NowThis Terms of Service
1. Scope of License
Upon purchase from the Apple App Store, the Company grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App on any Apple-branded products that you own or control, solely for your personal, non-commercial use, as permitted by the Usage Rules set forth in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.
2. Open Source Disclosures
The App is built on open-source software.
- Source Code Availability: The source code for NowThis is available at opensource.nowthis.app and is licensed under the GNU General Public License v3 (GPLv3).
- License Precedence: Nothing in this Agreement limits your rights under, or grants you rights that supersede, the terms and conditions of any applicable open-source license for the underlying source code. However, the compiled App binary distributed via the Apple App Store is governed by this Agreement.
3. How NowThis Works
NowThis is a native iOS task management app. It stores your data locally on your device and optionally synchronizes with a CalDAV-compatible server that you provide and control.
3.1 Local-Only Mode (Default)
You may use NowThis without connecting to any server. All data is stored exclusively on your device. No external service agreement applies beyond this EULA.
3.2 Self-Hosted CalDAV/Nextcloud Sync
You may connect NowThis to a self-hosted Nextcloud server or any CalDAV-compatible server. You acknowledge that:
- Nextcloud, CalDAV servers, and any other self-hosted sync infrastructure are Third-Party Software not developed, owned, or supported by A Secret Company, LLC.
- We do not control these services and are not responsible for their performance, availability, or security.
- You are solely responsible for the configuration, maintenance, and security of the server you connect to the App.
4. Purchase & Payment
NowThis is available as a one-time purchase on the Apple App Store.
- Billing: Your purchase is processed entirely by Apple. A Secret Company, LLC does not collect, process, or store any payment information.
- Refunds: Refunds are handled by Apple according to their App Store refund policy. Visit reportaproblem.apple.com.
- Family Sharing: If enabled for the App, Family Sharing is governed by Apple's policies.
5. No Company-Operated Cloud Service
Unlike many task management apps, NowThis does not operate or require any company-hosted cloud service. We do not store, process, or have access to your data at any time.
6. Data Standards & Portability
NowThis stores and synchronizes data using open standards:
- Tasks are stored as VTODO components per the iCalendar specification (RFC-5545).
- Journals are stored as VJOURNAL components per the same standard.
- Sync uses the CalDAV protocol (RFC-4791).
Your data is fully portable. You may use any CalDAV-compatible application to access, modify, export, or migrate your data at any time without restriction from us.
7. No Warranty ("As Is")
YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT USE OF THE APP IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.
