Terms of Use
Last updated 14 October 2026
The short version
- Your tasks and content are yours.
- Be kind: no abusive, hateful or illegal content in anything you share with friends.
- You must be 13 or older to use Oblongato.
- You can stop using Oblongato and delete your account whenever you like.
1. About these terms
These terms are an agreement between you and Jeremy Pau, who makes Oblongato ("Oblongato", "we", "us"). They apply when you use the Oblongato app and its related services. By creating an account or using Oblongato, you agree to these terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, please don't use Oblongato.
2. Who can use Oblongato
You must be at least 13 years old. If you're under 18, please make sure a parent or guardian is happy for you to use Oblongato and has read these terms with you.
3. Your account
- Give accurate information when you sign up, and keep your sign-in details secure.
- You're responsible for what happens in your account.
- Tell us at support@oblongato.com if you think someone else has accessed it.
- You can delete your account at any time in Oblongato's Account settings.
4. Your content
Everything you add to Oblongato, such as tasks, projects, notes and photos, belongs to you. You give us permission to store, process and display it only so we can run Oblongato for you: syncing it, showing it to friends you choose to share with, and powering features you use, like the AI features. This permission ends when you delete the content or your account, apart from short-lived backup copies described in our Privacy Policy.
Only add content you have the right to use, such as photos you've taken or have permission to use.
5. Friends and acceptable use
Friends lets you share tasks and send nudges to people you connect with. We have no tolerance for objectionable content or abusive behaviour. You must not use Oblongato to:
- harass, bully, threaten or intimidate anyone;
- share content that is hateful, discriminatory, sexually explicit, violent or otherwise offensive;
- share anything illegal, or that infringes someone else's rights;
- impersonate anyone, or send spam;
- interfere with Oblongato, try to access other people's accounts or data, or get around its limits or security.
You can block anyone, and report them from their page in Friends. We review reports promptly, normally within 24 hours, and may remove content and suspend or close accounts that break these rules, without notice where necessary.
6. AI features
Some features use AI to turn what you type, or photos of lists, into tasks, and to write light-hearted summaries. AI can make mistakes, so please check the results before relying on them. Don't use the AI features for anything where a mistake could cause harm.
7. Oblongato itself
- We give you a personal, non-transferable licence to use the Oblongato app on Apple devices you own or control, as allowed by Apple's App Store rules.
- Oblongato, its design, its name and Oblo belong to us. Please don't copy, modify or reverse engineer the app, except where the law allows it.
- Oblongato is free for now. If we introduce paid features in the future, we'll explain them clearly before you're charged, and you'll always choose whether to buy them.
- We're always improving Oblongato, so features may change. Test versions (such as TestFlight builds) may contain bugs, so please keep anything important backed up elsewhere.
- Weather information is provided by Apple Weather and is for general guidance only.
8. Ending your use
You can stop using Oblongato at any time and delete your account from the app. We may suspend or close your account if you seriously or repeatedly break these terms, or if we have to for legal reasons. If we ever stop offering Oblongato, we'll give you reasonable notice and a way to export your data where we can.
9. Our responsibility to you
We work hard to keep Oblongato reliable, but we can't promise it will always be available, error-free or that your data can never be lost, so please don't rely on it as the only record of anything critical. Oblongato is provided "as is", to the extent the law allows.
We're not responsible for losses that weren't foreseeable, for business losses, or for things outside our reasonable control. Nothing in these terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that can't be limited under the law, and nothing affects your legal rights as a consumer.
10. Apple
If you downloaded Oblongato from the App Store:
- These terms are between you and us, not Apple. We, not Apple, are responsible for Oblongato and its content.
- Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for Oblongato.
- If Oblongato fails to meet any applicable warranty, you can tell Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price (if any). Apple has no other warranty obligation for Oblongato.
- We, not Apple, are responsible for dealing with any claims about Oblongato, including product liability, legal or regulatory claims, and claims that it infringes someone's intellectual property.
- You confirm you're not in a country subject to a US government embargo, and 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.
11. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms as Oblongato grows. If we make important changes, we'll tell you in the app or by email before they take effect. If you keep using Oblongato afterwards, the new terms apply.
12. The law that applies
These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. If you live elsewhere in the UK or in the EU, you also keep the protections of your local consumer law, and you can bring a claim in your local courts.
