Terms of Service

Last updated October 25, 2026

These terms

These terms are between you and Zach Waterfield, who makes and runs Cue (“I” and “me” below). They cover the Cue apps and the account and sync service at usecue.today (“the service”). By creating an account or using the service, you agree to them and to the Privacy Policy.

Cue’s source code is open source under the MIT license, and nothing here limits what that license allows. These terms don’t apply to a sync server you run yourself.

Your account

You need to be at least 13, or the minimum age where you live. Use an email address or Apple ID that’s yours, and keep it secure: anyone who can get into it can get into your Cue account. You’re responsible for what happens in your account.

Your notes

You own what you write in Cue. You give me permission to store, copy and send it only as needed to run the service for you, such as syncing it to your devices and to the assistants you connect. That permission ends when you delete it, or your account. You’re responsible for what you store, and for having the right to store it.

Using the service fairly

Don’t use Cue to break the law or to store illegal content. Don’t try to get into other people’s accounts or data, overload or disrupt the service, or get around its limits. If you find a security problem, please tell me at [email protected] rather than exploiting it.

Beta, and changes to the service

Cue is in beta and free to use: there’s no paid plan, no trial and nothing to unlock, sync included, and I don’t plan to charge for it. I work hard to keep it running and your notes safe, but I can’t promise it will always be available or free of bugs, so export your notes now and then. I may change the service, or stop running it. If I stop, I’ll give you at least 30 days’ notice where I can, so you have time to export. If Cue ever charges for anything, you won’t pay unless you’ve clearly agreed to.

Ending your account

You can stop using Cue and delete your account at any time in Settings. I may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms, telling you first when that’s reasonable.

No warranty

Cue is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including that it’s fit for a particular purpose, merchantable, uninterrupted or error-free.

Limits on liability

As far as the law allows, I’m not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or for lost data, profits or revenue, arising from your use of Cue. My total liability for any claim is limited to the greater of what you paid me for Cue in the 12 months before it, or US$50. Some places don’t allow these limits, and nothing here takes away rights you have by law that can’t be waived.

The App Store

If you got Cue through Apple, on TestFlight or from the App Store, these terms are between you and me, not Apple. Apple isn’t responsible for Cue, its support, or any claims about it, and has no warranty obligation for it. Apple and its subsidiaries can enforce these terms as third-party beneficiaries. You also agree to the App Store’s own terms.

Changes to these terms

If these terms change, the date at the top changes too. If it’s a significant change, I’ll tell you in the app or by email before it takes effect. Using Cue after that means you accept the new terms; if you don’t, you can delete your account.
