Ekde is a personal life logging and activity tracking application. It allows you to track episodes across user-defined periods, record notes and rich text entries, and generate personal analytics, time series charts, and summary statistics to better understand how you spend your time.
Ekde is an informational and personal productivity logging tool only.
The App does not provide medical, psychological, psychiatric, or clinical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Any patterns, summaries, statistics, or charts provided within the App are for self-reflection and personal tracking purposes only.
The App is not a substitute for professional healthcare, psychiatric evaluation, or medical advice. If you have concerns about your mental or physical health, or if you are experiencing a medical or mental health emergency, please immediately consult a physician, qualified healthcare professional, or contact local emergency services.
Your data belongs to you and remains on your device.
All your entered periods, episodes, notes, and custom statistics are stored locally on your device in a local database (SQLite). We do not host user accounts, and your personal diary or tracking entries are not transmitted to or stored on our servers.
Because your data is stored exclusively on your device, you are solely responsible for maintaining regular backups of your data. The App provides backup and export options (such as CSV export and backup files). If your device is lost, stolen, replaced, damaged, factory-reset, or if the App is uninstalled without a prior backup, your data may be permanently unrecoverable. We assume no liability for any loss, corruption, or inability to recover local data.
Ekde may offer optional digital in-app purchases, including:
All in-app purchases are billed and processed directly through the Google Play Store (for Android) or the Apple App Store (for iOS), using the payment method associated with your store account.
Pricing, billing, taxes, currency conversion, and receipt issuance are handled directly by Google LLC or Apple Inc. in accordance with their respective terms of service (such as the Google Play Terms of Service).
Refund requests are subject to the policies of Google Play or the Apple App Store. For Android purchases, you can request a refund directly via Google Play Support under Google Play's standard refund policies.
The free version of Ekde displays third-party advertisements served via Google AdMob. Advertisements may use non-sensitive device identifiers as described in our Privacy Policy. Advertisements can be permanently removed by purchasing the optional "Remove Ads" in-app purchase.
All rights, title, and interest in and to the App — including but not limited to the source code, design, software, graphics, icons, trademarks, and branding — are and remain the exclusive property of Dr. Bernhard Piskernik.
We grant you a personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and royalty-free license to download, install, and use Ekde on your mobile device strictly for personal, non-commercial purposes in compliance with these Terms.
You agree not to:
The App is provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim all warranties, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, quiet enjoyment, accuracy, reliability, and non-infringement. We do not guarantee that the App will meet your specific requirements, operate uninterrupted, or be completely error-free.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law (including Austrian and EU consumer protection regulations):
Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes liability for intent (Vorsatz), gross negligence (grobe Fahrlässigkeit), personal injury, or any statutory consumer rights that cannot be waived or restricted by contract under applicable law.
You may terminate your agreement with these Terms at any time simply by deleting and discontinuing all use of the App.
We reserve the right to modify, update, enhance, or discontinue the App or any part thereof at any time. When updates are published on the Google Play Store, your continued use of the App will constitute acceptance of any updated functionality.
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Austria, excluding its conflict of laws rules and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG).
If you are a consumer residing in the European Union, this choice of law does not deprive you of the protection afforded by mandatory provisions of the law of your country of habitual residence. Consumers within the EU may also submit disputes to the European Commission's Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) platform at https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.
We may update or revise these Terms from time to time. Any changes will be posted directly to this page with an updated "Last Edited" date. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of the App after the posting of changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.
