Terms of Use

Last updated: October 2026

These are the terms for downloading and using Whatcha Doing. You accept them when you tick the box on a download page, or when you use the app. They are written to be read, not skimmed past.

The short version

Every new install starts with a free trial week. After that, Monthly is a subscription you can cancel any time. Lifetime is a one-time payment for one person.
The app runs on your computer and keeps your log in plain files there. Your log is yours.
It starts when you log in, so a forgotten morning still gets logged. You can turn that off in Settings.
Weekly reports are written by an AI provider: through my server on your trial week and on Monthly, or with your own key on Lifetime, under that provider's terms.
A 14 day money back guarantee, for any reason.
It's a tool for keeping your own word. Don't use it to watch other people.
The reports are written by an AI and can be wrong. The app comes as it is.

Who these terms are between

Between you and me, Ozioma Ogubuike (Alex), the person who builds and sells Whatcha Doing ("I", "me"). By downloading or using the app you confirm you are old enough to agree to these terms where you live, or have a parent or guardian's permission.

Your licence

I give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to install and use Whatcha Doing on computers you use.

Free trial: everything, including your first weekly report, at no cost for 7 days from the first time you open the app on a computer. After that, check-ins stop until you pick a plan. Your log and reports stay yours.
Monthly: everything, with reports written on my server, for as long as you pay. One person. Don't share the licence key.
Lifetime (and the older Pro and Founding licences): one payment, one person. Use your licence key on your own computers. Don't share it, publish it or resell it.
Founding members also get new features one release early as beta builds. Beta builds are less tested, so expect the odd rough edge.

You may not sell, rent or redistribute the app, get around the licence check, or reverse engineer it except where the law says you can. The app, its name and its logo stay mine; the licence is permission to use them, not ownership.

What the app does on your computer

It interrupts you at the interval you set, with a sound, and asks what you did.
It registers itself to start when you log in and starts tracking on its own. That's on by default, because a check-in nobody started is a day nobody logged. Untick "Start when I log in" in Settings to stop it.
It saves your log, plan, settings and reports as files on your computer. See the Privacy page for exactly what and where.

Your content and the AI providers

What you type stays yours. I claim no rights to it and I can't see it. When you run a weekly report, that week's log and your plan go to the AI provider you chose (Anthropic, DeepSeek, Google Gemini or Perplexity) using your own API key. That use is between you and the provider, under their terms and prices, and they charge you, not me.

Paying, and refunds

Purchases go through Gumroad, which handles the payment, the receipt and any sales tax. Gumroad's own terms apply to the checkout. Prices can change, but never for something you already bought.

Refunds: every purchase comes with a 14 day money back guarantee. Ask within 14 days of buying Lifetime, or of your first Monthly or yearly payment, for any reason, and you get your money back. Monthly can be cancelled any time from your Gumroad receipt, and it keeps working until the end of the period you paid for. Email the address on the contact page. A refunded licence stops unlocking paid features. Nothing here takes away any refund right your local consumer law gives you.

Use it on yourself

Whatcha Doing is for personal accountability. Don't use it to monitor another person, such as an employee, without their knowledge and consent, and don't use it for anything illegal.

Updates

I release updates from time to time and may change, add or remove features. A licence you paid for keeps working on the version you have. I'm not obliged to keep supporting old versions forever, but I won't switch off a version you paid for.

No guarantees

The app comes "as is". I build it carefully and use it on myself every week, but I can't promise it will be free of bugs or always available. Weekly reports are written by an AI model and can be wrong, incomplete or unfair; treat them as one opinion about your week, not a verdict. Whatcha Doing is not medical, psychological or professional advice. Keep your own backups of anything you can't lose.

Limits on liability

As far as the law allows, I'm not liable for indirect or consequential losses, such as lost data, lost profits or a missed deadline, and my total liability to you is limited to what you paid me for the app in the 12 months before the claim. Some places don't allow these limits, so they apply to you only as far as your local law permits.

Ending this

You can stop at any time: uninstall the app and delete its folder. If you break these terms, for example by sharing or reselling a licence key, I may end your licence. Sections 04, 08, 09 and 12 still apply after that.

If these terms change

The date at the top changes whenever this page does. Anything that changes what you agreed to in a way that matters will also be in the release notes. If you keep using the app after a change, the new terms apply from then on.

The law that applies

These terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, where I'm based. That doesn't take away the consumer protections of the country you live in. If something here can't be enforced, the rest still stands.
