Terms of Service
LAST UPDATED: 2026-06-11
IN PLAIN ENGLISH
- DRFT listens for words you pick — your name, a project, a topic — and flags them when they come up in calls, meetings, or the room around you. Free and Pro tiers, on iPhone and Mac.
- You're responsible for following recording and consent laws where you live. DRFT listens to ambient audio (and on Mac, to audio from other apps). Tell participants when it's on if your jurisdiction requires it.
- Pro is $0.99/mo or $9.99/yr. The 7-day free trial applies to the yearly plan only. Apple handles all billing. Cancel anytime in Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions.
- No warranty — detection isn't perfect, AI summaries aren't perfect. Use DRFT as a helper, not a court reporter.
- The full terms below are the binding ones. This summary is here for clarity, not as a substitute.
1. Acceptance
By downloading, installing, or using DRFT (“the App”), you agree to these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you don’t agree, don’t use the App.
2. What DRFT does
DRFT is a wake-word listener for iPhone and Mac. You pick the words that matter — your name, a project code, a topic — and DRFT alerts you when those words come up in calls, meetings, or conversations happening around you. AI-generated summaries are a Pro feature.
On iPhone, DRFT uses the device microphone to hear what is audible in the room — designed for speakerphone calls and in-person conversations, not a direct tap into the call line. On Mac, DRFT uses Core Audio process taps to capture the audio output of other applications on your system (Zoom, Teams, Meet, etc.) — no microphone is involved. On both platforms, speech recognition runs on-device. Audio is processed in real time and discarded immediately — never recorded, stored, or transmitted.
3. Free and Pro tiers
DRFT offers 2 service tiers:
- Free tier — Up to 10 saved moments; 2 default wake words + 1 custom wake word; push notifications (same device); iPhone and Mac support. DRFT is ad-free on every platform and tier.
- Pro tier — Up to 50 saved moments; 2 default wake words + up to 3 custom wake words (per profile); up to 3 wake-word profiles; AI summaries; Mac → iPhone detection relay; iCloud sync across your devices. Pricing: $0.99/month or $9.99/year. The 7-day free trial applies to the yearly plan only.
Founders pricing. Current subscription prices are intentionally early-adopter rates. When prices increase, your existing subscription continues at the rate in effect when you subscribed, for as long as it remains active without interruption.
Feature availability and limits may change. We will communicate material changes through the App or this page.
4. Subscriptions and billing
Pro is available as an auto-renewing subscription processed entirely by Apple via the App Store. Prices are $0.99/month or $9.99/year. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. The subscription auto-renews unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period.
Free trial. A 7-day free trial is available on the yearly plan only. No trial is offered on the monthly plan. If you start a trial and purchase a subscription before the trial ends, the trial period ends immediately and billing begins.
Managing your subscription. Manage or cancel at any time in Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions on your device.
Refunds. All refund requests are handled by Apple. DRFT cannot issue refunds. To request a refund, visit reportaproblem.apple.com.
All purchases are subject to Apple's Standard End User License Agreement.
5. Recording consent & ambient audio — your responsibility
DRFT does not record calls in the traditional sense — it processes audio in real time solely for wake-word detection, and no audio is saved at any point. However, because DRFT listens to ambient audio (iPhone) and to the audio output of conferencing apps (Mac), those streams may include conversation content, which means monitoring and consent laws may apply.
On Mac specifically, Core Audio process taps can capture the audio output of apps including video-conferencing tools. That audio may include the voices of remote participants on a call. DRFT processes this audio transiently on-device and does not record or store it, but you should be aware that the audio is being processed for wake-word detection.
You are solely responsible for complying with all applicable federal, state, and local laws regarding audio monitoring and recording consent. This includes:
- Informing meeting participants when DRFT is active, if required by local law.
- Understanding the difference between one-party and all-party consent jurisdictions.
- Ensuring your use of DRFT complies with workplace policies and applicable regulations.
DRFT provides tools — it does not provide legal advice.
6. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Use DRFT to monitor conversations without required consent.
- Use the App for surveillance, harassment, or any unlawful purpose.
- Attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or tamper with the App.
- Redistribute, sublicense, or resell access to the App.
7. Intellectual property
DRFT, its design, code, branding, and related materials are owned by Bryan Cabrera. You retain ownership of any content generated through your use of the App (wake words, detection moments, summaries).
8. Third-party services
DRFT integrates with the following third-party services. Your use of DRFT is also subject to their respective terms:
- OpenAI API — Transcript text (≤250 words) is sent when you use a cloud AI summary. Governed by OpenAI's API data usage policies.
- Cloudflare Workers — DRFT proxy for AI summary requests and push relay. Does not log or store transcript content in normal operation.
- Apple APNs — All push notifications route through APNs via our relay. Detection payloads contain only identifiers — no transcript or summary content.
- Apple iCloud (CloudKit & Key-Value Storage) — Pro iCloud sync stores moments and wake words in your private CloudKit container. Your name is stored in iCloud Key-Value Storage for feedback personalization (all tiers).
- Apple StoreKit — All subscription and purchase processing. DRFT never handles your payment instrument.
- Vercel / Vercel Analytics — Promo site (drft.ing) hosting and anonymized page-view analytics.
We are not responsible for the practices or availability of third-party services.
9. Disclaimer of warranties
DRFT is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. We do not guarantee that wake word detection will be 100% accurate, that AI summaries will be error-free, or that the App will operate without interruption.
10. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Bryan Cabrera shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of DRFT, including but not limited to missed detections, inaccurate summaries, or legal consequences of unauthorized recording.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation of liability for incidental or consequential damages. In those jurisdictions, this limitation applies only to the extent permitted by law. Nothing in these Terms limits any rights you may have under applicable consumer protection laws that cannot be waived by contract.
11. Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to DRFT if you violate these Terms. You may stop using the App at any time. Upon termination, your right to use the App ceases, but provisions regarding liability, intellectual property, and dispute resolution survive.
12. Changes to these terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. The “Last Updated” date at the top reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be communicated through the App or this page at least 30 days before taking effect. Continued use of DRFT after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
13. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, United States, without regard to conflict of law principles. Consumers in the EU, UK, and other jurisdictions retain any statutory rights granted by their local law that cannot be waived by contract.
