Terms of Service

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

If you use the App on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization.

We may modify these Terms. Material changes will be reflected in the “Last updated” date and, when appropriate, in-app notice. Your continued use after changes become effective constitutes acceptance where permitted by law.

You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age required in your country to consent to data processing and paid services) to use DayLeaf. If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you must have a parent or guardian's permission.

DayLeaf is a local-first personal journaling application with a freemium model. Free features include creating and editing journal entries, voice notes, drawings, stickers, mood tracking, in-app writing statistics, reminders, optional PIN lock, data export, and cloud sync when signed in. Optional DayLeaf Premium unlocks additional features via subscription (see Section 7).

DayLeaf is not a medical, mental health, or crisis service. Content in the App is for personal reflection only and is not a substitute for professional advice, diagnosis, or treatment. If you are in crisis, contact emergency services or a qualified professional in your area.

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use DayLeaf for personal, non-commercial purposes on devices you own or control.

You may not:

• Copy, modify, or create derivative works of the App (except as allowed by law)
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App (except as allowed by law)
• Remove proprietary notices
• Rent, lease, sell, sublicense, or redistribute the App
• Use the App for unlawful purposes or to violate others' rights
• Interfere with the App's operation or attempt unauthorized access to our systems
• Use automated means to scrape or access the App except as allowed by law

All rights not expressly granted are reserved by Silica Sites and its licensors.

5.1 Account required

You must create a DayLeaf account (email and password) to use the App. You agree to provide accurate information and keep your credentials secure. You are responsible for all activity under your account.

5.2 Local storage and cloud sync

Your journal is stored on your device so you can write offline. When you are signed in, the App also syncs journals, entries, and selected settings to our servers (hosted on Supabase) so you can back up data and use it across devices.

• Sync runs when you sign in and when you use Sync now (Settings → Account)
• Voice note audio files remain on your device; only metadata may sync
• PIN lock data stays on your device and is not uploaded
• Use Settings → Export to create a ZIP backup at any time
• Uninstalling the App may delete local journal data but does not delete cloud copies — see Section 5.4

We use reasonable measures to protect cloud data but do not guarantee sync will be uninterrupted or error-free.

5.3 PIN lock

Optional PIN lock protects access to the App on your device. You are responsible for remembering your PIN. We cannot recover a forgotten PIN.

5.4 Sign out, data deletion, and account deletion

• Sign out (Settings → Account) ends your session. Journal data remains on the device and cloud copies remain on our servers
• Delete account (recommended): Settings → Account → Delete account. This permanently deletes your account, all cloud-synced data on our servers, and journal data on this device. Premium access in the app ends when your account is deleted. This does not cancel a Google Play subscription — cancel in Google Play → Subscriptions (or Settings → Premium → Manage Subscription) to stop future charges. This cannot be undone
• Delete cloud data without deleting your account: Email info@silicasites.com with subject "Data Deletion" from your registered email address
• Delete account by email (alternative): Email info@silicasites.com with subject "Account Deletion" from your registered email address if you cannot use the in-app option

5.5 Device security

You are responsible for securing your devices, OS updates, and who can physically access your phone or computer.

You retain ownership of content you create (“User Content”), including text, audio, images, and drawings.

You grant us a limited license to store, display, process, and sync User Content on your device and on our servers as needed to operate the Service (including backup, restore, and cross-device sync when you are signed in), and to transmit it as you direct (e.g., export you initiate from Settings).

You represent that:

• You have the rights to your User Content
• Your User Content does not violate law or third-party rights
• Your User Content does not contain malware or harmful code

We do not routinely monitor User Content. We may take action if we become aware of violations of these Terms or applicable law.

7.1 Freemium model

DayLeaf offers a free tier with core journaling features and an optional Premium subscription for additional features. Premium does not remove basic journaling for free users.

7.2 Plans

DayLeaf Premium is sold as auto-renewing subscriptions on Google Play:

Prices may vary by region and currency. Google Play displays the final price, billing period, and any free trial before you confirm purchase.

7.3 Premium features (current)

Premium may include, among other features:

• Multiple journals
• Custom color palettes and custom stickers
• Extended and custom writing prompts
• Advanced in-app analytics filters
• Cloud sync and backup across devices (also available when signed in on the free tier for core journal data — see our Privacy Policy)

Feature availability may change; we will not remove core paid functionality without reasonable notice where practicable.

7.4 Billing and renewal

• Payment is processed by Google Play, not directly by Silica Sites
• Subscriptions automatically renew unless you cancel through Google Play → Subscriptions before the renewal date
• Free trials or introductory pricing, if offered, are shown in the Google Play purchase flow and governed by Google's terms
• Premium is verified through our backend (Supabase) using Google Play purchase data

7.5 Refunds and cancellation

Refunds and cancellations follow Google Play's policies. To stop future charges, cancel in Google Play before the next billing period. Premium access typically continues until the end of the current paid period unless Google places the subscription on hold.

Deleting your DayLeaf account does not cancel your Google Play subscription. You must cancel separately in Google Play to stop renewal charges. After account deletion, you may restore Premium on a new account with Restore Purchases if Google Play still shows an active subscription for your Google account.

7.6 Restore purchases

Use Restore Purchases in the App or Google Play account tools to restore Premium on a new device, subject to verification of an active subscription.

You agree not to:

• Violate applicable laws or regulations
• Store or transmit illegal, infringing, harassing, or harmful content
• Attempt to bypass security, licensing, or Premium access controls
• Impersonate others or misrepresent affiliation with Silica Sites
• Share your account credentials or allow others to use your account
• Use the App to harm minors or violate others' privacy
• Disrupt other users or our infrastructure

Violation may result in suspension of your account, loss of Premium access (where permitted by Google Play), or legal action.

THE APP AND SERVICE ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

We do not warrant that:

• The App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure
• Data will never be lost (including device failure, sync conflicts, or uninstall)
• Cloud sync will always be available or complete
• The App will meet your specific needs
• Account services or subscription verification will always be available

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain disclaimers; in those cases, disclaimers apply to the maximum extent permitted.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SILICA SITES AND ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE APP.

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING FROM THESE TERMS OR THE APP WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR PREMIUM IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, OR (B) USD $50.

Some jurisdictions do not allow limitation of liability for certain damages; in those cases, our liability is limited to the maximum permitted by law.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Silica Sites from claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your use of the App, your User Content, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any third-party rights.

You may stop using DayLeaf at any time by signing out, requesting account deletion (see Section 5.4), and uninstalling the App. Export your journal first if you want a copy.

We may suspend or terminate your account or discontinue the App or features if you violate these Terms, with notice where practicable. Sections that by nature should survive (disclaimers, limitations, indemnity, governing law) survive termination.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the state where Silica Sites maintains its principal place of business, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.

Informal resolution: Contact info@silicasites.com first to resolve disputes informally.

Arbitration (where permitted): If informal resolution fails, disputes will be resolved by binding individual arbitration, except that either party may bring claims in small claims court or seek injunctive relief for intellectual property misuse. You waive class actions and class arbitrations to the extent allowed by law.

If arbitration is not enforceable in your jurisdiction, disputes will be brought in the courts located where Silica Sites maintains its principal place of business, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there.

• Entire agreement: These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement regarding DayLeaf
• Severability: If any provision is unenforceable, the remainder stays in effect
• No waiver: Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver
• Assignment: You may not assign these Terms without our consent. We may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets
• Force majeure: We are not liable for delays or failures due to events beyond our reasonable control
• Notices to you: We may provide notices through the App or by posting updated Terms
• Notices to us: info@silicasites.com
• Headings: For convenience only
