones, is yours. You give us permission to store and process it only to provide Dayline to you, as described in the Privacy Policy.
- Signed out. Your goals are stored only on your device. We do not have a copy and cannot recover them. If you delete the app or clear its data, they are gone, apart from anything in your device's own backup.
- Signed in. An account is optional. You can create one with Sign in with Apple, Sign in with Google, or an email link or code. Your goals, milestones, and settings sync between the devices you sign in to. Sync is not a backup: if you delete a goal on one device, it is deleted on the others. Please keep access to the email or Apple or Google account you sign in with, because it is how you get back into your Dayline account. You are responsible for activity on your account.
- Export and delete. Signed in, you can export your data or delete your account at any time in Settings. Deleting your account permanently deletes the data we hold for it. It does not cancel your subscription (section 6).
We work to keep Dayline available, but we do not promise that sync will always be available, uninterrupted, or error-free.
Widgets and notifications can show your goal titles on your home screen and lock screen. Please choose goal titles with that in mind.
8. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- use Dayline in a way that breaks any law;
- copy, modify, or redistribute the app, or remove any notices from it;
- try to get around the subscription or trial system, or unlock Plus features without paying;
- try to access another person's account or data, or interfere with our servers;
- use automated means to create accounts or send requests to our servers;
- interfere with the app's security or the stores through which it is offered.
9. Third-party services
Dayline works with services from other companies, including Apple (App Store, Sign in with Apple, iCloud), Google (Google Play, Sign in with Google, Android backup), Supabase (our account and sync service), RevenueCat (subscription management), and the apps you pick in your phone's share sheet. Those services are governed by their own terms and privacy policies, and we are not responsible for them.
10. Disclaimers
Dayline is a motivation tool. It is not professional, medical, financial, or legal advice. We provide Dayline "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent the law allows, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
Notifications and widget updates are controlled by your phone's operating system and may be delayed, grouped, or not delivered, for example because of battery settings, Focus modes, or notification permissions. Please do not rely on Dayline as your only reminder for anything time-critical, safety-related, or legally important.
11. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising from your use of Dayline. Our total liability to you for any claim relating to Dayline is limited to the greater of the amount you paid for Dayline Plus in the 12 months before the claim, or US$20.
Some countries and states do not allow these limits. Where that is the case, they apply only as far as the law allows. Nothing in these Terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot be limited by law, and nothing affects your statutory rights as a consumer.
12. Ending these Terms
You can stop using Dayline at any time by deleting your account (if you have one), deleting the app, and cancelling any subscription. We may suspend or close your account, or end your licence, if you seriously or repeatedly break these Terms; where we can, we will tell you first and let you export your data. If we ever shut down the account and sync service, we will give you at least 30 days' notice in the app and let you export your data first; the countdown keeps working on your phone. Sections 3 (our rights), 7, 10, 11, 13, and 14 continue after these Terms end.
13. Governing law and disputes
If you are a consumer, you keep the protection of the mandatory laws of the country where you live, and you may bring a claim in your local courts. Before bringing a claim, please contact us at [email protected] so we can try to resolve it.
14. Additional terms for Apple devices
If you use Dayline on an Apple device:
- These Terms are between you and us only, not with Apple. We, not Apple, are solely responsible for Dayline and its content.
- Your licence is limited to use on Apple-branded products you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.
- Apple has no obligation to provide any maintenance or support for Dayline.
- If Dayline fails to meet any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any). To the maximum extent the law allows, Apple has no other warranty obligation for Dayline.
- We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claims by you or a third party relating to Dayline, including product liability claims, claims that Dayline fails to meet a legal or regulatory requirement, and claims under consumer protection, privacy, or similar laws.
- If a third party claims that Dayline or your use of it infringes their intellectual property, we, not Apple, are responsible for investigating, defending, settling, and discharging that claim.
- You confirm that you are not located in a country subject to a US Government embargo or designated as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not on any US Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
- Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.
15. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms, for example when we add features or when the law changes. We will post the new version at https://dayline.club/terms and change the effective date. If a change materially affects your rights, we will tell you in the app or its release notes before it takes effect. If you keep using Dayline after the change, you accept the new Terms.
16. General
If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest stays in effect. Our not enforcing a right is not a waiver of it. You may not transfer these Terms to someone else. These Terms, the Privacy Policy, and (on Apple devices) the Apple Standard EULA are the whole agreement between you and us about Dayline.
