Terms of Use

Last updated 26 July 2026 · Arete, an app by Octo8

By downloading or using Arete ("the app"), you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the app.

License

Arete is licensed, not sold, under Apple's Standard End User License Agreement (EULA). The terms on this page cover the Arete service in addition to it.

Octo8 grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use Arete on Apple devices you own or control, for your own personal, non-commercial use, subject to Apple's App Store Terms of Service.

Arete Pro subscriptions

• The core experience is free. Arete Pro unlocks breadth and automation and is available as an auto-renewing subscription: Weekly and Yearly. Where a free trial is offered, its length is shown in the app before you subscribe.
• Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. After any free trial, the subscription renews automatically at the then-current price unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
• You can manage or cancel your subscription any time in Settings → your name → Subscriptions on your device. Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription.
• Prices are shown in the app for your region and may change; you'll be asked to agree to any increase.
• Purchases can be restored on your devices via the app's "Restore Purchases" option.

Not medical or professional advice

Arete is an informational and motivational tool for building everyday habits. It is not a medical device and does not provide medical, health, dietary, or professional advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Nothing in the app should replace guidance from a qualified professional. Always use your own judgment and consult a professional where appropriate.

Acceptable use

Don't misuse the app: don't attempt to reverse engineer, disrupt, or circumvent its security, and don't use it unlawfully.

Content you write

Journal lines and other text you enter are yours and stay on your device (see the Privacy Policy). You are responsible for what you write.

Disclaimer & limitation of liability

The app is provided "as is," without warranties of any kind to the extent permitted by law. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Octo8 is not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the app.

We may update these terms; the current version always lives at this URL with its date. Continued use after a change means you accept it.
