Terms of Service

Last updated: April 12, 2026

Agreement

By using Patina, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, don't use the app.

What Patina does

Patina is a Mac app that helps you stay organized using an AI assistant. It can connect to third-party services like Google Calendar, Gmail, and messaging apps to give you context about your life.

Your data

You own your data. Patina stores files locally on your device in a folder you control. You can export, move, or delete your data at any time. See our Privacy Policy for details.

Third-party services

Patina connects to third-party APIs (Google, Anthropic, GitHub, Beeper) on your behalf. Your use of those services is subject to their respective terms. Patina is not responsible for the availability or behavior of third-party services.

Fair use of Patina Subscription

Patina Subscription ($30/month) includes Claude usage governed by a fair-use policy. We don't meter individual requests. There is a daily usage ceiling intended to prevent scripted abuse, set well above what normal personal use looks like. Most subscribers will never encounter it.

If your legitimate use approaches or exceeds the ceiling, we'd rather raise your limit than block you. Email hello@patina.md and we'll work it out.

We reserve the right to suspend, rate-limit, or terminate accounts showing patterns of automated abuse, including but not limited to: scripted high-volume API traffic, sharing credentials across users or devices for non-personal use, or using Patina Subscription to resell access to the underlying model provider.

No warranty

Patina is provided as-is. We don't guarantee it will be available, error-free, or meet your specific needs. Use it at your own risk.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Patina and its creator are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the app.

Changes

We may update these terms. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance.
