Terms of Service

Last updated: October 2026

By using Inner Anchor, you agree to these terms. They're written in plain language. If something is unclear, email us; don't guess.

The service

Inner Anchor is a set of apps for web, desktop, iOS, and Android that helps you plan your day with a short task list, a purpose line, and a focus session. It also holds your journal, Papers, Compass Entries, Schedule, and Bookshelf. It's a personal tool with no team features, no collaboration, and no public sharing.

We're a small operation (one founder). The product is actively developed and may change. We'll do our best to keep it running reliably, but we can't guarantee 100% uptime.

Your account

You need an account to use Inner Anchor. You must be at least 16 years old to create one. You're responsible for keeping your sign-in credentials secure. If you suspect unauthorized access, email support@useinneranchor.com immediately.

One account per person. Don't share your account or let others use it on your behalf.

Your content

Everything you create in Inner Anchor (tasks, journal entries, Compass Entries, Papers, Schedule Entries, Focus Sessions, books, and other content) belongs to you. We don't claim ownership of your content. We store it on your behalf so it syncs across your devices.

We do not sell your content or use it for advertising. We process it only to deliver the service to you. See our Privacy Policy for specifics.

Acceptable use

Don't use Inner Anchor to:

• Break any law or regulation
• Attempt to access other users' accounts or data
• Interfere with the service's operation (attacks, scraping, automated abuse)
• Resell or redistribute access to the service

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms. We'd rather not, but if we must, we'll tell you why.

Payments and billing

Inner Anchor offers free and paid plans. Paid plans are billed monthly or annually, depending on what you choose. Prices are listed on our pricing page.

Polar is our payment processor and the merchant of record. Polar hosts the checkout, handles your card details, and sends billing emails and invoices. Card details never reach Inner Anchor.

When you subscribe, you authorize us to charge your payment method on a recurring basis until you cancel. You can cancel anytime; you'll keep access through the end of your current billing period.

The Lifetime plan is a one-time payment for permanent access to the service, as long as the service exists. If we ever shut down Inner Anchor entirely (which we don't plan to), we'll give you reasonable notice and export access.

We may change pricing in the future. If we do, existing subscribers keep their current rate until they cancel or change plans. We'll notify you before any price change takes effect.

See our Refund Policy for details on refunds and cancellations.

Free plan

The Free plan is how you try Inner Anchor. It has no time limit and needs no credit card. Monthly and Annual have no free period: your plan starts when you pay at checkout through Polar. You can cancel anytime and keep access through the end of your billing period.

Availability

We aim to keep Inner Anchor available and fast, but we don't guarantee uninterrupted service. Downtime happens for maintenance, infrastructure issues, or things outside our control. We won't be liable for losses caused by temporary unavailability.

Intellectual property

Inner Anchor's design, code, brand, and content are owned by us. You get a personal, non-transferable license to use the service while your account is active. Don't copy, reverse-engineer, or redistribute the product.

Limitation of liability

Inner Anchor is a productivity tool, not a critical system. We do our best to keep your data safe and the service running, but we're provided "as is" without warranty.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our liability to you is limited to the amount you've paid us in the 12 months before the issue arose. We're not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages.

Inner Anchor is not a medical tool, therapy, or ADHD treatment. It's a task manager. If you're struggling with clinical issues, professional support can help alongside any tool.

Account termination

You can delete your account in the app under Settings, then Account. The account enters a 30-day grace period, and you can cancel the deletion until it ends. If you want the account removed at once, choose the permanent option and type DELETE. We refuse deletion while a live recurring subscription exists, so cancel the subscription first. On mobile, the Account screen opens these settings in a browser sheet.

After the grace period, we purge the account. Backups and copies held by our providers persist for their retention periods. See the retention section of our Privacy Policy. To export your data, email support@useinneranchor.com and we will handle your request.

We may terminate accounts that violate these terms. If we do, we'll explain why and give you an opportunity to export your data where reasonable.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as the product evolves. For meaningful changes, we'll notify you by email at least 14 days before they take effect. If you disagree with the changes, you can cancel your account before the new terms apply.
