These Terms of Use ("Terms") are a legal agreement between you and GritWerk ("GritWerk," "we," "us") covering your use of ShiftNote. By downloading, installing, or using ShiftNote, you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the app.
1.The App
ShiftNote is a shift-tracking app for hourly workers. It lets you log when you clock in and out, set your hourly rate, add notes, and see your estimated earnings. ShiftNote runs entirely on your device — there's no account to create and no server involved. For details on how your data is handled, see our Privacy Policy.
2.Free & Pro Plans
ShiftNote Free — free to download and use, with basic shift tracking so you can try the app before upgrading.
ShiftNote Pro — an optional paid upgrade that unlocks unlimited shift tracking, CSV export, and summary reports, billed as an auto-renewing monthly subscription. Full subscription terms are in Section 3.
3.ShiftNote Pro Subscription
Price: $1.99 USD per month. Your store may display this in your local currency, and the exact price is confirmed before you complete a purchase.
Billing: Payment is charged to your Apple ID (App Store) or Google Play account at confirmation of purchase.
Auto-renewal: Your subscription automatically renews for the same price and one-month duration unless you turn off auto-renewal at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period.
How to cancel: Manage or cancel your subscription anytime from your Apple ID Account Settings (iOS/macOS: Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions) or your Google Play Account Settings (Android). Deleting the ShiftNote app does not cancel your subscription — you must cancel through your App Store or Play Store account, or you'll continue to be billed.
Refunds: All payments are processed by Apple or Google. Refund requests are handled by Apple or Google under their own refund policies — GritWerk does not process payments and cannot issue refunds directly.
Price changes: If we change the price of ShiftNote Pro, we'll give advance notice as required by Apple and Google before any change applies to your next renewal.
4.Your License to Use ShiftNote
We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use ShiftNote on devices you own or control, for your own personal use, in accordance with these Terms. You may not copy, modify, reverse-engineer, decompile, redistribute, or create derivative works from ShiftNote, or use it for any unlawful purpose.
5.Your Responsibilities & What ShiftNote Is Not
ShiftNote is a personal tracking tool — not an official timekeeping, payroll, or HR system.
It is not connected to your employer's records or payroll system in any way. You are responsible for making sure the information you enter is accurate and for confirming your actual pay against your employer's records or pay stubs. GritWerk is not responsible for any difference between ShiftNote's estimates and your actual pay, or for any workplace dispute related to your use of the app.
6.Ownership
GritWerk owns ShiftNote, including its design, code, and branding. You own the shift data you enter into the app — it's stored on your device, and it's yours. Exporting your data (Section 3 of the Privacy Policy) doesn't change that.
7.Disclaimer of Warranties
ShiftNote is provided "as is" and "as available."
We don't offer any warranties, express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We don't guarantee ShiftNote will be error-free, uninterrupted, or that any calculation (including earnings estimates) will always be accurate.
8.Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, GritWerk is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages,
or any loss of data, income, or profits, arising from your use of or inability to use ShiftNote. Our total liability for any claim relating to ShiftNote will not exceed the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim arose, or $10 if you've only used the free plan.
9.App Store & Google Play Terms
Apple App Store. If you downloaded ShiftNote from the Apple App Store, the following additional terms apply and take precedence over any conflicting term above:
This agreement is between you and GritWerk only — not Apple. Apple is not responsible for ShiftNote or its content.
Your license to use ShiftNote is limited to a non-transferable license to use it on Apple-branded devices that you own or control, as permitted by the App Store's usage rules.
GritWerk, not Apple, is solely responsible for providing any maintenance and support for ShiftNote.
If ShiftNote fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price to you, if any. Apple has no other warranty obligation relating to ShiftNote, and any other claims, losses, or damages related to a warranty failure are GritWerk's responsibility, not Apple's.
GritWerk, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims relating to ShiftNote, including product liability claims, claims that ShiftNote fails to meet a legal or regulatory requirement, and claims under consumer protection law.
If a third party claims ShiftNote infringes their intellectual property rights, GritWerk — not Apple — is solely responsible for investigating, defending, and resolving that claim.
You must comply with any applicable third-party agreement terms when using ShiftNote (for example, your wireless data service agreement).
Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and once you accept them, Apple has the right to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.
Google Play. If ShiftNote becomes available on Google Play in your region, purchases made there are processed through Google Play Billing, subject to the Google Play Terms of Service, in addition to these Terms.
10.Termination
We may suspend or discontinue ShiftNote at any time. You can stop using ShiftNote and delete it from your device whenever you like. Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination — including Ownership, Disclaimer of Warranties, Limitation of Liability, and Governing Law — will survive.
11.Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we'll update the effective date at the top of this page and, where required, notify you in the app. Continuing to use ShiftNote after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.
12.Governing Law & Contact
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising from these Terms will be handled in the state or federal courts located in Illinois, and you consent to that jurisdiction.
