GeodeGeode Terms of Use
In short: your photos stay yours and encrypted, exporting them is always free, and Apple handles every payment.
1. The basics
By using Geode, you agree to these terms and to Apple's standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement. Geode is made by KoingDev, and you can reach us at support@koing.dev. If you're under the age of majority where you live, a parent or guardian must agree for you.
2. Your vault
Your photos and videos stay yours: we get no rights to them and can't see them. Geode encrypts them on your device and backs them up to your own iCloud, under Apple's iCloud terms.
- Keep your passcode and Recovery Kit safe. We never see them and can't reset them, so if you lose both, no one can open your vault. Anyone who knows your passcode can open it.
- Keep a second copy of anything irreplaceable. We can't restore what Apple loses.
- Use Geode lawfully. You're responsible for what you store.
3. Plans and payments
| What you get | Free | Plus |
|---|---|---|
| Open, view, export and back up | Yes | Yes |
| Add photos and videos | Up to 100 photos and 10 videos | Unlimited |
| Search, duplicates and slideshows | No | Yes |
| Devices | One at a time | Your iPhone and iPad, in sync |
- Free month. A new vault gets Plus free for 30 days, once per Apple Account. Nothing is charged, and there's nothing to cancel.
- Subscriptions renew automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the period ends, in Settings › your name › Subscriptions. Apple handles payments and refunds (reportaproblem.apple.com).
- Lifetime is one payment for every Plus feature, including new ones, that runs on your devices and stores data in your iCloud, for as long as we offer Geode.
4. Always yours
- Opening, viewing, exporting and backing up your vault is free on every plan, forever. When a plan ends, nothing is locked or deleted.
- If we ever stop offering Geode, we'll tell you at least 90 days ahead, and the last version will keep exporting your vault.
5. Changes and liability
- Changes. No update will take away exporting, backing up or anything Lifetime covers. If we change these terms in a way that matters to you, we'll tell you in the app 30 days ahead.
- Liability. To the extent the law allows, Geode is provided "as is" and we aren't liable for indirect losses. Our total liability is limited to what you paid for Geode in the last 12 months. Your rights under consumer law aren't affected.
- Privacy. The app collects no data about you; our Privacy Policy has the details.
