Terms of Service

Benjamin Straatmann, MakeByte, Thamaschstraße 2, 86687 Kaisheim, Germany. Email: hello@bestir.app. Details in the Impressum.

Bestir is a productivity and planning app for iOS and Android. It helps you plan your day, see what to do next and get started, including a focus timer, energy modes, reminders, calendar integration, voice input and optional AI features.

Bestir is not a medical device. It does not provide medical diagnosis, therapy or treatment and is not a substitute for professional medical, psychological or therapeutic advice. If you need medical support, please contact qualified professionals.

You must be at least 13 years old and provide a valid email address. Keep your password secret. You are responsible for activity under your account. If you suspect unauthorized access, tell us right away at hello@bestir.app.

Bestir has a free version that you can use without a time limit. Pro adds extra features and is available as an in-app subscription through the Apple App Store or Google Play. The current price is shown in the store before you buy.

Subscriptions renew automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can cancel at any time in your store account (Apple: Settings, your name, Subscriptions; Google: Play Store, Payments and subscriptions). Access continues until the end of the paid period. Payment, refunds and free trials are handled by Apple or Google under their terms. If we offer a free trial, the paid subscription starts automatically at the end of the trial unless you cancel before.

Some features use AI provided by OpenAI to suggest steps, check-in messages or to transcribe your voice. They are optional and only work after you agree in the app. AI suggestions can be wrong or unsuitable. They are meant to help you get started, not as advice. Do not rely on them for medical, legal or financial decisions.

Everything you enter in Bestir (tasks, notes, plans) remains yours. You grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to process it only as far as needed to provide the Service. We claim no rights to your personal planning content.

The app, its design, code, texts and the Bestir brand belong to MakeByte. You receive a limited, non-transferable, non-exclusive license for personal use. You may not decompile or reverse-engineer the app, copy or modify it, or use our trademarks without permission, unless the law expressly allows it.

Please don’t misuse the Service. In particular, no automated access (bots, scrapers), no attempts to get around security measures, no use for unlawful purposes, no sharing of your login and no malicious code.

We aim for high availability but cannot guarantee it. Maintenance or outages at service providers can interrupt the Service. We may change, extend or remove features; we inform paying users in good time about significant changes that affect them. If we discontinue the Service, we inform active Pro users at least 30 days in advance.

You can delete your account at any time, in the app or by email, as described on Delete your account. All personal data is removed within 30 days. You can request an export of your stored data by email to hello@bestir.app; we process such requests within 30 days.

We are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health and under the German Product Liability Act. For simple negligence we are only liable for breaches of essential contractual obligations (obligations whose fulfillment makes the proper performance of the contract possible and on which you may regularly rely), limited to the foreseeable damage typical for this type of contract. Otherwise our liability is excluded. Statutory consumer rights remain unaffected.

We may suspend or delete accounts that seriously breach these terms. For serious breaches this can happen without prior warning.

German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). If you are a consumer, this choice of law does not deprive you of the protection of mandatory provisions of the country where you live. For merchants, the place of jurisdiction is Augsburg, Germany. We are neither willing nor obliged to take part in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.

We may update these terms. We inform you about significant changes at least 30 days before they take effect, in the app or by email. If you do not object before they take effect, the new terms apply; we point this out in the notice. You can delete your account at any time.

If a provision of these terms is invalid, the rest remains valid. In case of doubt, the German version of these terms prevails over the English one where they differ.
