1. Acceptance of Terms

By using Utter, you confirm that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms, you agree to comply with all applicable laws and regulations, and you accept these Terms in their entirety.

2. Description of Service

Utter is a privacy-focused voice-first to-do list application designed to help users create and manage to-do lists using voice or typing, track shopping lists in a dedicated Grocery mode, capture free-form thoughts on a Brain Dump canvas, focus on one task at a time in Deep Focus mode, have tasks read aloud in Drive Time mode, save and restore list snapshots, and hear tasks read back using text-to-speech.

Voice Processing

All speech recognition happens on your device using Apple's on-device Speech framework. Your voice is never sent to any server.

Data Storage

All your tasks, thoughts, and settings are stored locally on your device. No personal information is collected, stored, or accessed on any servers.

Not AI-Powered

Utter uses rule-based keyword matching to route tasks between modes. It does not use AI, large language models, or any cloud-based processing.
