CareBrief Terms of Use
Effective 7 June 2026 (covers app version 1.0)
These terms ("Terms") govern your use of the CareBrief mobile application ("CareBrief," "Brief," "the app"). By installing or using the app, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use CareBrief.
CareBrief is published by Kiryl Zhukouski as an independent developer ("we," "our"), based in Poznań, Poland. The App Store distribution is governed in addition by Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement, which incorporates these Terms by reference.
CareBrief is a personal organizational tool that helps a caregiver log events, track medications, prepare for medical appointments, and generate a one-page summary PDF. The "after-visit translator" feature rewrites text you provide into plain language and suggests follow-up questions.
CareBrief is not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. It does not replace medical advice from a qualified healthcare professional. The app's outputs — including the generated PDF and the after-visit translator — are organizational aids for your conversation with a clinician. Always defer to your or your care recipient's healthcare provider.
Do not use CareBrief in a medical emergency. If someone is in immediate danger, call your local emergency number.
You must be at least the age of majority in your jurisdiction (18 in most US states) to use CareBrief. By using the app you represent that you have the legal authority to log information about the person you are caring for, or that you are logging information about yourself.
CareBrief offers a free tier and an optional auto-renewing subscription ("Premium").
Free tier:
- 1 care recipient profile
- 10 event logs per calendar month
- 1 PDF brief per calendar month
- 1 after-visit translation per calendar month
- All core features available without an account
Premium:
| Plan | Price (USD) | Trial |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly | $4.99 / month | None |
| Annual | $39.99 / year | 7 days free |
Premium unlocks unlimited event logs, unlimited PDF briefs, unlimited after-visit translations, voice logging (on-device speech recognition), photo attachments on event logs, read-only HealthKit vitals import, the caregiver journal, and alternate app icons.
Pricing in your local currency may differ; see the in-app paywall and the App Store for the price as charged.
Billing and renewal — Apple's required disclosure: Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. Auto-renewable subscriptions automatically renew at the same period and price unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your Apple ID account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. You can manage and cancel subscriptions, including any active free trial, in your Apple ID account settings: Settings → [Your Name] → Subscriptions, or apps.apple.com/account/subscriptions. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period.
No refunds are provided for partial periods, except where required by law. Refund requests for accidental purchases are handled by Apple via reportaproblem.apple.com.
Free trial: If you start a 7-day free trial of the Annual plan, you can cancel anytime during the trial in your Apple ID subscription settings to avoid being charged. If you do not cancel, the trial converts to a paid annual subscription at the price in effect at sign-up.
CareBrief stores your data on your device, as described in the Privacy Policy. You retain all rights to the content you create. You are responsible for backing up your device through Apple's standard iCloud Backup or Finder/iTunes backup; CareBrief's data is included in those backups but we do not maintain a separate copy.
If you delete the app, the data deletes with it. We cannot recover it.
You agree not to:
- Use the app to track another adult who has not consented to being tracked
- Reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive the source code of the app, except as allowed by law
- Submit content that violates the rights of others or any applicable law
When you use the translator:
- You confirm you have the right to enter the source text into the app (e.g., it is your care recipient's record and you are authorized to handle it).
- You acknowledge the output is generated by an AI model and may be incorrect, incomplete, or misleading. You will review every suggestion before acting on it.
- You will not use the output as a substitute for advice from a licensed healthcare professional.
- Translator output is not a clinical record and should not be entered into a medical record or shared with insurers as such.
CareBrief and its design, source code, branding, and documentation are owned by Kiryl Zhukouski and protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. These Terms grant you a personal, non-transferable, non-exclusive license to use the app on Apple-branded devices you own or control.

THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
We do not warrant that the app will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure against every threat, or compatible with every device or iOS version. We do not warrant the accuracy of any output of the after-visit translator or any other AI-assisted feature.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL WE BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUES, DATA, OR GOODWILL ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE APP.
OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE APP IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE APP IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR (B) USD $50.
Some jurisdictions do not allow exclusion of certain warranties or limitation of certain damages; in those jurisdictions our liability is limited to the smallest amount permitted by law.
You may stop using the app and uninstall it at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you materially breach these Terms; where reasonable, we will notify you first.
Sections 4, 7–11 survive termination.
These Terms are governed by the laws of Poland, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute that can't be resolved informally will be brought in the courts of Poznań, Poland — except where mandatory consumer-protection laws of your country of residence give you the right to bring proceedings in your local courts, in which case those laws apply.
We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will surface a notice in the app and update the effective date at the top of this page. Your continued use after a change constitutes acceptance.
