Nota - Turn your screenshots into tasks

Last updated: 13/07/2026 Effective: 13/07/2026

These Terms are a binding agreement between you and Nota. They govern your use of the Nota macOS application, the usenota.co website, and any related services (together, the "Service").

By downloading, installing, creating an account, or using Nota, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use Nota.

Quick summary (not a substitute for the terms below): Nota is a subscription macOS app. You get 3 days free with no card. After that a subscription is needed for capture, sync and AI summaries. Subscriptions renew until you cancel, and you can cancel at any time. Your content is yours. We provide the Service as-is and our liability is capped.

1. Who can use Nota

You must be at least 18 years old and able to enter into a binding contract. If you are using Nota for an organisation, you confirm you are authorised to accept these Terms on its behalf, and "you" means that organisation.

2. The Service

Nota is a macOS application that captures a region of your screen, converts it into a task with an AI-generated title and subtasks, and syncs your tasks to your account across your devices.

We may add, change, suspend or remove features. If a change materially reduces the core functionality of a paid plan, you may cancel and we will refund the unused portion of the period you have paid for.

Nota is a productivity tool. It is not a backup service, an archive of record, or a system for storing critical, regulated or safety-relevant information. Keep your own copies of anything important.

3. Your account

You need an account. You may sign in with email and password or with Google. You are responsible for keeping your credentials secure and for everything that happens under your account. Tell us promptly at team@routa.io if you believe your account has been compromised.

You may not share an account, sell it, or use another person's account.

4. Licence

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use Nota on Macs you own or control, for your own use, for as long as your account is in good standing.

You may not: copy, modify, translate, or create derivative works of the app; reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble it, except to the extent this restriction is prohibited by law; remove proprietary notices; rent, lease, sublicense, resell or distribute it; use it to build a competing product; or circumvent, disable, or tamper with any licensing, entitlement, trial, rate-limiting, or security mechanism, including the subscription check.

We keep all rights not expressly granted. Nota, the Nota name and logo, the app, the website and all underlying software are owned by us and protected by intellectual property law.

5. Free trial

New accounts receive a 3-day free trial with full access. No payment card is required to start it. Trials are one per person; we may refuse or end a trial we believe is being abused (for example, by creating multiple accounts). At the end of the trial nothing is charged and nothing is deleted: premium features simply pause until you subscribe.

6. Subscriptions, billing and renewal

Plans. After the trial, premium features (screen capture, cloud sync, AI summarization) require a subscription: $5.99 per month or $59.99 per year, in USD, exclusive of any VAT or sales tax, which is added where applicable.

Payment. Billing is processed by Stripe. Your card details are collected and stored by Stripe and are never seen or stored by us. You authorise us (via Stripe) to charge your payment method for the fees and any applicable taxes.

Automatic renewal. Your subscription renews automatically at the end of each billing period, at the then-current price for your plan, and your payment method is charged, until you cancel. You consent to this at checkout.

Cancellation. Cancel at any time from Settings → Billing → Manage subscription, which opens the Stripe billing portal. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period: you keep access until then, and you are not charged again. Cancelling does not delete your data.

Price changes. We may change prices. We will give you at least 30 days' notice by email before a change applies to your renewal, and you may cancel before it takes effect. Price changes never apply to a period you have already paid for.

Failed payments. If a payment fails, we may retry it and may suspend premium features until payment succeeds.

Refunds. See our Refund policy, which forms part of these Terms and sets out your statutory withdrawal rights if you are a consumer in the EEA or the UK.

Lapsed subscriptions. If your subscription ends, your existing tasks, notes and screenshots remain viewable and exportable; premium features are disabled until you resubscribe. We may delete data from accounts that have been inactive and unsubscribed for over [24] months, after giving you email notice first.

7. Your content

You own it. Tasks, subtasks, notes and screenshots you create remain yours. We claim no ownership.

Licence to us. You grant us a limited, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, transmit, process and display your content solely in order to operate the Service for you: syncing it between your devices, generating summaries, and showing it back to you. This licence ends when you delete the content or your account, subject to short-lived backups.

We do not train on your content. We do not use your tasks, notes or screenshots to train AI models, and our AI provider is contractually barred from doing so with the text we send them.

Your responsibility for what you capture. Nota captures whatever is on your screen. You are solely responsible for having the right to capture, store and process that content. Do not use Nota to capture material you have no right to capture: other people's confidential information, personal data you have no lawful basis to hold, protected health or payment card data, classified material, or content that infringes someone else's rights. Where you capture another person's personal data, you are the controller of that data and you are responsible for handling it lawfully.

8. Acceptable use

You must not:

use Nota to break the law or infringe anyone's rights;
upload or store malware, or use Nota to distribute unlawful, harassing, defamatory or infringing content;
probe, scan, or attempt to breach the Service, other users' data, or our providers' systems;
bypass authentication, entitlement checks, trial limits or rate limits, or forge tokens;
automate, scrape, or place unreasonable load on the Service, or use it to build a dataset or a competing service;
resell or provide the Service to third parties.

We may investigate suspected breaches and may suspend or terminate accounts involved.

9. Third-party services

Nota depends on third parties:

Supabase: database, authentication and file storage.
Stripe: subscription payments.
Anthropic: AI summarization, as a fallback on Macs without Apple Intelligence, using text only.
Apple: on-device summarization via Apple Intelligence, and macOS itself.
Google: optional sign-in, if you choose it.
Claude / ChatGPT: only if you click "open in", and only for the task you chose.

Your use of those services is subject to their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for third-party services, and we are not liable for their acts or omissions. If a provider changes or discontinues something we rely on, features may change.

10. Availability

We try to keep Nota available and working, but we do not promise uninterrupted or error-free service. We may perform maintenance, and we may suspend the Service where necessary to protect it, our users, or to comply with the law. We do not offer a service-level agreement on these plans.

11. Beta features

We may label features "beta", "preview" or "experimental". They are provided as-is, may be changed or removed, may not work reliably, and are excluded from any commitment in these Terms.

12. Feedback

If you send us ideas or suggestions, we may use them freely, without obligation or payment to you. You are not required to send us feedback.

13. Disclaimers

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy and non-infringement.

We do not warrant that AI-generated titles or subtasks will be accurate, complete or suitable for any purpose. AI output can be wrong. Do not rely on it for decisions of consequence without checking the underlying capture.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or anything else that cannot lawfully be excluded. If you are a consumer, you have statutory rights that these Terms do not affect.

14. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law:

we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, punitive or consequential loss; loss of profits, revenue, goodwill, business or anticipated savings; or loss or corruption of data or content;
our total aggregate liability for all claims arising out of or relating to the Service in any 12-month period is limited to the greater of (a) the total amount you paid us in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim, and (b) USD 50.

This allocation of risk is reflected in our pricing. Consumer statutory rights are unaffected.

15. Indemnity

If you use Nota for business purposes (that is, not as a consumer), you will indemnify us against claims, losses and reasonable costs arising from your breach of these Terms, your misuse of the Service, or content you captured, stored or shared using it.

16. Suspension and termination

You may stop using Nota and delete your account at any time from Settings → Profile → Delete account. Deletion is permanent.

We may suspend or terminate your access if you materially breach these Terms, if we are required to by law, or to protect the Service or other users. Where reasonable and lawful, we will tell you first and give you a chance to fix it. If we terminate without cause, we will refund the unused portion of any period you have paid for.

Clauses that by their nature should survive termination (including 7, 13, 14, 15, 18 and 19) survive.

17. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. We will change the date at the top and, for material changes, notify you in the app or by email at least 14 days before they take effect. If you keep using Nota after that, you accept the new Terms. If you do not accept them, cancel and stop using Nota; if you had already paid for a period, you can ask us for a prorated refund of the remainder.

18. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of [POLAND], without regard to conflict-of-law rules. The courts of [CITY, POLAND] have exclusive jurisdiction.

If you are a consumer, this does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory laws of the country where you live, and you may bring proceedings in your home courts. Consumers in the EU may also use the European Commission's online dispute resolution platform, and consumers in Poland may seek assistance from a municipal or district consumer ombudsman (rzecznik konsumentów) or from the Trade Inspection (Inspekcja Handlowa).

We would much rather sort it out directly: email team@routa.io first.

19. General

These Terms, the Refund policy and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between us about the Service. If a provision is found unenforceable, the rest stands. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them to an affiliate or in connection with a merger or sale of the business, as long as your rights are not reduced. There are no third-party beneficiaries. Nothing here creates a partnership, agency or employment relationship.

NOTE

§14: the "greater of amount paid or USD 50" floor is deliberate. A pure "amount paid" cap can be read as illusory (a trial user paid zero) and some courts dislike that.
§7 "we do not train on your content" is a promise you must be able to keep. It is true for Anthropic's API by default; confirm your Apple Intelligence usage and any future analytics tooling doesn't quietly break it.
§16: the 24-month inactive-deletion clause is optional but it is how you stop paying storage costs forever. Delete the clause if you'd rather keep everything.
If you ever ship to the Mac App Store, Apple requires their own EULA terms and their IAP for subscriptions. That would be a rewrite, not a patch.
