Terms of Service

Last updated:

1. Agreement to Terms

By creating an account, installing, or using the Workas software or services (collectively, “Workas”, “we”, “us” or “the Service”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. About the Service

Workas is a productivity tracking application designed to help users understand and improve how they spend time on their computers. Core functionality includes tracking active windows, measuring active vs idle seconds, grouping activities into categories, generating reports, and optionally syncing logs to remote servers for analysis.

3. User Consent & Transparency

Workas only collects activity data with the user’s express consent. You must obtain any necessary consents from device owners or accounts you monitor. If you install Workas on a device you do not own or on behalf of another person, you represent and warrant you have all required rights and consents to do so.

4. Account & Registration

Some features may require registration (email). You are responsible for providing accurate information and keeping account credentials secure. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.

5. Data Collection, Storage & Privacy

Local-first: By default, Workas stores activity logs locally (SQLite) on the device.

Optional Sync / Cloud: If you enable cloud syncing or remote analytics, logs and metadata may be uploaded to our servers or third-party services.

What we collect: app name, window title, start/end times, total/active/idle seconds, process path, device metadata, and optionally categories, project tags, and usage metadata. We do notcollect keystrokes, full screen content, or personal files unless you explicitly enable a feature that requires it.

Security: We use reasonable organizational and technical measures to protect user data. However, no system is perfectly secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. User Responsibilities & Acceptable Use

You must not use Workas to collect data in ways that violate privacy laws or third-party rights. You may not reverse-engineer or tamper with the Service or use it to collect unauthorized information. You agree not to use Workas to monitor individuals without their informed consent.

7. Third-Party Services & Integrations

Workas may integrate with third-party services (e.g., email providers, calendars, Slack, billing). Your use of such integrations is subject to the third party’s terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for third-party practices.

8. Billing & Paid Features

If Workas introduces paid features, separate terms regarding billing, refunds, trial periods, and subscription cancellation will apply. You are responsible for payment information and any applicable taxes.

9. Intellectual Property

Workas and its content (code, designs, documentation) are owned by Workas (or its licensors). You are granted a limited, non-exclusive license to use the Service as provided. You may not claim ownership of Workas intellectual property.

10. Limitation of Liability & Warranty Disclaimer

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the extent permitted by law, Workas disclaims all warranties, whether express or implied. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including lost profits or data loss, arising from use of Workas. Our total liability for claims relating to the Service, whether in contract, tort, or otherwise, shall not exceed the amount you actually paid for Workas in the prior twelve (12) months, or $100 if you paid nothing.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold Workas harmless from claims, losses, damages, liabilities, and expenses arising from (a) your breach of these Terms, (b) your misuse of the Service, or (c) your failure to obtain necessary consents.

12. Termination

We may suspend or terminate access to the Service if you violate these Terms or for operational reasons. You may uninstall the software at any time. Termination does not relieve you of obligations incurred prior to termination.

13. Export Controls & Compliance

You will use Workas in compliance with applicable export laws and will not permit prohibited uses.

14. Changes to the Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will post the revised version with the “Last updated” date. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.

15. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the law of the jurisdiction where Workas is registered or operates — please consult local guidance or contact us for clarification. Any disputes should first be addressed informally; unresolved disputes may be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of local courts.
