Terms of use

The arrangements around using the Neat! app. Short, because there isn't much to arrange.

Last updated: 17 August 2026

1. What these terms cover

These terms apply to your use of the iPhone app Neat! ("the app") and of this website. By using the app you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use the app.

The app is provided by the party named at the bottom of this page ("we", "us").

2. What you get

You get a free, personal, non-exclusive and non-transferable right to use the app on the Apple devices you own or control, for your own use. There is no subscription and there are no in-app purchases.

You need no account. There is nothing to log into, nothing to lose and nothing that we keep for you.

3. What stays yours

The rooms, chores, notes and checklists you create are yours. They sit in your own device's storage and, if you're signed in to iCloud, in the private database of your own iCloud account. We never see them and claim no rights over them whatsoever. See the privacy policy for details.

Because your data only ever exists on your side, keeping it safe is up to you. If you use Reset everything, or lose your data with no iCloud and no backup, it is permanently gone: we hold no copy and can recover nothing.

4. What we ask of you

You will not use the app to:

  • break the law or cause harm to others;
  • reverse engineer, modify or redistribute the app beyond what the law expressly permits;
  • disrupt the app or our website, for example with automated requests.

5. Intellectual property

The app itself — the Neat! name, the logo, the design, the texts and the source code — is and remains ours, protected by copyright and trade mark law. These terms grant you a right of use, not ownership.

6. Availability and changes

Because the app runs entirely on your device, it keeps working for as long as your iPhone and iOS allow — even if we were to stop updating it. We may change the app, add or drop features, and stop releasing new versions. None of that affects a version you have already installed.

7. No warranties

The app is provided "as is". Neat! is a tool to help you keep track yourself; we don't promise it is free of faults, that notifications always arrive on time (that depends on iOS and your settings too), or that it suits any particular purpose. For things that genuinely matter, don't rely on this app alone.

8. Liability

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for damage arising from the use of, or inability to use, the app, including loss of data or missed chores. This limitation does not apply in cases of intent or deliberate recklessness on our part, and does not affect your mandatory rights as a consumer.

9. Apple

Neat! is distributed through the App Store, and Apple's terms apply to that distribution. Apple is not a party to this agreement and is not responsible for the app or for supporting it; support runs through us, via the contact page. Neat! is not affiliated with Apple Inc.

10. Changes to these terms

We may amend these terms, for instance when the app changes. The current version is always on this page, with the date of the last change at the top.

11. Governing law

These terms are governed by Dutch law. Disputes will be brought before the competent court in the Netherlands, unless mandatory law designates another court.

12. Who we are
