Terms of Service

The deal.

Last updated May 10, 2026

These terms govern your use of the almost ready iOS app and the almost-ready.app website ("the Service"). By creating an account or using the app, you agree to them. If you don't, please don't use the Service.

Who we are

almost ready is built and operated by Claudia Ondecker, an individual developer based in New Jersey, United States ("we" / "us" / "our"). You can reach us at hello@almost-ready.app.

Your account

You need an account to use the app. To create one you must be at least 13 years old (16 in some jurisdictions). You're responsible for keeping your password safe and for activity that happens under your account. If you think your account has been accessed by someone else, email us.

One person, one account. Don't share your login credentials, and don't create accounts on behalf of someone else without their permission.

What you get

We grant you a personal, non-transferable, non-exclusive license to use the app on devices you own or control, for your own purposes. You may not:

Your content

The tasks, schedules, notes, and any other content you create in the app are yours. You retain all rights to them. We store them on your behalf so the app can do its job — that's it. We don't claim ownership, we don't read them, and we don't license them to anyone.

If you use the share-status feature, you're choosing to make a small slice of your data (first name + pace, optionally task names) publicly visible at a temporary URL. You're responsible for what you choose to share.

Subscriptions and billing

almost ready offers an auto-renewing subscription:

Prices may vary by region — the exact price for your account is shown on the paywall before you confirm.

How billing works. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at the end of the free trial and at the start of each renewal period. The subscription renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel from your iOS Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions. Cancelling stops the next renewal — you keep access through the period you've paid for.

Free trial. The 7-day free trial is offered once per Apple ID. If you cancel during the trial, you won't be charged. If you don't cancel, the subscription begins automatically at the price above.

Refunds. All purchases are processed by Apple and refund requests are handled by Apple under its standard refund policy. You can request a refund at reportaproblem.apple.com. We don't have the ability to process refunds directly.

Price changes. If we change the subscription price, we'll notify you in-app and by email at least 30 days before the change takes effect. You can cancel before the new price applies if you don't agree.

Termination

You can stop using the app and delete your account at any time, from Profile → "Delete my account."

We may suspend or close your account if you materially violate these terms (abusing the share feature, attempting to compromise our infrastructure, etc.). Where reasonable, we'll give you notice and a chance to fix it first.

If your account is closed, any unused subscription time is forfeit unless local law requires otherwise.

Intellectual property

The almost ready name, wordmark, app design, and code are owned by Claudia Ondecker. Nothing in these terms transfers any of that to you. You're licensed to use the app as described above — that's the extent of it.

The app is provided "as is"

We work hard to make almost ready reliable, but no software is perfect. The Service is provided as-is and as-available, without warranties of any kind — express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We don't guarantee that the app will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that it will meet your specific needs.

almost ready is a planning tool, not a life-critical system. Don't rely on it for situations where missing a notification or scheduling error could cause real harm.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, or data, arising out of or related to your use of the Service.

Our total liability to you for any claim arising out of or related to the Service is limited to the greater of $50 or the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim arose. Some jurisdictions don't allow these limits, in which case they apply only to the extent permitted.

Indemnification

You agree to defend and hold us harmless from claims arising out of your misuse of the Service or your violation of these terms. We'll handle our own legal defense if it's a claim about the app itself working as designed.

Apple's terms also apply

Because almost ready is distributed through the App Store, Apple's standard End User License Agreement also applies to your use of the app. Where these terms and Apple's EULA conflict, Apple's EULA controls. You can read Apple's EULA at apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula.

Changes to these terms

If we make material changes to these terms, we'll update the "Last updated" date above and notify active users in-app at least 30 days before the change takes effect. Continuing to use the app after that means you accept the new terms. If you don't agree, you can delete your account before the changes apply.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute that can't be resolved by emailing us will be brought in the state or federal courts located in New Jersey, and you consent to that jurisdiction.

Severability

If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect.
