watchcap studio
One agreement for everything the studio makes.
Effective 29 July 2026 · Last updated 29 July 2026
We make software. And other things. What you write in it is yours and stays yours. Use it for your own work, do not use it to hurt anyone, and understand that software occasionally breaks. If any of that is a problem, do not use it. And don't steal our stuff. We'd never do that to you.
The sections below are the terms themselves, and they are what governs. Where a section applies to only some of what we make, it says so at the top.
These terms are an agreement between you and BTTY LLC, doing business as WatchCap Studio. When this page says "we," it means that company. Write to us at hello@watchcapstudio.com.
Everything the studio publishes: our applications, for whatever device they run on, and our websites, together with the services behind them. That includes what we release in the future, from the day it ships. We do not keep a list here, because a list goes stale and the answer is simply everything of ours you are using.
Nothing below binds a product that does not have the thing it describes. A section about accounts does not reach a product with no accounts, and one about publishing does not reach a product that publishes nothing. Where that distinction matters, the section says which kind of product it speaks to.
If a product needs a term these do not cover, that product's own page says so, and it governs for that product only. Everything else here still holds.
Using any of it means you accept these terms. If you are accepting on behalf of an organization, you are saying you have the authority to bind it.
Products without sign-in need none of this. You download them and use them, and we do not know who you are.
Whatever you make in our software is yours: the words you write, the things you keep, the notes and pictures you add to them. We claim no ownership of any of it, in any product, ever.
Some of what we make keeps your work on your own machine and sends us nothing. We do not receive it, so we need no rights to it, and we are granted none.
Other products keep your work on our servers, so it can follow you between devices. For those, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to do the mechanical things that running the service requires: store your content, sync it to your devices, process it to provide a feature you have asked for, back it up, and show it to the people you have chosen to show it to. That license exists for those purposes and no other, and it ends when you delete the content or your account.
We will not use your content to train models, sell it, or publish it anywhere you have not chosen. What we collect, and which other companies touch it, is set out on the Privacy page.
The license above covers running the service and nothing else. If we ever want to show something you made in our own marketing, that is a separate thing we have to ask you for, one use at a time, and you are free to say no.
We grant you a personal, non-transferable license to install and use our apps on devices you control, for as long as these terms hold. We keep everything else: the code, the names, the marks, and the design. The apps update themselves so you are running the current version, and you can turn that off where a product offers the switch.
Some components inside our apps are open source and carry their own licenses, which travel with them and are not overridden by anything here.
When you publish something, claim a public name, or hand out a link to your work, you are making that material available to other people and you are responsible for it. Be right about what you have the right to share.
If you believe something published through one of our products infringes your copyright or otherwise should not be there, write to hello@watchcapstudio.com with enough detail for us to find it. We will look, and we will remove what warrants removing.
We may remove published material, or suspend the account behind it, when it breaks these terms. We would rather write to you first, and usually will.
Where an app lets you file a report from inside it, doing so may capture a picture of the app at that moment along with what you write, and send both to us. If the screen showed something you would rather we not see, cancel the report and write to us instead.
If you send us an idea or a suggestion, we may act on it without owing you anything for it. We are not taking your writing, only your advice about the software.
The essays, photographs, and other work we publish on our websites are ours. Quote a passage with attribution and a link, as you would from anywhere. Do not republish a piece whole, and do not feed a site of ours to a scraper.
Where a product lets you connect an outside service, or where you get our software through an app store, your dealings with that company are governed by its terms, not ours. We are not responsible for their outages, their changes, or what they do with the account you hold with them. If one of them changes in a way that breaks a feature, we will do what we can, which is sometimes nothing.
Some of what we make is free. Some of it costs money, or will. We set our own prices, and what we charge is what we charge. We may price a new product, put a price on something that was free, or change a price we have already set.
What we will not do is surprise you. Before you are charged anything, we will tell you the price, and you can say no and keep your work. A free account does not quietly become a paid one. If we change the price of something you already pay for, we will tell you before the change takes effect, and you can stop paying instead.
Where you buy through an app store, that store takes the payment and handles receipts and refunds on its own terms, not ours.
Our software is provided as it is, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We do not promise that it will be available, that it will stay current across your devices, or that it will never lose your work.
Keep your own copy of anything you cannot afford to lose.
We may change, suspend, or discontinue any part of what we make. If we shut a product down, we will give you reasonable notice and, where we hold your work, a way to export it first.
Some of what we make reports on the world: conditions outside, forecasts, readings, estimates drawn from public data. All of it is information, not advice, and none of it is a professional opinion.
Nothing we make is medical, health, safety, legal, or financial advice, and nothing we make substitutes for a professional or for an official source. A forecast is a model's guess. A reading can be stale, wrong, or missing, and the data behind it usually comes from third parties we do not control and cannot vouch for.
So do not lean on our software for a decision where being wrong would hurt: whether the air outside is safe to breathe, whether to leave, whether to treat a symptom, or anything else with your health or safety in it. Use the authorities responsible for that, and in an emergency call emergency services.
To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data, or the cost of substitute services, arising out of your use of anything we make.
Our total liability to you for any claim is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim, or one hundred United States dollars.
Some jurisdictions do not allow these limits, in which case they apply to you only as far as that jurisdiction permits, and nothing here limits liability for fraud, gross negligence, death, or personal injury caused by us.
You can stop using any of it whenever you like, and delete the app. Where a product holds an account, write to hello@watchcapstudio.com from the address you signed up with to close it and have its contents deleted, and see the Privacy page for what happens next.
We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms, or that puts the service or other people at risk. Where it is reasonable to warn you first, we will.
We also reserve the right to refuse service. We can decline to sell to you, decline to open an account, or withdraw either one, at our discretion and without explaining ourselves. We will not do it for a reason the law forbids, and where we hold your work you will get it back before we cut you off.
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. Any dispute goes to the state or federal courts sitting in Minnesota, and you and we each consent to that. If you are a consumer somewhere that gives you the right to sue locally, this does not take that right away.
We may update these terms. If a change matters, we will date it here and tell you in the app or by email before it takes effect. Continuing to use our software after that means you accept the new version. If you do not, stop using it and close any account you hold.
hello@watchcapstudio.com. A person reads it.
What we collect, and who else touches it: Privacy.
