Welcome to 年轮日记 (the "App"), a local-first, emotionally-oriented journaling app. By using the App, you (the "User") enter into this Agreement with the operator of the App (the "Operator": developer sanmiao li, domain rtool.cn).
Please read this Agreement carefully before using the App — especially the sections on permissions, optional subscriptions, and data handling. If you do not agree to any part, please do not use the App. Using the App means you accept all of its terms.
1.1 The App provides, among other things: one-entry-per-day journaling with an auto-saved global draft; plain-text body; photo attachments (up to 5 per entry, with location EXIF stripped on import); a history timeline and full-text search; a configurable home "look-back"; optional weather (Apple WeatherKit, off by default); App Lock (Face ID / passcode) and background blur; local-first storage with optional iCloud sync (your own iCloud account); a system writing entry (URL scheme / lock-screen widget); optional gentle writing reminders; and an optional AI companion ("Agent") that offers low-certainty observations, structured clarifying chats, and a versioned "understanding about you" you can view, correct, and delete.
1.2 The App does not provide social sharing, public posting, content feeds, check-in streaks, badges, location saving or map memories, AI diagnosis/labeling, or impersonation of real people.
2.1 You agree to comply with applicable laws and regulations, and to use the App only for lawful purposes.
2.2 You are solely responsible for the content you write. You may not record content that is illegal, fraudulent, defamatory, or that infringes the rights of others (including privacy, portrait, copyright, and similar rights).
2.3 You are responsible for keeping your device and iCloud account secure. The Operator cannot recover journal content you lose due to device loss, account loss, or your own deletion.
3.1 Core journaling requires no account. The App uses Sign in with Apple only when you actively enable the Agent or open the membership page.
3.2 The App does not request your email, real name, or Apple ID password. The server derives an opaque account token and stores only identity, membership state, and monthly Agent usage counters.
4.1 The App offers optional auto-renewing memberships (monthly / yearly) and a repeatable 100-credit consumable. Purchases are billed to your Apple ID through Apple's App Store.
4.2 Membership raises only the Agent usage quota. Recording, photos, search, iCloud sync, and App Lock remain permanently free.
4.3 Subscriptions auto-renew unless you disable auto-renewal at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in iOS Settings → your Apple ID → Subscriptions → select the App.
4.4 The 100-credit pack is a one-time consumable and does not auto-renew.
4.5 Prices and entitlements are as displayed on the App Store and may be adjusted based on product strategy.
5.1 We take your privacy seriously. For a detailed description of how data is handled, please read our Privacy Policy.
5.2 Your journal text and photos are stored on your device (SwiftData) and, if you enable sync, mirrored to your own iCloud using a private CloudKit database. The Operator does not hold this content.
5.3 The Agent processes the current entry and your "understanding about you" context only transiently via the Operator's backend to generate a response; the backend does not retain that content after the request completes. Photos and weather are never uploaded.
5.4 The App contains no third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking SDKs.
The App may request: Face ID (for App Lock); Location (When In Use, only to fetch weather when you enable it — coordinates are not saved); Photo Library (to attach photos and to save a generated logo); Camera (to take photo attachments). Each permission is requested only when the relevant feature is used and can be refused.
7.1 The Operator may update, adjust, or discontinue features as the product evolves, and will notify Users through in-app notices or page updates.
7.2 You may stop using the App at any time, including by uninstalling it. Uninstalling does not automatically cancel an active subscription — please cancel it manually in system settings.
8.1 The App is provided "as is". The Operator does not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free service, or that the App will meet all your needs.
8.2 The Operator is not liable for losses arising from: iCloud account or sync issues; device failure, loss, or insufficient storage; your own operations (including deletion); network or third-party (including Apple and AI model) service interruptions or output quality; or force majeure.
8.3 Agent outputs are generated by an AI model and may be inaccurate. They are for reflection and companionship only and do not constitute medical, psychological, legal, or other professional advice.
The App's software, interface, illustrations, and "年轮" (year-ring) visual design are owned by the Operator and protected by applicable law. You retain all rights to the content you write.
11.1 This Agreement is governed by the laws of the People's Republic of China. Disputes should first be settled by negotiation; if negotiation fails, either party may bring a lawsuit before a court at the Operator's location.
