Terms of Service

Effective Date: January 29, 2026

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the TLDR mobile application (the “App”). The App is provided by Smart Code Solutions LLC (“Smart Code Solutions,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

1. Eligibility and Acceptance

You must be legally able to enter into these Terms. If you are using the App on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization, and “you” includes the organization.

2. Description of the App

TLDR helps you turn content you provide—such as articles, web pages, PDFs, screenshots, images, and pasted text—into summaries and related outputs.

The App may include features such as:

  • Capturing/importing content (e.g., files, screenshots, photos, pasted text)

  • Text extraction (including OCR where needed)

  • AI-assisted summarization (short and long summaries)

  • Re-summarization using custom prompts

  • Search across your saved captures

  • Optional audio generation from summaries

On-device processing: TLDR is designed so that text extraction and summary generation occur on your device.

3. iCloud Storage and Sync

TLDR may store your app data (including captures, extracted text, summaries, and app settings) in your personal iCloud account to enable backup and syncing across devices signed into the same Apple ID (if you have iCloud enabled for the App).

Important points:

  • iCloud storage is provided and controlled by Apple under Apple’s terms and policies.

  • We do not operate the iCloud service and do not control Apple’s systems.

  • We do not receive or store your captures, extracted text, or summaries on our own servers in the normal operation of the App.

  • If you disable iCloud for TLDR, your data may remain only on-device (subject to your device settings and backups).

You are responsible for managing your iCloud settings and ensuring you are comfortable with iCloud storage for your data.

4. License to Use the App

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App for your personal, non-commercial use, subject to these Terms and applicable law.

You may not:

  • Copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, sublicense, or commercially exploit any part of the App

  • Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to extract source code (except to the extent permitted by law)

  • Circumvent security or access restrictions

  • Interfere with or disrupt the App, its integrity, or performance

  • Use the App in a manner that violates any law or infringes the rights of others
