Focus Four — Terms of Service for Android and iOS

Effective date: 31 October 2026

App: Focus Four for Android and iOS (bundle ID / package com.vericodestudio.focusfour)

Brand: VeriCode — Independent Software Studio

Provider: VeriCode, operated by its proprietor in India ("we", "us")

1. Acceptance

These Terms govern your use of the Focus Four app on Android and iOS. By installing or using the app you agree to them. If you do not agree, do not use the app. Opening this page does not record acceptance, and the app does not ask you to accept the Terms on screen. Nothing here limits rights that the law does not let you waive. The Privacy Policy explains how data is handled.

2. Eligibility

Focus Four is for people aged 13 and over. It is not directed to children under 13, and the app does not check age. If you are under the age of majority where you live, use the app only with a parent or guardian's permission. You need no account or sign-in.

3. What the app does

Focus Four is a personal task planner. You add tasks with a priority from 1 to 4, optional subtasks and a carry setting. The app shows today's board, History and Insights, lets you complete, archive and reopen tasks, and offers Undo for recent actions. You can export a backup file, restore one, and delete all data. On iOS, a Today widget for the Home Screen and Lock Screen shows today's open tasks and lets you tick one off. On Android and iOS, long-pressing the app icon offers shortcuts to Add task, Today and This week.

Automatic behaviour you should know about:

Carry-forward. Unfinished tasks move to the next day. Depending on each task's carry setting and your default, a carried task may be raised one priority level. You can change the setting, and the app has a date-repair option if your time zone or date is wrong.
Counts and summaries. Weekly totals and Insights are calculated on your device from your saved history.
Feedback. Completion animation and vibration are display effects only. You can turn them off in Settings.
Widget ticks (iOS). A task ticked off on the Today widget is saved the next time you open the app, dated when you ticked it. A tick for a task that has changed since, or from an earlier day, is not saved, and the app tells you. Ticks from the widget show no Undo, animation or vibration.

The app uses fixed rules, not artificial intelligence. It does not give advice, and its ordering and counts are only as accurate as what you enter, your device clock and your time zone.

4. Free app

The current version is free. It has no purchases, subscriptions or advertising. These Terms do not authorise any charge. We would announce any paid feature in a new version, and it would need its own terms before you could be charged.

5. Your data and backups

Your tasks are stored only on your device. You keep ownership of what you enter. We claim no right to your content and do not receive it.

You are responsible for your data. We keep no copy, so we cannot recover it. Data may be lost if you delete it, reset or uninstall the app, lose or change your device, or if a storage error or an interrupted update occurs. Android automatic cloud backup is disabled. On iOS, the app marks its database directory and the widget's shared container for exclusion from iCloud and computer backups. Exported files are not covered by these exclusions. Make backups with Export if the tasks matter to you, and keep the file safe. Backup files are not encrypted. Restoring a backup replaces your current tasks, history, drafts and settings, so export first if you want to keep what you have. The app limits restored files to 10 MB, 20,000 tasks and 100,000 history events, and task titles to 200 characters.

"Delete all data" removes the app's data from your device. It does not delete exported files, which you must remove yourself.

6. Acceptable use

Use the app lawfully. Do not:

copy, resell or redistribute the app, except as the law allows;
decompile, reverse engineer or tamper with it, except where the law gives you that right;
use it to store or share content that is unlawful or violates another person's rights;
use it in a way that harms others or interferes with the app or your device.

We do not host, view or moderate your tasks.

7. Licence and ownership

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use the app on your devices for your own planning. The app's software, design and branding belong to us or our licensors. The app includes open-source and third-party components, such as Expo, React Native and the Inter typeface, under their own licences. These Terms do not change those licences. A VeriCode name or logo does not give you rights to use the brand. The app does not claim any registered trademark.

8. Other services

The planner works offline on Android and iOS. Opening hosted legal pages, visiting app stores or contacting support requires an internet connection. When you export or restore, you use the system Share sheet and file picker on Android or iOS, and any app or cloud service you choose handles the file under its own terms and privacy policy. Google Play on Android, the Apple App Store on iOS and your device's operating system provide installation and updates under their own terms. We are not responsible for them.

9. Not professional advice

Focus Four is a planning aid. It is not a medical, legal, financial or safety tool. Do not rely on it as the only reminder for anything where a missed task could cause harm. It sends no notifications or alarms.

10. Disclaimers

The app is provided "as is" and "as available". To the extent the law allows, we make no warranty that it will be error-free, uninterrupted or fit for a particular purpose, or that data will never be lost. We may change or stop supporting features. Some places do not allow these exclusions, so they may not apply to you in full. Your statutory consumer rights are not affected.

11. Limits on liability

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential loss, or for loss of data, profit or opportunity arising from your use of the app. Where the law does not allow us to exclude or limit liability, for example for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud, that liability stays. Because the app is free, any liability we do have is limited to the extent the law permits.

12. Ending your use

You can stop using the app at any time by uninstalling it. The app has no accounts for us to suspend. We may stop offering or supporting the app, or withdraw it from the stores where it is distributed, at any time. Sections that by their nature should continue (ownership, disclaimers, liability, governing law) survive. Uninstalling removes the app's data from your device as described in the Privacy Policy.

13. Changes

We may update these Terms. We will post the revised Terms on this page with a new effective date, and give any additional notice the law requires. If you keep using the app after a change takes effect, you accept the revised Terms, to the extent the law allows. If you disagree, stop using the app.

14. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of India, subject to any mandatory consumer rights you have where you live. Disputes may be brought before a court with jurisdiction under applicable law. This does not take away any right you have under the mandatory consumer-protection laws of your country of residence.
