Terms of Use — Focus

Last updated: September 6, 2026 · App: Focus · Bundle ID: aec.focusia

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern access to and use of the Focus iOS application (“Focus”, “the app”, “the service”), operated by the developer identified on the App Store under Bundle ID aec.focusia (“we”). By downloading, opening, creating an account, joining a family, or purchasing a subscription, you accept these Terms and the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use Focus.

1. Service description

Focus is a family organizer that may include, among other features:

• shared agenda (events and tasks);
• notes;
• document vault;
• member profiles;
• chat and/or dictation assistant to help create or edit items;
• cloud sync across devices and members of the same family;
• local options such as iOS Calendar sync, reminders, and weather (subject to permissions).

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue features with reasonable notice when practicable. Some features require internet, an account, and/or a subscription.

2. Eligibility and accounts

• You must have legal capacity to contract (or use the app under the responsibility of whoever manages the Apple / family account).
• Full access with sync requires signing in with Sign in with Apple or Google.
• You are responsible for the confidentiality of your session and use of your account.
• You must provide accurate information to the extent the app requests it and must not impersonate others.

3. Families, invites, and content

• You may create a family or join with an invite code.
• Anyone with the code can access that family’s shared content. Share it only with people you trust.
• You are responsible for content you upload (text, images, documents, data about minors or others).
• Do not upload illegal content, content that infringes third-party rights, or unnecessary sensitive data.
• We reserve the right to suspend access for abuse, fraud, or security risk, to the extent permitted.

4. Plans: Free and Focus PRO

4.1 Free plan

The Free plan lets you use Focus with limits that may include, depending on the version shown in the app:

• up to 20 AI uses (counted messages/dictations) per calendar month;
• dictations up to about 10 seconds;
• up to 10 vault documents;
• up to 6 family members;
• other input or per-reply action limits shown in the app.

Exact limits are shown in the app and may change. When reached, some features (e.g. AI or adding documents/members) may be blocked until the next cycle or until you upgrade to PRO.

4.2 Focus PRO

Focus PRO is a paid plan that expands Free limits (for example more AI uses, longer dictation, larger vault capacity, and more member flexibility, as published in the app). PRO is not marketed as absolutely unlimited and is subject to the fair-use policy in section 5.

5. Fair-use policy (PRO)

To protect stability and cost (especially AI and storage), PRO is subject to fair-use caps. Typical current configuration:

• up to 500 AI messages/dictations per calendar month (about 250 minutes of audio if each dictation uses the 30s maximum);
• up to 1000 vault documents as fair use;
• dictations up to about 30 seconds each.

If caps are reached, AI or other affected features may pause until the next month or until you reduce usage, depending on implementation. We may adjust thresholds with reasonable notice in the app or these Terms. Circumventing limits via abusive multi-accounting, mass automation, bots, or reverse-engineering of counters is prohibited.

6. Auto-renewable subscriptions (Apple In-App Purchase)

Focus PRO is offered as an auto-renewable subscription through Apple, typically:

• monthly product: focus_pro_monthly;
• annual product: focus_pro_annual.

Apple’s standard rules apply:

1. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account upon purchase confirmation.
2. The subscription renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
3. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period.
4. You can manage and cancel subscriptions in device Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions (or Apple’s equivalent path).
5. Any unused portion of a free trial, if any, is forfeited when you purchase a subscription, as Apple determines.
6. Prices are shown in the app / App Store and may vary by country and taxes.

Refunds, when applicable, are requested from Apple under its policy. Deleting the app or your Focus account does not by itself cancel the subscription: you must cancel in Apple Settings.

The app may offer “Restore purchases” to recover an entitlement already paid on the same Apple ID.

7. AI assistant and dictation

• The assistant interprets text or transcripts to propose creates/edits on the agenda and other supported actions.
• It is not medical, legal, financial, or other professional advice. Always review the result before relying on it.
• AI may be wrong, miss context, or misread names/dates.
• Do not send secrets, full banking details, sensitive medical histories, or other information you do not want an AI provider to process.
• AI use consumes your plan allowance (Free or PRO fair use).

8. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• use Focus unlawfully or to harass, threaten, or violate others’ rights;
• attempt unauthorized access to accounts, families, or systems;
• interfere with security, availability, or usage metering;
• scrape, resell, sublicense, or otherwise commercially exploit the service or AI without authorization;
• upload malware or unlawful content to the vault;
• reverse-engineer the app except as expressly allowed by law.

9. Intellectual property

Focus, its name, logos, design, code, and related marks belong to their respective owners. You receive a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the app on iOS devices you own or control, subject to App Store rules and these Terms. You do not acquire ownership of the software.

You retain rights to content you upload; you grant us a limited license to host, sync, and process it solely to provide the service (including sending it to AI providers when you trigger that).

10. Privacy

Personal data processing is described in the Privacy Policy, which forms part of the relationship with the user together with these Terms.

11. Availability and support

The service is provided “as is” and “as available.” There may be interruptions due to maintenance, network, Apple, AI providers, or infrastructure failures. We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability or error-free operation. Support is provided through channels indicated on the App Store or in the app, as reasonably available.

12. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:

• Focus and its developer are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, lost profits, data loss, or business interruption arising from use or inability to use the service;
• total aggregate liability, if any, will not exceed the greater of (a) amounts paid for Focus PRO in the 12 months before the claim and (b) zero if you only used Free;
• we are not responsible for decisions you make based solely on the AI assistant.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions; in that case limitations apply to the maximum extent permitted.

13. Indemnity

You agree to defend and indemnify the Focus developer against third-party claims arising from your content, misuse of the service, breach of these Terms, or violation of third-party rights, to the extent permitted by law.

14. Suspension and termination

You may stop using Focus at any time and request account deletion from the app when available. We may suspend or terminate access if you breach these Terms, there is a security risk, or we must comply with law. After termination, licenses end; provisions that by nature should survive (IP, limitation of liability, etc.) remain in effect.

15. Changes to the Terms

We may update these Terms. The last-updated date indicates the current version. For material changes we will try to provide reasonable notice. Continued use after the effective date means acceptance, unless law requires another mechanism.

16. General

• If any clause is held invalid, the remainder stays in force.
• These Terms are the main agreement on using Focus, together with the Privacy Policy and applicable Apple App Store / Apple Media Services rules.
• If there is a conflict between a Spanish version and another language version, the Spanish Terms prevail unless mandatory consumer law says otherwise.
• Governing law and forum are those corresponding to the developer’s domicile as shown on the App Store listing and any mandatory consumer protections that benefit you.

17. Contact

Questions about these Terms: the developer email on the Focus App Store listing, or in-app contact / report options in Settings if enabled.
