# Focuser - Disclaimer
**Effective Date: December 7, 2025**
The Focuser app ("the App"), developed by Chai Technologies, is a minimalistic daily goal tracker available on the iOS App Store. This Disclaimer outlines important information about its use. By using the App, you acknowledge and agree to the following.
## 1. Not Professional Advice
- **Purpose**: The App is designed to track daily goals and build productive habits. It is not a substitute for professional productivity coaching, therapy, medical advice, or mental health services.
- **Consult Professionals**: If you are experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, or other mental health concerns related to goal setting or productivity, consult a qualified mental health professional.
- **Personal Tool**: The App is a personal productivity tool. Results depend on your individual effort, circumstances, and commitment.
- **Personal Responsibility**: You are responsible for your own goal-setting decisions and actions. Set realistic goals and adjust as needed based on your circumstances.
## 2. No Warranties
- **As-Is Basis**: The App is provided "as is" with no warranties, express or implied, regarding functionality, accuracy, or suitability. Chai Technologies makes no promises about performance, reliability, productivity improvements, or outcomes.
- **Goal Tracking**: The App provides tools for tracking and organizing goals. It does not guarantee completion of goals or specific results.
- **Technical Limitations**: We do not guarantee uninterrupted service, error-free operation, or compatibility with all devices (requires iOS 17.0+).
- **Data Accuracy**: While we strive for accuracy in statistics and streak calculations, you are responsible for verifying your own progress and data.
## 3. Limitation of Liability
- **No Liability**: To the fullest extent permitted by law, Chai Technologies, its affiliates, and licensors (including providers of licensed AI tools used in development, such as ChatGPT, Cursor, and Claude, used under paid licenses) shall not be liable for any damages (direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special) arising from your use of the App, including data loss, device issues, or outcomes related to goal tracking.
- **User Responsibility**: You use the App at your own risk and are responsible for backing up data and securing your device.
- **Realistic Expectations**: Set realistic, achievable goals. The App is a tool to support your efforts, not a guarantee of success.
## 4. Data and Privacy
- **Local Storage**: All goal data, day entries, streaks, and settings are stored locally on your device using Core Data. No data is transmitted to external servers or backed up to the cloud.
- **Data Loss**: You are responsible for backing up your data. Deleting the App removes all data. Use the CSV export feature to create backups.
- **Security**: While we use iOS security features, no system is 100% secure. You acknowledge the risks of local data storage.
## 5. Personal Development Tool
- **Self-Directed**: The App is designed for self-directed goal tracking and habit building. Success depends on your commitment and consistent use.
- **No Guarantees**: We do not guarantee that using the App will result in improved productivity, habit formation, or goal achievement.
- **Balanced Approach**: Maintain a balanced approach to goal setting. Excessive pressure or unrealistic expectations may lead to stress or burnout.
## 6. Third-Party Tools
The App was developed using licensed AI tools (ChatGPT, Cursor, and Claude) under paid licenses, in compliance with their terms. Any issues related to these tools are the responsibility of their providers, not Chai Technologies.
## 7. Updates and Changes
This Disclaimer may be updated to reflect changes in the App or legal requirements. Updates will be posted in the App or on our website (if applicable). Continued use constitutes acceptance of the updated Disclaimer.
