MindPing
Terms of Use
MindPing · Last updated 28 August 2026 These are the terms for using MindPing. I've kept them short and in plain English, because terms nobody reads protect nobody. By using the app, you're agreeing to what's below.
What MindPing is
An app for capturing reminders by speaking or typing. You say a thought, it works out what you meant and when, and it reminds you. It's made by an independent developer — one person, not a company. Contact: amidou308@gmail.com
Your account
Signing in is optional. Without an account, everything stays on your phone. With one, your reminders sync so they survive a lost or replaced phone. There's no password — you sign in with a code sent to your email. **That means whoever can read your email can get into your account**, so it's worth keeping your email account secure and turning on two-factor authentication there. You need to be 13 or older to have an account.
Your reminders are yours
You own everything you put in. I don't claim any rights over your content, and I don't use it for anything except making the app work for you. You're responsible for what you put in — please don't use MindPing for anything illegal.
What I ask of you
Don't try to break it. Concretely: no attacking the servers, no hammering the API to run up costs, no attempting to reach other people's data, no reselling access. If you find a security hole, please email me instead of using it — I'll be grateful, not annoyed. I may suspend an account that's actively causing damage.
Reminders and notifications — please read this one
MindPing is a helpful tool, not a guarantee. Notifications depend on your phone: its settings, its battery mode, whether iOS decides to delay them, whether the app was force-quit, whether the device was off. Don't rely on it alone for anything critical — medication, medical appointments, legal deadlines, flights. Use something with a guarantee for those. I can't promise a notification will arrive at the exact moment you need it, and I won't pretend otherwise.
AI features
The app sends the text you capture to an AI service to work out the title, date and category. It's usually good and sometimes wrong — it might misread a date or pick an odd category. **Check important reminders after creating them.** The full detail of what gets sent is in the Privacy Policy.
Offline mode is a fallback
MindPing is built to run its AI parsing online. That is the normal way it works, and it is the accurate way. With no connection the app still accepts a reminder, but it works out the title, date and time on your phone instead, using a much simpler set of rules. It handles most ordinary phrasing, and it gets things wrong more often than the AI does — a time read an hour out, a date it didn't spot, a category it guessed badly. It is there so that losing signal does not mean losing the thought, not as an equal alternative. So: when you capture a reminder offline, check its date and time before you rely on it. Both are editable on the review screen and afterwards. If a reminder created offline fires at the wrong time, or does not fire, that is the limitation described here.
Paid features
If subscriptions are offered in the app:
- They're purchased through Apple's App Store, and Apple handles the payment.
- They renew automatically unless you turn renewal off at least 24 hours before the period ends.
- You manage or cancel in iPhone Settings → your name → Subscriptions, not in MindPing.
- Refunds are handled by Apple, under their policy — I can't issue them myself.
- Prices may change; you'll be told before a change affects you.
Things I can't promise
The app is provided as it is. I try hard to keep it working, backed up and secure, but I can't promise it will never go down, never lose data, or never make a mistake. It's a personal project built with care, not an enterprise service with a support contract. To the extent the law allows, I'm not liable for losses that come from using — or not being able to use — the app, including a missed reminder. Where local law gives you rights that can't be signed away, those still apply.
Ending things
You can stop any time: Settings → Delete account removes your account and everything in it immediately. Or just delete the app. I can close an account that's breaking these terms, or if I have to shut MindPing down. If I ever discontinue the app, I'll give reasonable notice and a way to get your reminders out.
Changes
If these terms change meaningfully, I'll let you know in the app before it takes effect. Carrying on using MindPing after that means you're OK with the new version.
The legal footer
These terms are governed by the laws of the developer's country of residence. If some part of them turns out to be unenforceable, the rest still stands.
