Terms of Use

These terms govern your use of Smidge on iOS and Android and its related services.

Effective: November 8, 2026

Acceptance and eligibility

By using Smidge, you agree to these Terms and the Privacy Policy. You must be at least 13 years old and legally able to agree to these Terms. If local law requires parental consent at an older age, you must have that consent.

General wellness only

Smidge is not a medical device or healthcare provider. Calories, nutrients, goals, and AI-generated results are estimates for general wellness and may be incomplete or wrong. Smidge does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Consult a qualified professional before making health decisions, especially if you have a medical condition, are pregnant, have an eating disorder, or take medication. Do not use Smidge for emergencies.

Your account

Smidge may create a guest account automatically. You are responsible for activity under your account and for keeping access to your device and sign-in providers secure. Provide accurate information and update it when appropriate. You may delete your account in the app.

Smidge backs up your log to your account as you use it, so it can be restored when you reinstall the app, change phones, or sign in again. A guest account cannot be signed into on another device, so to restore your log elsewhere, sign in with Google (or Sign in with Apple on iOS) first. Photos are not backed up.

Your content

You retain ownership of meal descriptions, photos, feedback, and other content you submit. You give Smidge a limited, worldwide license to host, copy, process, and transmit that content only as needed to provide, secure, support, and improve the service. You must have the right to submit the content and must not upload unlawful, harmful, or infringing material.

Acceptable use

Do not misuse Smidge, interfere with the service, attempt unauthorized access, evade usage limits, reverse engineer protected parts of the service except where law permits, use automated means that burden the service, or use Smidge to violate law or another person’s rights.

Third-party services

Smidge relies on third-party services for authentication, AI processing, food data, device features, and infrastructure. Those services may be unavailable or change, and their own terms may apply. Food database and AI responses are not guaranteed to be accurate.

Health data and permissions

Smidge can read and write your weight through Apple Health on iOS and Health Connect on Android. This is optional and requires your permission. On Android, you can import past weigh-ins and Smidge writes the weigh-ins you log. Health, camera, photo, microphone, notification, and speech features are likewise optional and require your permission. You can revoke access in iOS Settings, or on Android in Android Settings → Apps → Smidge and in the Health Connect app. Our handling of health data is described in the Privacy Policy. You are responsible for reviewing entries before relying on or sharing them.

Free use and Smidge Premium

Smidge is free to download. A free account includes a limited number of AI food logs, so you can try logging by photo, voice, text, and barcode. On iOS, once they’re used up, logging new food, including entering it manually, requires Smidge Premium. The Android app doesn’t offer Premium yet, so there you can keep logging food by entering it manually after the free AI logs are used. Without Premium you can still view your food history, goals, and progress, remove entries, log your weight, and delete your account.

Smidge Premium includes AI food logging by photo, voice, text, and barcode; a health score and tip for your meals; and logging new food manually. On iOS, it is an auto-renewing subscription, billed monthly or yearly. The price, billing period, and any free trial are shown in the app and on Apple’s purchase sheet before you confirm. The Android app doesn’t currently offer purchases.

Billing, renewal, and cancellation (iOS)

These terms apply to purchases made in the iOS app through Apple.

Purchases are made through Apple and charged to your Apple ID when you confirm, or when a free trial ends. They are also subject to Apple’s payment, refund, and subscription rules.
A subscription renews automatically for the same period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Your Apple ID is charged for the renewal within the 24 hours before the current period ends.
If you start a free trial, you are charged the subscription price when the trial ends unless you cancel at least 24 hours before then. Each Apple ID can use an introductory free trial once. Any unused part of a trial ends when you buy a subscription.
You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time in your App Store account settings, or from Settings → Manage Subscription in Smidge. After you cancel, Premium stays active until the end of the period you have paid for.
Deleting Smidge or your Smidge account does not cancel an App Store subscription.
Refunds are handled by Apple under its own policies. You can ask for one at reportaproblem.apple.com.
If the price changes, Apple tells you before it applies and, where required, asks for your consent before renewing at the new price.
A subscription belongs to the Apple ID that bought it. Restore Purchases attaches it to the Smidge account you are using. We may limit how often a subscription can move between Smidge accounts.

Fair use

Premium is for your own personal food logging. Every AI request costs money to run, so Premium has fair-use limits. We set them so that normal personal use should not reach them; they are there to stop automated or abusive use. If an account reaches a limit, AI logging pauses for a while and then resumes on its own. You can still log food manually, and your subscription and history are not affected. We do not publish the exact limits, and we may change them to keep Smidge reliable.

Availability and changes

We may update, add, remove, suspend, or discontinue features, and we do not guarantee uninterrupted availability. We may impose reasonable limits to protect users and infrastructure. We may suspend access for misuse, security risk, legal requirements, or violation of these Terms.

Disclaimers and limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Smidge is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of accuracy, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or uninterrupted operation. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Smidge’s operator will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for loss of data, profits, goodwill, or health outcomes arising from use of the service. Nothing in these Terms limits rights or liability that cannot legally be limited.

Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. The current version and effective date will remain posted here. Continuing to use Smidge after an update means you accept the revised Terms where permitted by law.
