Effective date: 27.10.2026

These terms apply when you use the Kodama app ("Kodama", "we", "us"), an independent app made by one developer. By downloading or using Kodama, you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use the app.

Kodama is distributed through Apple's App Store, so Apple's Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies. If something here conflicts with Apple's agreement, Apple's agreement wins. How we handle your information is explained in our Privacy Policy.

Using Kodama and your journal

• Personal use. Kodama is free to use for your own personal, non-commercial diary.
• Your notes are yours. Everything you write belongs to you. We don't claim any rights to it, and it stays on your device.
• Keep your own backup. Because your journal lives on your iPhone, deleting the app, losing the phone or using "Delete all entries" can erase it for good. Turn on iCloud backup or use "Export all entries" if you want a copy. We can't recover lost entries, since we never have them.
• Your device, your responsibility. Keep your iPhone and Face ID or passcode secure; anyone who can unlock the app can read your journal.

Drawings and "Draw something new"

Kodama's built-in drawings were hand-drawn or created with Recraft, an AI image service. When you use "Draw something new", the word you type is sent to Recraft to create a new pencil-style drawing (see the Privacy Policy).

• AI drawings aren't perfect. A generated drawing may not match your word exactly, may look different from the rest of the set, or may occasionally be unusable. Just try again or pick another one.
• Use it kindly. Don't use "Draw something new" to request anything illegal, hateful, sexual, violent or harmful, anything that imitates a real person, brand, logo or copyrighted character, or to overload or misuse our server. We may block words or limit the feature to keep it working for everyone.
• What you can do with drawings. You may use Kodama's drawings, including ones you generate, inside the app and in posters you create and share for personal, non-commercial use. You may not sell them, extract them to build another icon set or app, or present them as your own artwork.
• The feature may change. "Draw something new" depends on outside services. We may limit, pause or remove it at any time; the rest of the app keeps working offline.

Our app and content

• The Kodama app, its name, logo, design and drawing library belong to us. These terms give you a personal, non-transferable right to use the app; they don't transfer ownership.
• Please don't copy, modify, reverse-engineer or resell the app or its content, except where the law allows it.
• We may update Kodama, add or remove features, or stop offering it. We'll try to give notice of big changes in the app's "What's New" notes. Because your journal is stored on your device, it stays with you even if a feature changes.
• You can stop using Kodama at any time by deleting it. We may stop access to online features ("Draw something new") for anyone who misuses them.
