1. Acceptance
Welcome to Vitae (Chinese name 平生). These Terms of Service (‘Terms’) form a binding agreement between you and developer sikunhong (‘Developer’ or ‘we’) regarding your use of the Vitae app. By downloading, installing, launching or otherwise using the App, you confirm that you have read, understood and agreed to these Terms and the companion Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please stop using the App and uninstall it.
2. The Service
Vitae is a local-first personal life tracker. Its main features include but are not limited to:
- Ledger entry and statistics, AI receipt-screenshot recognition
- Asset account management, investment-related quotes
- Health dashboard, diet log, macro nutrient stats
- Fitness exercise library, training plans, session logging
- Todo management, App Intents / Shortcuts integration
- Multi-device sync via iCloud (CloudKit)
Features may be adjusted, added, paused or retired with version updates without individual notice. New-version capabilities will be listed in the App Store release notes.
3. No Account System
This App has no independent account system — no phone or email registration is required. All data syncs via iCloud under your Apple ID. You are responsible for safeguarding your Apple ID credentials; any data risk caused by an Apple ID leak is outside the App’s scope.
4. User Conduct
You agree to comply with applicable laws of your jurisdiction while using the App and not to:
- Reverse engineer, decompile or crack the App, or bypass paid features
- Use the App for money laundering, tax evasion, pyramid schemes or other illegal purposes
- Resell or perform large-scale scraping of the third-party AI / quote APIs invoked through the App
- Forge or modify App data and publish it as if it were official
- When using this App’s AI features (receipt capture / food recognition / AI Reflections, etc.), you must ensure the content you input or upload is lawful, compliant, and does not infringe on others’ rights. AI input is used only to produce the result of that request and return it to you; Vitae does not retain it. Any legal liability arising from that input is yours alone.
You alone bear any consequence arising from your violation of these rules.
5. Data Ownership & Backup
You are the sole owner of your data. The App stores no business data on its own servers. See the Privacy Policy for details.
We strongly recommend keeping iCloud sync on as your primary backup. The App is not liable for data loss caused by:
- You actively uninstalling the App or deleting iCloud data
- Apple iCloud service outages, quota limits or account suspensions
- Physical device damage, loss or theft
- Database corruption caused by OS upgrades or third-party tooling
You can export your data as a JSON file in Settings → General → Export Data (membership feature) to review it or analyze it with an AI assistant. Exported files can’t currently be imported back and are not a substitute for iCloud backup; you are responsible for keeping them safe.
6. Intellectual Property
All source code, UI design, icon assets, copy, brand name and logo of Vitae are owned by the Developer and protected by copyright law and international conventions. Without written authorization you may not copy, modify, distribute, rent, sell or create derivative works based on this App.
Business data you enter into the App (ledger entries, training records, todos, etc.) belongs to you. The Developer claims no rights over it.
7. Paid Features (if applicable)
Future versions of this App may offer paid unlocks or subscriptions (e.g. higher AI recognition quotas, Pro themes). All payments go through Apple In-App Purchase. Subscription terms, auto-renewal and refund policies follow whatever Apple displays at purchase time.
Refunds must be requested through Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com.
8. Disclaimer
To the maximum extent permitted by law:
- This App is provided ‘AS IS’ without any express or implied warranty of stability, accuracy or fitness for a particular purpose
- Health and fitness data is for reference only and does not constitute medical diagnosis, treatment advice or professional training guidance. Consult a doctor / qualified coach as needed
- Investment quotes come from public third-party sources, which may be delayed, incorrect or missing — they do not constitute investment advice; you bear all trading risk
- AI recognition results may contain errors; please verify amount and category before saving
- The Developer is not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special or punitive damages arising out of your use or inability to use the App
9. Service Changes & Termination
You may terminate this agreement at any time by uninstalling the App.
The Developer reserves the right to suspend or terminate service in the following cases: (a) you materially breach these Terms; (b) the App is sunset; (c) required by law. Clauses on IP, disclaimer and dispute resolution survive termination.
10. Governing Law & Disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the People’s Republic of China (excluding HK / Macau / Taiwan). If any clause is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining clauses remain in effect. Disputes shall first be resolved through good-faith negotiation; failing that, they shall be submitted to a competent court in the Developer’s place of residence.
11. Updates to These Terms
The Developer may revise these Terms as needed. The revised version will update the ‘Effective date’ at the top of this page and be surfaced prominently in-app. Continued use means you accept the revisions; if not, please stop using.
