• Task management (tasks)
• Habits and streaks
• Focus mode (deep work timer)

2. Operator

The operator of the app is:

3. Type of app and role of the operator

Ritmo is a personal productivity and organization application. The app supports the user in structuring their own tasks, tracking habits and organizing focus times.

The operator exclusively provides the technical application. In particular, Ritmo is not an offer of medical, psychological, therapeutic, health, legal, tax or financial advice. All content, information, motivational texts, key figures (such as the Focus Score) and evaluations presented in the app serve exclusively for personal information and self-organization.

The user makes his own decisions - particularly with regard to health, sleep, nutrition, exercise or workload. If you have any health questions, seek professional advice.

4. Registration, user account and guest mode

Ritmo can be used either with a user account or in guest mode.

a) User account

An account can be created using an email address and password or through Google or Apple sign-in services. The user undertakes to provide truthful, complete and current information and to update it immediately if there are any changes.

b) Guest mode

The app can be used without registration. In this case, the content is assigned to an anonymous identifier. The user expressly acknowledges that there is no cross-device synchronization and no backup in guest mode. If you lose, reset or uninstall the app or change your device, all data created in guest mode can be irretrievably lost. There is no right to restoration.

There is no right to register or permanently maintain a user account.

5. Permitted Users and Minimum Age

The use of Ritmo is permitted to people who have reached the age of 16. Minors may only use the app within the framework of the legal requirements and, if necessary, with the consent of their legal guardians.

6. Scope of services of the app

In particular, Ritmo can provide the following functions:

• Registration, login and guest access
• Create, edit and delete tasks including categories, priorities, notes, due dates and recurrences
• Habits management including symbol selection, series and history
• Focus mode with timer, breaks and optional linking to a task
• Statistics, progress and activity evaluations
• Push notifications and reminders
• Live Activities on supported iOS devices
• Export the tasks as CSV or PDF files
• Personalization (e.g. appearance, categories, onboarding preferences)

The specific scope of functions may change as a result of technical, organizational or legal developments. There is no entitlement to a specific function or its permanent availability.

7. Permitted Use and User Responsibilities

The user agrees to use the app exclusively in accordance with applicable law and these Terms of Use.

In particular, the following are prohibited:

• the storage or distribution of illegal, offensive, discriminatory or otherwise inappropriate content
• automated mass access, scraping or the use of bots
• the circumvention of technical protective measures
• Reverse engineering, decompiling or modifying the app, unless expressly permitted by law
• abusive multiple accounts
• Attacks on the availability, integrity or security of the platform

8. Account Security

The user is obliged to treat his access data confidentially and to protect it from unauthorized access. Passwords may not be passed on to third parties. If misuse is suspected, the access data must be changed immediately and the operator informed.

The operator may take appropriate protective measures in the event of suspected misuse, security breaches or unauthorized use, in particular additional verifications, restrictions or blocks.

9. User Content

All content created by the user in the app — including tasks, notes, categories and habits — is the sole responsibility of the user. The user guarantees that the content he/she enters does not violate the rights of third parties and does not violate applicable law.

The user grants the operator a simple, non-exclusive right, limited to the duration of use, to technically store, process and synchronize this content to the extent that this is necessary to provide the service. There will be no use beyond this, particularly for advertising purposes.

The user is advised not to store special categories of personal data (such as third-party health data), access data, passwords or other highly sensitive information in tasks or notes.

10. Notifications and Reminders

The app can send push notifications and reminders, particularly daily reminders, streak reminders, due task and habit reminders, weekly reviews, and occasional motivational reminders.

Shipping only takes place if the user has activated notifications. Activation can be revoked at any time in the app settings or in the system settings of the device.

The operator assumes no liability for the punctual, complete or at all delivery of notifications. Delivery depends on the operating system, network connection, device settings (such as energy saving mode or focus modes of the operating system) and third-party services. Notifications are not suitable as a reliable reminder for time-critical or security-relevant processes.

11. Focus Mode and Live Activities

Focus mode provides a timer to structure work and break phases. The recording of focus sessions is for personal information only.

On supported iOS devices, the running timer can be displayed as a so-called Live Activity on the lock screen and in the Dynamic Island. The timer and title of a linked task can be visible even when the device is locked. The user is responsible for not using any confidential information in task titles when using this ad. Live Activities can be deactivated in the system settings of the device.

12. Data export

The app allows tasks to be exported as CSV or PDF files. The export is generated locally on the end device. The generated file is passed on exclusively by the user and is his sole responsibility. The operator has no influence on who the user sends exported files to.

13. Synchronization, data backup and data loss

When used with an account, content is stored via cloud services and synchronized between devices. The operator endeavors to ensure reliable storage, but does not owe any data protection in the sense of a backup and does not guarantee the permanent, complete and error-free availability of stored content.

The user is required to save important content himself, in particular using the export function provided. Point 4 lit. b also applies to guest mode.

14. Availability and technical changes

The operator strives to ensure stable and secure operation, but does not guarantee constant and uninterrupted availability. Restrictions may arise in particular due to maintenance work, technical malfunctions, server failures, failures of external services, synchronization delays and late or missing notifications.

The operator is not liable for mere interruptions in availability, unless there is mandatory legal liability.

15. Free and future paid features

Ritmo is currently provided free of charge. There is no right to permanent, free use.

The operator reserves the right to introduce paid functions in the future. Such functions will be clearly marked as chargeable before the contract is concluded; Additional terms and conditions as well as the billing conditions of the respective app store provider apply to them. This means that existing free core functions do not become retroactively chargeable.

16. Blocking, restriction and deletion of user accounts

The operator is entitled to temporarily restrict, block or permanently delete user accounts if, in particular:

• these Terms of Use are violated,
• false, misleading or abusive information is provided,
• there is suspicion of security or misuse,
• the integrity or security of the platform is compromised,
• legal obligations require this or
• technical or operational reasons make this necessary.

As far as possible and reasonable, the user will be informed about essential measures.

17. Deletion of the account by the user

The user can delete their account at any time using the function provided in the app. In guest mode, the data can be deleted using the reset function.

Upon deletion, the user loses access to all content. Recovering deleted data is not possible. Data protection processing is also governed by the data protection declaration.

18. Intellectual Property

The app, its design, software, brands, logos, symbols and texts are protected by copyright or trademark law and remain with the operator or the respective rights holders.

The user receives a simple, non-transferable, revocable right to use the app as intended on their devices. Any use beyond this, in particular reproduction, processing, distribution or commercial exploitation, requires prior written consent. The content created in the app remains with the user.

19. Liability

The operator is liable in accordance with legal regulations in the event of intent and gross negligence, in the event of injury to life, body or health, as well as in cases of mandatory statutory liability.

In the case of slight negligence, the operator is only liable for breach of essential contractual obligations and is limited to the foreseeable, typically occurring damage.

Liability is excluded - to the extent permitted by law - in particular for loss of data, for notifications that are not delivered, are delivered late or are incomplete, for decisions made by the user based on the evaluations presented in the app and for disruptions to third-party services.

20. Technical Third Party Providers

Ritmo uses third-party technical services and infrastructure, in particular for authentication, data storage and synchronization as well as push notifications. In particular, services from Firebase / Google as well as registration services from Google and Apple can be used for this purpose. Further information can be found in the data protection declaration.

21. Notes on the app store providers

The app can be obtained via the Apple App Store or Google Play. These terms of use are concluded exclusively between the user and the operator; the app store providers are not a party to the contract.

The app store providers are not responsible for the app, its content, maintenance, support or any warranty claims. The following also applies to Apple: Apple and its subsidiaries are third party beneficiaries of these Terms of Use and are entitled to enforce them against the user. The terms of use of the respective app store provider also apply.

22. Changes to Terms of Use

The operator reserves the right to adapt these terms of use, in particular in the event of technical developments, changes to legal requirements, changes to the scope of functions or security or operational requirements.

Users will be informed of any significant changes in an appropriate form. Continued use of the app after the changes come into effect may constitute consent to the extent permitted by law.

23. Severability clause

Should a provision of these terms of use be or become wholly or partially ineffective or unenforceable, the effectiveness of the remaining provisions remains unaffected. The statutory regulation shall replace the invalid provision.

24. Applicable Law and Contact

The law of the Republic of Austria applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, unless this conflicts with any mandatory consumer protection regulations of the country in which the user has his habitual residence.
