Habitask is a personal productivity application for iOS that allows you to manage tasks, track habits, and organize projects. The App is currently free to use with no in-app purchases or subscription fees.
We reserve the right to introduce paid features, change pricing, or modify the App at any time. If we introduce paid features, we will give you reasonable notice before any changes take effect.
Habitask is local-first. All your tasks, habits, and projects are stored directly on your device. The App works fully offline — it does not depend on our servers to function. Our servers are only used to authenticate your account (sign in, sign up, verify email). Even if our servers experience downtime, all your data and the core features of the App remain fully accessible.
Because your data lives on your device, we recommend keeping your iPhone backed up via iCloud or iTunes. This ensures your Habitask data is safe if you switch devices or reinstall the App. You can also export everything at any time from Settings → Export data.
To use Habitask you must create an account. By creating an account you confirm that:
You may only create one account per person. Creating multiple accounts to circumvent restrictions or abuse the service is not permitted.
You retain full ownership of all content you create in Habitask — your tasks, habits, projects, folders, tags, and any other data you input ("Your Content").
Your content never leaves your device. All tasks, habits, projects, and tags are stored exclusively in a local database on your iPhone or iPad. Petala Noar's servers never receive, store, or process this content. The only information stored on our servers is your account details — your name, email address, and a hashed password — which are needed solely to authenticate you.
Because we never receive your content, we make no claim of ownership over it, do not use it for any purpose, and do not share it with any third party. Your data is yours entirely.
You are solely responsible for your content. You confirm that anything you store in the App does not violate any applicable law or third-party rights.
You agree not to:
Violation of these rules may result in immediate suspension or termination of your account.
The Habitask application, including its name, logo, design, interface, source code, and all related materials, is owned by Yacine Elkeikeli / Petala Noar and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws.
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App on your iOS devices for your own personal, non-commercial purposes, subject to these Terms.
This license does not allow you to copy, modify, distribute, sell, or sublicense any part of the App, nor to use the Habitask name or branding without our prior written permission.
The App is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.
We do not warrant that:
We strongly recommend keeping your device backed up via iCloud and using the built-in export feature (Settings → Export data) as an additional personal backup.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Petala Noar and Yacine Elkeikeli shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of data, loss of profits, or loss of goodwill, arising out of or in connection with your use of or inability to use the App.
Our total liability to you for any claims arising out of or related to these Terms or the App shall not exceed the amount you have paid us in the twelve months preceding the claim. Since the App is currently free, this limit is zero in most cases.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or limitation of liability for certain types of damages. In such jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.
By you: You may stop using Habitask at any time. You can permanently delete your account and all associated server-side data directly from within the App (Settings → Delete account). Deletion is immediate and irreversible. Your local device data (tasks, habits, projects) is also wiped at the same time. Uninstalling the App without first deleting your account removes local data from your device but leaves your account on our servers — log back in and use Settings → Delete account to remove it completely.
By us: We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account if we determine, in our sole discretion, that you have violated these Terms, abused the service, or engaged in any conduct harmful to Petala Noar. We will make reasonable efforts to notify you before termination unless the violation is severe. When we terminate an account, your server-side account data (name, email) is deleted. Your local device data remains on your device until you uninstall the App.
Upon termination, your right to use the App's account-dependent features ceases immediately. The App may still function in a limited offline capacity until reinstalled. Sections covering intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and governing law survive termination.
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, where feasible, notify you through the App. Your continued use of Habitask after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.
If you disagree with the updated Terms, you should stop using the App and delete your account.
Habitask is operated by an independent developer and distributed globally through the Apple App Store. Rather than binding users and the operator to a single country's courts, we follow a practical, tiered approach to resolving disputes.
Step 1 — Informal resolution (required first)
Before filing any formal claim, you agree to contact us at petalanoar.support@gmail.com and give us 30 days to resolve the issue informally. Most concerns can be resolved quickly this way.
Step 2 — Binding arbitration
If informal resolution fails, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the App shall be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered under internationally recognised arbitration rules. Arbitration shall be conducted in English. Each party bears its own costs unless the arbitrator finds a claim frivolous.
You and Petala Noar both waive the right to a jury trial and the right to participate in a class action.
Your local consumer rights are always preserved
Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes any rights you have under the mandatory consumer protection laws of your country of residence. If those laws grant you stronger protections than these Terms provide, those protections apply in full. This includes but is not limited to:
