Terms of use

Last updated: March 2026

Acceptance

By using Quipd, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the app.

The service

Quipd is a daily creative writing app. Each day, a word appears. You may write a six-word response using that word. Responses are visible to all users. The most-hearted response influences the next day's word through an automated algorithm that selects an interesting word from that response.

Age requirements

Quipd is rated 12+ on the App Store. By using the app, you confirm that you are at least 12 years old. If you are under 18, you should review these terms with a parent or guardian. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13 in compliance with COPPA.

Your content

You retain ownership of the six-word responses you submit. By submitting a response, you grant Quipd a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to:

This licence is needed for the app to function. Non-winning responses are automatically deleted after 48 hours.

Content guidelines

You agree not to submit responses that contain:

Quipd uses an automated profanity filter that may block submissions containing inappropriate language. If your response is blocked, you will be notified and can revise it. The filter checks for common profanity, slurs, and attempts to bypass filtering using character substitutions.

Reporting and moderation

Users may report responses they believe violate these guidelines. Responses that receive three or more reports are automatically hidden from view. We review hidden content and may permanently remove it or restore it based on our assessment. You will not be notified if your response is reported or hidden.

You may also block other users. Blocking prevents you from seeing their responses. Blocks are one-way and the other user will not be notified.

Enforcement

Violations of these terms may result in content removal or device restrictions:

Severe violations (threats, illegal content) may result in immediate permanent blocking. If you believe your device was blocked in error, contact support@quipd.app to appeal. Appeals are reviewed within 7 days.

Data and infrastructure

Quipd stores data using Apple CloudKit, a cloud database service provided by Apple Inc. Your responses and anonymous device token are stored in CloudKit's public database. Data may be stored in data centres located in the United States or other regions where Apple operates infrastructure. Apple's security standards and privacy practices apply to all stored data. See Apple's Privacy Policy for details.

Availability and termination

We aim to keep Quipd available at all times, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted service. The daily word may occasionally be delayed.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of the service. If we permanently discontinue the service, we will provide at least 30 days notice via the app or email (if you have contacted support). Quipd+ purchases are non-refundable upon service discontinuation, but we will make reasonable efforts to provide advance notice.

Limitation of liability

Quipd is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We are not liable for any damages arising from your use of the app, including but not limited to loss of data, loss of revenue, or any indirect or consequential damages. Our total liability is limited to the amount you paid for Quipd+ or tips, if any.

Changes

We may update these terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated via the app at least 14 days before taking effect. Continued use of Quipd after changes constitutes acceptance. The current version is always available at quipd.app/terms.
