Terms of Service
Last updated: February 21, 2026
These terms govern your use of Mora apps and the mora.app website. They're written to be readable, not to obscure anything.
Acceptance of terms
By downloading, installing, or using any Mora application or visiting mora.app (collectively, the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the Service. These Terms apply to all users of Mora apps, including Mora Journal and any future Mora applications.
Description of the service
Mora provides personal productivity and reflection tools, beginning with Mora Journal — a private, offline-first journaling app for iOS. The apps are provided free of charge. Optional tips support continued development but are never required to access any feature.
Mora does not require an account, collect personal information, or store any of your data on remote servers. All journal data remains on your device. For full details, see our Privacy Policy.
Your content
You retain full ownership of everything you write, record, or store within Mora apps. Mora does not access, read, or transmit your journal entries or any other personal content to any server. We make no claim to your content whatsoever.
You are solely responsible for:
- The content you create within the app
- Maintaining backups of your data — Mora provides encrypted backup and export tools for this purpose, but we cannot recover data lost due to device failure, accidental deletion, or app uninstall
- Ensuring your use of the app complies with all applicable laws in your jurisdiction
Acceptable use
You agree not to use the Service to:
- Violate any applicable local, national, or international law
- Attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or tamper with the app in ways that circumvent Apple App Store or Google Play policies
- Distribute modified versions of Mora apps without express written permission
- Use the app in any manner that could damage, overload, or impair the app or associated services
Mora is a personal journaling tool intended for individual use. While there are no content restrictions imposed by us (your journal is private), you remain responsible for ensuring your usage is lawful.
Tips and purchases
Mora includes an optional Tip Jar. Tips are voluntary payments that support development and do not unlock additional features. The following terms apply to all in-app purchases:
- All transactions are processed by the Apple App Store or Google Play and are subject to their respective terms and refund policies
- Mora does not process payments directly and does not store any payment information
- Tips are non-refundable except where required by applicable law or app store policy
- Pricing is displayed in your local currency at the time of purchase and may vary by region
For refund requests, please contact Apple Support or Google Play Support directly.
Intellectual property
The Mora name, logo, app design, and all associated branding are property of Mora and may not be used without explicit written permission. The app's source code, UI design, and underlying technology are protected by applicable intellectual property laws.
Emoji artwork included in Mora Journal is used with attribution under the terms of the respective creators. Credits are available within the app under Settings › About.
Disclaimers
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.
Mora does not warrant that:
- The app will be available continuously or without interruption
- The app will be free of bugs, errors, or defects
- Data stored within the app will never be lost due to device failure, iOS update incompatibility, or other circumstances beyond our control
Journaling and breathing exercises offered in Mora apps are not a substitute for professional mental health care. If you are experiencing a mental health crisis, please contact a qualified professional or emergency services.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Mora and its developers shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages — including loss of data, loss of profits, or business interruption — arising from your use of or inability to use the Service, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Our total liability to you for any claim arising from your use of the Service shall not exceed the total amount you have paid to Mora in the twelve months prior to the claim (which in most cases will be zero, as the app is free).
Governing law
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any dispute arising under these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in California.
Changes to these terms
We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the Service after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
