Terms of Service
Last updated: June 23, 2026
By using Brief (the "Service"), you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the Service. Contact: [email protected].
The Service
Brief is a Mac and iPhone app that reads your iMessages on your Mac to surface action items and generate a daily brief. You're responsible for the device permissions you grant (such as Full Disk Access) and for the content of your own messages.
Your account
You sign in with your email via a one-time link. You're responsible for keeping access to your email account secure. You must be at least 13 years old to use Brief.
Acceptable use
- Use Brief only with messages and accounts you own or are authorized to access.
- Don't attempt to disrupt, reverse-engineer, or abuse the Service or its providers.
- Don't use Brief for anything unlawful.
Subscriptions, billing & cancellation
- Brief offers a free tier (up to 100 actioned items per month and the basic daily brief) and a Premium subscription at $6.99/month or $59.99/year.
- Subscriptions are sold through the Apple App Store and billed to your Apple ID. They renew automatically at the end of each period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before renewal.
- You can manage or cancel anytime in Settings → your Apple ID → Subscriptions on your device. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.
- Refunds are handled by Apple under the App Store terms; we don't process payments directly.
- Premium's live brief requires your own AI provider key; you are responsible for any usage charges your provider bills you.
Third-party services
Brief relies on third parties (Apple, Supabase, weather/news/sports/finance sources, and any AI provider you connect). Your use of those is subject to their terms, and we're not responsible for their availability or content.
Disclaimer & limitation of liability
The Service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. Brief surfaces and summarizes content automatically and may miss items or make mistakes — don't rely on it as your sole record for anything critical. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect or consequential damages, and our total liability is limited to the amount you paid us in the prior 12 months.
Termination
You can stop using Brief and delete your account at any time (email us). We may suspend or terminate access for violations of these terms.
Changes
We may update these terms; we'll update the date above and, for material changes, notify you.
