These Terms govern your use of all Basic Apps applications (collectively, the "Apps"), including:
Basic Checkbook
A personal finance register for tracking accounts, transactions, and checkbook balancing. Intended for personal, non-commercial use only.

Important: Ink is a personal notes tool. It is not a regulated record-keeping system, legal archive, medical chart, or audit-trail platform. AI-structured notes may contain errors, omissions, or inaccuracies. Always review AI output before relying on it for any consequential decision. Do not store financial account credentials, full health records, or other sensitive identifiers in Ink.
Basic Intake
A supplement tracking application with AI-powered suggestions, reminders, and caregiver mode. Intended for personal, non-commercial use only.

5. AI Features (Basic Intake & Ink)
Basic Intake and Ink both include AI-powered features powered by Anthropic's Claude API. By using these features, you acknowledge and agree to the following:

5a. Voice Dictation (Ink)

- Audio captured by the microphone is processed on your device. We do not record, retain, or transmit audio.
- The resulting transcript may optionally be sent to Anthropic's Claude API to be structured into notes, only when you invoke that feature.
- Speech recognition accuracy varies with accent, ambient noise, and microphone quality. We do not warrant a particular accuracy level.
