Terms of Service

Last updated: October 17, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By creating an account or using Pocket Captions, you agree to these Terms of Service. These Terms work alongside Apple's Standard End User License Agreement (EULA) — linked from Settings and on the App Store listing — which also governs your use of the app. If you do not agree, do not use the app. We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

2. About Pocket Captions

Pocket Captions is a live-caption, transcription, and note-keeping app operated by Simena Digital LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company. It shows live captions of conversations, saves the audio, transcribes it entirely on your device, lets you pin timestamped notes to the recording, and exports your transcript and notes to PDF, Word, Markdown, or plain text.

3. Account Registration

You create an account using Sign in with Apple. Your account holds your subscription status so it can be restored on a new device — it does not hold your recordings, transcripts, or notes (see §5). You must provide accurate information and keep your credentials secure; you are responsible for all activity under your account. You must be at least 13 years old (or 16 in the EEA) to use Pocket Captions.

4. Subscription & Payments

Pocket Captions requires a Pro subscription to use its recording, transcription, and export features — there is no free tier. Purchases are billed through Apple In-App Purchase, and the exact price is shown in your local currency on the App Store subscription screen before you confirm a purchase.

• Weekly plan: $8.99, billed once per week. Eligible first-time subscribers pay an introductory price of $0.99 for their first week.
• Yearly plan: $34.99, billed once per year, at the standard price from the start.
• There is no free trial. The introductory price is offered on the Weekly plan only, once per Apple ID per subscription group, and only to subscribers who have not previously subscribed to Pocket Captions Pro.
• When the Weekly plan's introductory week ends, it automatically renews at $8.99 per week. The Weekly and Yearly plans then continue to renew at the end of each billing period unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the renewal date.
• You can manage or cancel your subscription in your iOS Settings under Subscriptions. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.
• Refunds are handled by Apple according to their refund policy — we do not process refunds directly.
• Prices may vary by region and are displayed in your local currency in the App Store.
• Restore Purchases is available on the paywall and in Settings, and reattaches your Apple ID's existing purchase to your account.

5. User Content

You own your recordings, transcripts, notes, and onboarding profile answers. As described in our Privacy Policy, this content lives only on your device — it is never uploaded to our servers or to any third party — so we take no license to store or process it. Exporting to PDF, Word, Markdown, or plain text happens entirely on your device; where you send an exported file (Mail, Messages, Files, and so on) is your choice, made through iOS's own share sheet.

You are responsible for the content you record, including complying with any laws in your jurisdiction about recording other people's speech. You may delete any recording, or your entire account, at any time from Settings within the app (see §11).

6. Transcription and Content Accuracy

Live captions and transcripts are produced by Apple's on-device speech-recognition engine and may contain errors, omissions, or misheard words, especially with distance, background noise, or several people talking. Pocket Captions is not a medical device, not a relay or interpreting service, and not for emergencies. Treat captions and transcripts as an aid, not a verbatim official record, and check anything important with the speaker or against the original recording.

7. Third-Party Content and Services

Pocket Captions integrates with the following third-party services:

• Apple: Sign in with Apple for authentication, In-App Purchase for billing, and the on-device speech engine that produces captions and transcripts.
• RevenueCat: subscription billing and entitlement management.
• Sentry: crash and error reporting.
• OpenAI: Transcript Polish and automatic conversation naming, only if you turn them on (see our Privacy Policy, §5).
• AppsFlyer: measuring which of our ads led to your install and subscription (ad attribution; see our Privacy Policy, §2 and §5).

Each provider's own terms and privacy policy apply to those interactions. Pocket Captions does not display third-party advertising and does not sell user data.

8. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Use Pocket Captions for any unlawful purpose
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to our systems or other users' accounts
• Interfere with or disrupt the service
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the app
• Use automated means to access the service (bots, scrapers)
• Impersonate another person or misrepresent your identity
• Submit content designed to harm, harass, or threaten others
• Upload malicious content or code

9. Intellectual Property

Pocket Captions, including its design, code, features, and branding, is the intellectual property of Simena Digital LLC. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works based on Pocket Captions without our written permission.

10. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, Simena Digital LLC and its officers, employees, and agents shall not be liable for:

• Any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of Pocket Captions
• Transcription or caption errors, omissions, or inaccuracies
• Loss of a recording, transcript, or note due to device failure, storage limits, or user error — this content lives only on your device (see §5), so we hold no server-side copy to recover it from
• Service interruptions, downtime, or data loss
• Issues arising from third-party services integrated with Pocket Captions

Pocket Captions is provided "AS IS" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. Our total liability to you for any claims arising from or related to Pocket Captions shall not exceed the amount you paid for the service in the 12 months preceding the claim.

11. Account Termination

You may delete your account at any time from Settings within the app. Deletion is soft-applied immediately — your active session is ended and your Apple refresh token is revoked — and finalized after 30 days. During this 30-day grace window you may restore your account by signing in again with the same Apple ID. After 30 days, your account record (name, email, and subscription status) is permanently and irreversibly deleted. Your recordings, transcripts, and notes are unaffected either way, since they live only on your device and never on ours — delete them from your library, or delete the app, to remove them.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms, engage in abusive behavior, or pose a security risk to other users or the integrity of the service.

12. Governing Law

These terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Wyoming, United States, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising from these terms or your use of Pocket Captions shall be resolved through good-faith negotiation first, and if necessary, through binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association.

13. Severability

If any provision of these terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
