Terms of Use

Last updated 13 November 2026

Offhand is made by Sam Turner (“we”, “us”). Your use of the Offhand apps is covered by Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement, together with the points below. If the two disagree, Apple's agreement wins.

Your notes are yours

Everything you write in Offhand is yours. It's stored as plain Markdown files on your devices or in your own iCloud, and we claim no rights over it. You're responsible for keeping copies of anything important. iCloud and your devices are run by Apple, not us.

Offhand Pro

• Offhand is free to use on Mac and iPhone, including iCloud sync. Offhand Pro adds voice notes, AI tools on the Mac, calculations, and extra themes, fonts and app icons. It's available monthly, annually or as a one-off lifetime purchase.
• Purchases are made through the App Store and charged to your Apple Account. Prices are shown in the app before you buy.
• Monthly and annual plans renew automatically until you cancel. You can cancel at any time in your App Store account settings, at least 24 hours before the current period ends, and Pro stays on until then.
• The annual plan may start with a free trial. If you don't cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends, the first year is charged when it does.
• A lifetime purchase unlocks Pro for as long as we offer Offhand, with no further charges.
• Pro works on your Mac and iPhone with the same Apple Account. Use Restore Purchases if it doesn't show up.
• Apple handles refunds. You can ask for one at reportaproblem.apple.com.
• If you stop paying, your notes stay exactly as they are and you can keep editing them. Only the Pro features switch off.

Voice notes and AI

On devices without Apple Intelligence, Offhand Pro tidies voice notes with Anthropic's Claude through our voice service, for up to 300 voice notes a month. After that, notes are kept as transcribed until the next month. Tidying, whether by Claude or Apple Intelligence, can get things wrong, so check anything that matters.

If you connect an AI tool on your Mac, it can read your notes and add to them. You choose which tools to connect, and their own terms apply to them.

Fair use

Please don't use Offhand to break the law, or try to break, copy or resell the app.

No guarantees

We work hard to keep Offhand reliable and your notes safe, but the app is provided as it is, as Apple's agreement describes. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under consumer law that can't be excluded, including the Australian Consumer Law.

Changes

We may update these terms as Offhand changes. We'll post the new version here with a new date. If a change matters, we'll mention it in the app's release notes.
