Agreement

Terms of Service

The agreement between you and Thoughts to Stars. Written clearly to be read, not to hide behind.

Effective August 2026 · Last updated August 2026

1. Acceptance of These Terms

By downloading, installing, or using Thoughts to Stars / 杂念星空 ("the app"), you agree to these Terms of Service and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the app.

2. Description of the Service

Thoughts to Stars is a private, offline journaling sanctuary — a personal galaxy for writing down and releasing intrusive thoughts. The app lets you:

  • Write thoughts and tag them with an emotional mood and intensity;
  • See them as stars in your personal night sky (the Galaxy);
  • Perform a release ritual that permanently deletes the text of a thought;
  • Explore released stars in a 3D Atlas sky, link stars, draw figures, and create collectible sigil plates;
  • View gentle statistics in "My Star River".

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old, or the minimum age required in your country to use apps with in-app purchases, whichever is higher. If you are under the age of majority, you may use the app only with a parent or guardian's permission.

4. Subscriptions

Thoughts to Stars is free to download. After the opening, continuing to use the sky requires an in-app purchase through the Apple App Store or Google Play: an auto-renewing monthly or yearly subscription, or a one-time Lifetime purchase. There is no separate free feature set inside the app — any of these plans unlocks the whole sky.

Payment is charged to your store account at confirmation. Monthly and yearly plans renew unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in your App Store or Google Play account settings. Lifetime is a one-time purchase and does not renew. Unused portions of a period are not refunded except where required by law. Prices are shown in the app at purchase and may vary by region.

5. Important Mental Health Disclaimer

Thoughts to Stars is not a medical device, not therapy, and not medical advice. It is a writing and emotional release tool. Nothing in the app should be interpreted as diagnosis or treatment.

Thoughts to Stars is not a crisis service. The app works offline and cannot monitor or respond to what you write. If you are in crisis or thinking about harming yourself, please reach out immediately to emergency services or call/text 988 in the US/Canada, or contact your local crisis hotline.

6. Acceptable Use

Use the app only for its intended personal purpose. Do not attempt to reverse-engineer, disrupt, or misuse the service, or use it to violate applicable law. The app is a private sanctuary; you are responsible for how you use it on your device.

7. Intellectual Property & Your Content

The app code, visual artwork, and brand are owned by us. All content you write belongs 100% to you. Because your writing never leaves your device, we claim no rights, licenses, or ownership over anything you create.

8. Limitation of Liability

The app is provided "as is". To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for lost data (including thoughts you release or lose if you delete the app), device issues, store billing handled by Apple or Google, or any indirect or consequential damages. Because we never receive your writing, we cannot restore it.

9. Changes

We may update these Terms. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will change when we do. Continued use of the app after an update means you accept the revised Terms.
