Terms of sale and use

Last updated 11 November 2026

These terms cover buying a Timesake licence and using the Timesake apps for Mac, iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. Please read them before you buy. By buying a licence or using the apps, you agree to them.

Who you’re dealing with

Timesake is made and sold by Daniel Burdett (known as Craig Burdett), a sole proprietor based in New York, United States, trading as Timesake. In these terms, “I”, “me” and “my” mean Daniel Burdett, and “you” means the person or business using Timesake.

My order process is conducted by my online reseller Paddle.com. Paddle.com is the Merchant of Record for all my orders. Paddle provides all customer service inquiries and handles returns. When you buy a licence, you’re buying it from Paddle, and Paddle’s buyer terms cover payment, billing, taxes and receipts. These terms cover everything else, including the licence itself and how you may use the software.

Price and payment

A Timesake licence is a single payment, shown on the pricing section of timesake.app with any sales tax or VAT added at checkout according to where you live. There are no monthly or yearly fees and nothing renews. Paddle takes payment and emails you a receipt and your licence.

Your licence

Once you’ve paid, I grant you a permanent, non-exclusive licence to use Timesake for your own work or your business’s work on up to two Macs that you own or control. The iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch apps are free and may be used on any devices of yours.

Your licence never expires and keeps working without any connection to me. It includes every update to the version you bought, so a version 1 licence covers version 1.0 and every 1.x release after it. If I release a new major version, such as version 2, you can choose to upgrade at a reduced price or keep using the version you have for as long as you like. If you bought within the six months before a new major version is released, that upgrade is free.

Please don’t share your licence key publicly, resell it, or use it on more Macs than your licence allows. You may not copy Timesake to distribute it, or remove or work around its licence check.

Beta versions

Beta versions are early builds given to testers before or alongside a release. They may contain bugs, they change often, and each one stops recording on the date shown in its About window, after which everything already recorded stays readable. Testers who earn a free licence by taking part, as described on timesake.app, receive the same licence as a buyer, with every future upgrade free.

Using Timesake responsibly

Timesake is made to record your own working time on your own devices. You may use it on a computer used by someone else only with that person’s knowledge and agreement, and you’re responsible for following any laws about monitoring that apply to you or your business.

Your data

Everything Timesake records stays on your devices and in your own iCloud account. I don’t receive it, store it or have any way to see it. The privacy policy explains this in detail. Timesake keeps daily backups on your Mac, but you remain responsible for your own backups and for checking reports before you rely on them to bill clients.

Updates

The Mac app checks timesake.app once a day for updates and installs them the next time it quits. You can check for updates yourself from its menu. The iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch apps update through the App Store. I’ll do my best to keep Timesake working with new versions of macOS, iOS and watchOS, but I can’t promise that every version will run on every future system.

Refunds

If Timesake isn’t right for you, you can have your money back within 30 days of buying it. The refund policy explains how.

If Timesake changes hands

I intend to release Timesake’s source code freely to the community when I stop maintaining it, and my executors have instructions to do the same. Whatever happens to Timesake, a licence you’ve paid for will not be turned into a subscription or taken away.

Warranty and liability

I work hard to make Timesake accurate and reliable, but it’s provided as it is, without any warranty that it will be free of errors or suit every purpose, to the extent the law allows. Time it records is an aid to your own records, not a guarantee of them.

To the extent the law allows, I’m not liable for any indirect or consequential loss, such as lost income or lost data, and my total liability to you for anything to do with Timesake is limited to the amount you paid for your licence. Nothing in these terms limits any rights you have as a consumer that can’t be limited by law, or my liability for anything that can’t be excluded by law.

Changes to these terms

I may update these terms as Timesake grows, and the date at the top will show when. Changes never take away a licence you’ve already bought or the updates it includes.

The law that applies

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, United States. If you buy as a consumer and live elsewhere, you also keep any protections the law of your own country gives you.
