Terms of Use
The rules for using Productive, in plain language. By using the app, you agree to them.
Effective October 15, 2026
The most important thing to know: Productive deletes each week's tasks at Saturday midnight, on purpose. Don't use it to keep anything you need to hold on to.
1Agreement
These Terms are an agreement between you and Mustafa Ali, the maker of Productive ("we", "us"). By opening or using Productive, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, please don't use the app.
2The service
Productive is a weekly task planner that runs in your web browser. It's currently free. There's no account to create. It saves your tasks in your browser so there's nothing to set up. We may add, change or remove features, or pause or stop the service, at any time.
If paid plans are offered in the future, their price, billing, free-trial and cancellation terms will be shown clearly before you pay, and you'll need to accept them separately.
3Your data and the weekly reset
- You own your content. The tasks and notes you write are yours.
- It lives on your device. Your data is stored in your browser and is never uploaded to us. We can't see, back up or recover it. Each browser and device keeps its own separate planner.
- Weekly deletion is a feature. Every week's tasks are permanently deleted at Saturday midnight in your device's time zone. Tasks planned for future weeks are kept until their week ends.
- Repeating tasks and reminders are conveniences, not guarantees. Reminders only work while Productive is open and notifications are allowed, and your device may delay or silence them. Don't rely on them for anything critical.
- You're responsible for backups. Use Your data → Download a backup if you want a copy. Data can also be lost if you clear your browser data, use a private window, change browsers or devices, or if your browser removes stored data. We aren't responsible for lost tasks.
- Not for critical use. Don't rely on Productive alone for medical, legal, financial, safety or other critical deadlines.
4Acceptable use
Please don't:
- use Productive for anything illegal;
- try to disrupt, overload or break the website or the services it relies on;
- copy and pass off the app, its name or its design as your own, or use them to mislead people;
- submit spam, abuse or other people's private information through the contact form.
5Feedback
Ideas and feedback are always welcome through the contact form. If you send a suggestion, you agree it can be used to improve Productive without any obligation or payment to you. Please don't send anything confidential.
6Ownership
The Productive name, logo, design and code belong to Mustafa Ali. Using the app doesn't give you any ownership of it. The fact that the source code can be viewed on GitHub doesn't grant permission to copy, redistribute or sell it, unless a separate license file in the repository says otherwise.
7Third-party services
Productive relies on GitHub Pages (hosting), Google Fonts (typefaces), and optionally Google Maps (when you tap a location) and your email provider (when you contact me). Those services have their own terms, and we're not responsible for them. See the Privacy Policy for details.
8No warranty
Productive is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. That includes warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement, to the fullest extent the law allows. We don't promise the app will always be available, error-free, or that your data will never be lost.
9Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we won't be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages. This includes lost data, missed deadlines or appointments, and lost profits arising from your use of, or inability to use, Productive. While the app is free, our total liability for any claim is limited to zero dollars (CAD $0). Some places don't allow certain limits on liability, so parts of this section may not apply to you.
10Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we'll change the date at the top of this page. Important changes will be pointed out in the app. If you keep using Productive after a change, that means you accept the updated Terms.
11Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Nova Scotia and the federal laws of Canada that apply there. Any dispute will be handled by the courts of Nova Scotia, unless the law where you live gives you the right to bring it elsewhere.
If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest stays in effect.
