Terms of Service

Last updated: September 8, 2026. Dotoist ("the app") is a free, open-source task manager at dotoist.com. By using it, you agree to these terms.

1. What Dotoist is

Dotoist is a local-first web app with an optional Dotoist sync backend. There is no third-party cloud storing your data.
Your lists, tasks, time records, settings and panel sizes live in your own browser (localStorage).
Optional sync and reminders move data only between your browser and your Dotoist account. Dotoist's authors never sell, share, or process your data for any other purpose.
The app is provided as-is under the MIT License (see LICENSE in the repository), without warranties of any kind.

Use Dotoist only for lawful purposes. Do not use it to store or transmit content that is illegal, infringes others' rights, or contains malware.
You are responsible for the content you enter (tasks, notes, references, subtasks) and for keeping your own backups via Sync dialog → Export.
Do not attempt to disrupt the hosted copy of the app or misrepresent it as someone else's product.

Sync and reminder emails are provided by Dotoist. Connecting is optional; the app works fully offline without it.
Sync uses tokens issued by email code in Sync \& Settings. Disconnect (or revoke the token) immediately stops sync and reminders for that device.
The Home weather card uses Open-Meteo, BigDataCloud and ipapi.co for location fallback. Their terms apply when that card loads.

The hosted copy at dotoist.com is a best-effort static site. It may be unavailable during hosting outages or while an update rolls out.
Features may change between versions. Installed (PWA) copies update when you open the app with internet; the sidebar Update button forces the newest version.
These terms may be updated; the "Last updated" date above will change. Continued use after an update means you accept the new terms.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Dotoist's authors are not liable for any loss of data, loss of profits, or indirect damages arising from use of the app — including data lost by clearing browser storage without an export or sync copy.
Your sole remedy if you disagree with these terms is to stop using the app and delete its browser data.
