Last Updated: October 19, 2026
These Terms of Service ("Terms") form a binding agreement between you and Electric Lantern LLC ("Electric Lantern," "we," "us," or "our") and govern your use of To Do Machine (the "Service"), our AI-powered to-do list application.
Please read these Terms carefully. They include a binding arbitration agreement and class action waiver (Section 16) that affects how disputes between you and us are resolved. By creating an account, starting a trial, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms.
If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service.
You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. If you are between 13 and the age of majority in your state, you may use the Service only with the consent of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to these Terms on your behalf. By using the Service, you represent that you meet these requirements.
Publishing. The Sharing Features described in Section 7A allow you to publish content that other people can see and install. If you are under 18, you may use the Sharing Features only with the consent of the parent or legal guardian who accepted these Terms on your behalf, and that parent or guardian agrees to the license grants in Sections 7 and 7B on your behalf. We may decline to make the Sharing Features available to accounts we believe belong to minors.
The Service is currently intended for users located in the United States.
To use the Service, you must register an account. You agree to:
You may not share your account, transfer it to anyone else, or create an account on behalf of someone else without authorization.
To Do Machine helps you create, organize, and manage to-do lists, and uses third-party artificial intelligence providers to generate content — including custom systems and components — based on your inputs.
Free and paid plans. The Service has a free tier and paid subscription plans. The free tier includes the app itself, without the To Do Machine chat and the other AI features, plus a small number of free AI messages. Paid plans — currently To Do Machine and To Do Machine Max — unlock the To Do Machine chat and the other AI features and provide higher usage limits. What each plan includes, and its current price, are shown in the app at the time of purchase.
Changes to the Service. We may add, change, or remove features at any time, including what is included in the free tier or in a paid plan. We will use reasonable efforts to notify you of material changes in advance.
Paid plans are currently offered with a 7-day free trial, provided as an introductory offer through the App Store. Apple determines whether you are eligible for a free trial; eligibility is generally limited to one trial per Apple Account per subscription group. Unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends, the trial converts automatically to a paid subscription and Apple charges you the applicable price.
Trial terms (length, included features, eligibility) are disclosed at the time of purchase. We may modify or discontinue free trials at any time.
Purchases through Apple. Paid subscriptions are sold as auto-renewing in-app purchases through Apple's App Store and are billed monthly to your Apple Account. Apple, not Electric Lantern, processes these payments. Your purchase is also subject to Apple's terms, including the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, which govern billing, renewal, and refunds for App Store purchases. Where those terms conflict with this Section as to a purchase made through Apple, Apple's terms control for that purchase.
Auto-Renewal. Your subscription renews automatically at the end of each billing period at the then-current price, charged through your Apple Account, until you cancel. Apple charges the renewal within 24 hours before the current period ends.
Cancellation. You can cancel at any time in your Apple Account subscription settings. Cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period to avoid being charged for the next one. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period, and you keep access to paid features until then; after that your account returns to the free tier. Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription.
Price Changes. We may change subscription prices. We will notify you of price changes at least 30 days in advance, and the new price will apply at your next renewal. Apple may also ask you to confirm a price increase before it takes effect. If you do not agree to the new price, you may cancel before it takes effect.
Failed Payments. If a payment fails or your subscription lapses, your access to paid features ends and your account returns to the free tier.
Taxes. Apple collects and remits any taxes due on App Store purchases where it is required to do so. You are responsible for any other applicable taxes.
Purchases made through Apple. Apple handles refunds for App Store purchases under Apple's refund policy. Request a refund from Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com. We cannot issue refunds for purchases Apple processed.
Except where required by law and except for refunds Apple provides, payments are non-refundable. We do not provide refunds or credits for partial subscription periods, unused features, or accounts that are terminated for violation of these Terms.
"User Content" means the to-do items, lists, notes, prompts, instructions, app configurations, themes, components (including their code), and other content you submit to, create in, or generate using the Service.
"System" means a package of app configuration, theme, and/or custom or standard components that are assembled using the Service.
"Sharing Features" means the features that let you publish a System, make it viewable at a public link, and let other users install it.
"Shared System" means a System you have published using the Sharing Features. "Sharer" means the user who published it; "Installer" means a user who installs it.
You retain ownership of your User Content. By submitting User Content, you grant Electric Lantern a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, modify, and transmit your User Content as necessary to operate and provide the Service to you — including sending it to third-party AI providers for processing.
Additional license for Shared Systems. When you publish a System using the Sharing Features, you additionally grant Electric Lantern a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, sublicensable license to use, host, store, reproduce, adapt, modify, create derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform, distribute, and promote that Shared System — including its title, description, and your chosen public display name — in any media or format now known or later developed, in connection with the Service and Electric Lantern's business. This includes reformatting the Shared System; generating previews, sample data, and preview images; stripping personal information; displaying it on publicly accessible web pages and in link previews on third-party platforms; featuring it in galleries, showcases, marketing, and promotional materials; presenting it inside the Service itself; and sublicensing these rights to Installers and to our service providers.
Unpublishing and duration. You may unpublish a Shared System at any time. Unpublishing stops new installs and removes the Shared System's public page. It does not reach copies already installed by other users — those copies keep working — and it does not require us to recall or remove copies, records, or materials already made under this license. This license survives unpublishing, termination of your subscription, and deletion of your account. See Sections 7B and 15.
You represent that you have all rights necessary to submit your User Content and that it does not violate any law or third-party right.
What publishing does. When you publish a System, you make it available at a public link that anyone can open without an account, including a preview that runs your System with sample data. You also make it installable by other users. Assume that anything you publish is public and may be copied, screenshotted, archived, or shared onward by people we do not control.
What we strip and change. Before publishing, we remove content we consider personal — including the personal context you have saved for To Do Machine's AI features (your "assistant context") — and we may reformat your System, generate sample data and preview images, and display your public display name. Your tasks and your saved component state are never included in a Shared System. We show you what is included before you publish, but you are responsible for checking that what you publish contains nothing you want to keep private.
Your public display name. You choose a display name shown as the author. It must not impersonate anyone, must not suggest affiliation with or endorsement by Electric Lantern or any other organization, and must not contain URLs, email addresses, or verification-style marks. We may reject or change a display name at any time.
No obligation. We are not obligated to publish, keep publishing, host, store, back up, or make any System available. We may decline to publish, delay publishing, limit distribution, or remove a Shared System at any time, with or without notice, for the reasons in Section 7C or for any other reason we consider appropriate. The Sharing Features are provided free of charge, and you are not entitled to any payment, revenue share, or compensation for a Shared System, including for install counts.
Not a storage or backup service. Publishing a System is not a way to store or back it up. Keep your own copy.
What a Sharer grants. When you publish a System, you grant every Installer a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual and irrevocable license to:
This license is granted on the condition that any re-published version preserves the attribution we display for the original — the original Sharer's public display name and the "remixed from" link — and that the Installer does not present the Shared System as their own original work.
Irrevocable as to installed copies. This license is perpetual and irrevocable with respect to any copy installed before you unpublish. Unpublishing prevents new installs; it does not withdraw the license from people who already installed. This is a deliberate choice: it means people who installed your System do not lose their setup if you change your mind.
What an Installer gets and does not get. The license above covers use inside the Service. It is not a license to Electric Lantern's trademarks, to the built-in components, or to the Service's own software. It does not transfer ownership. If a Shared System includes anything the Sharer did not have the right to license, the license fails for that part — see Section 7D.
Our removal rights are separate. Our right to remove, disable, or revoke a Shared System under Section 7C is a right we hold under these Terms with respect to the Service. It is separate from, and not limited by, the license in this Section. A System may be disabled in the Service even though the license between users technically continues.
Attribution. Attribution is provided through the Service's interface. You are not required to reproduce attribution outside the Service, and we may change how attribution is displayed.
The Share Content Policy. Shared Systems must comply with the Share Content Policy, available at /share-policy, which is part of these Terms. The Share Content Policy describes the categories of content that are not allowed and how we enforce it.
What we may do. If we determine, in our reasonable judgment, that a Shared System violates the Share Content Policy, these Terms, or applicable law, or that it presents a risk to users' security, privacy, or safety, we may take any of the following actions, with respect to that Shared System or to any version of it:
Disabling reaches installed copies. You acknowledge that these measures operate on copies already installed on other users' devices, and that we may transmit revocation information to the Service on every device for this purpose. Disabled Systems are shown as unavailable; we do not delete an Installer's own modifications without notice where we can avoid it.
Notice and appeal. Except where immediate action is necessary to address a security risk, a legal requirement, or content that is illegal or harmful on its face, we will notify the Sharer of the action taken and the reason for it, and give the Sharer a way to appeal. Appeals go to support@todomachine.com. We will review appeals within a reasonable time and will restore content we determine we removed in error. If you are in the European Union, see Section 20 for additional rights.
Accounts. We may also suspend or terminate a Sharer's access to the Sharing Features, or to the Service, under Section 15.
Each time you publish or re-publish a System, you represent and warrant that:
You are solely responsible for your Shared Systems. Section 14 (Indemnification) applies to them.
Reporting infringement. If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, send a notice to our designated agent at dmca@todomachine.com, as described in our DMCA Policy at /dmca. Your notice must include the elements required by 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3). Our designated agent's contact information is published in the DMCA Policy.
Counter-notification. If your content was removed and you believe the removal was a mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notification as described in the DMCA Policy.
Misrepresentation. Under 17 U.S.C. §512(f), a person who knowingly materially misrepresents that content is infringing, or that it was removed by mistake, may be liable for damages.
Repeat infringers. We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are repeat infringers. Our repeat-infringer policy is described in the DMCA Policy. We may also terminate an account for a single instance of egregious infringement.
When you use AI features of the Service, the Service may generate outputs — including custom systems or components, text, suggestions, and other content ("AI Output") — based on your inputs.
Ownership. As between you and Electric Lantern, you own the AI Output generated for your account, to the extent it is capable of being owned. Electric Lantern assigns to you whatever right, title, and interest it may have in that AI Output. You are responsible for the AI Output associated with your account, including when you publish it.
Limits on what you receive. AI Output is generated by machine learning models. Similar prompts from other users may produce similar or identical output, and identical or similar output may be generated for other users, who will own their copy of it. You therefore may not receive exclusive rights in AI Output, and some AI Output may not be protectable by copyright at all, including because it was generated without sufficient human authorship. Nothing in this Section is a representation that any AI Output is original, protectable, or non-infringing.
Our license back. You grant Electric Lantern the license in Section 7 with respect to AI Output associated with your account, on the same terms as other User Content.
Nature of AI Output. AI Output is generated by machine learning models and:
You use AI Output at your own risk. You are responsible for reviewing, testing, and validating any AI Output before relying on it in production or any consequential context.
You agree not to:
We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these rules, with or without notice.
The Service, including its software, design, branding, logos, and underlying technology, is owned by Electric Lantern and protected by intellectual property laws. Except for the licenses expressly granted in these Terms, nothing transfers any of our intellectual property rights to you.
The "To Do Machine" and "Electric Lantern" names and logos are trademarks of Electric Lantern LLC. You may not use them without our prior written permission.
The Service relies on third-party AI providers (such as Anthropic, PBC). Their availability, behavior, and outputs are outside our direct control. Outages, model changes, or limits imposed by these providers may affect the Service. We are not responsible for the acts or omissions of third-party providers, and your use of features powered by them is also subject to any restrictions those providers impose on end users.
THE SERVICE AND ALL AI OUTPUT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ACCURACY.
WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR THAT AI OUTPUT WILL BE ACCURATE, RELIABLE, OR FIT FOR YOUR PURPOSE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES, SO SOME OF THESE EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
SHARED SYSTEMS. SHARED SYSTEMS ARE CREATED BY OTHER USERS, NOT BY ELECTRIC LANTERN. WE DO NOT ENDORSE, VERIFY, OR GUARANTEE ANY SHARED SYSTEM. OUR REVIEW AND SCANNING OF SHARED SYSTEMS IS AUTOMATED, LIMITED, AND NOT A GUARANTEE OF SAFETY, QUALITY, LEGALITY, OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE. A SHARED SYSTEM THAT PASSED OUR REVIEW MAY STILL BE HARMFUL. YOU INSTALL AND RUN SHARED SYSTEMS AT YOUR OWN RISK. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY SHARED SYSTEM OR FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE ARISING FROM ONE, INCLUDING LOSS OF OR DAMAGE TO YOUR TASKS, LISTS, OR APP CONFIGURATION.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW:
THESE LIMITATIONS APPLY EVEN IF A REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS, SO SOME OF THESE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Electric Lantern, its affiliates, and their respective officers, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your use of the Service; (b) your User Content; (c) your use of AI Output; (d) your violation of these Terms or any law or third-party right; or (e) any System you publish through the Sharing Features, including any claim by an Installer or by a third party relating to it.
By You. You may stop using the Service at any time. You can cancel your subscription as described in Section 5 and delete your account in the app.
By Us. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms, if required by law, or if we discontinue the Service.
Effect. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ends. Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including ownership, the license grants in Sections 7, 7A, and 7B, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, and dispute resolution — will continue to apply.
Shared Systems after termination or account deletion. If you terminate your account, or we terminate it, your Shared Systems are unpublished, but copies already installed by other users continue to work, and the licenses in Sections 7 and 7B continue with respect to those copies. We retain the minimum information necessary to support those copies and to operate the Sharing Features — including the Shared System's contents and its share identifier — and we remove your public display name and the association between the Shared System and your account. Any restriction or revocation we applied to a Shared System remains in effect after your account is deleted.
We may delete your account data following termination, subject to the retention practices described in our Privacy Policy.
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.
Agreement to Arbitrate. You and Electric Lantern agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service (a "Dispute") will be resolved by binding individual arbitration, not in court, except as provided below.
Informal Resolution First. Before starting arbitration, you agree to first contact us at support@todomachine.com with a written description of the Dispute and give us 60 days to attempt to resolve it informally.
Arbitration Rules. Arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, available at www.adr.org. The arbitration will take place in New York County, New York, or by video conference, at your option. The arbitrator's decision will be final and binding.
Class Action Waiver. YOU AND ELECTRIC LANTERN AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. The arbitrator may not consolidate claims of more than one person or preside over any form of representative proceeding.
Exceptions. Either party may (a) bring an individual action in small claims court for disputes within that court's jurisdiction; and (b) seek injunctive or equitable relief in court to protect intellectual property rights.
30-Day Opt-Out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice to support@todomachine.com within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. The notice must include your name, account email, and a clear statement that you are opting out of arbitration. Opting out will not affect any other part of these Terms.
Severability. If the class action waiver is found unenforceable, then the entire arbitration agreement in this Section 16 will be null and void, but the rest of these Terms will remain in effect.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. For any Dispute not subject to arbitration, you and Electric Lantern agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in New York County, New York.
We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by email or through the Service at least 30 days before they take effect (unless a shorter period is required by law). Your continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree, you must stop using the Service and cancel your subscription.
Entire Agreement. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, the Share Content Policy, and the DMCA Policy, form the entire agreement between you and Electric Lantern regarding the Service.
Severability. If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full effect.
No Waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later.
Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
Notices. We may give notices to you by email, through the Service, or by posting on our website. You must send notices to us at support@todomachine.com.
Contacting us. You can reach us at support@todomachine.com about anything in these Terms. We communicate in English. You will always be able to reach a person; we do not rely only on automated tools. Authorities in the EU may contact us at the same address.
Reporting illegal content. If you are in the European Union, you may notify us of content on the Service that you consider illegal by emailing support@todomachine.com or using the report control on any share page. Please include: a sufficiently substantiated explanation of why you consider the content illegal; the exact link to it; your name and email address; and a statement that you believe in good faith that your report is accurate and complete. You do not need to give your name or email address for reports concerning child sexual abuse offences. We will confirm receipt, process reports in a timely, diligent, non-arbitrary and objective manner, and tell you our decision, whether we used automated tools to reach it, and how to challenge it.
Statement of reasons. If we restrict the visibility of, remove, disable, or revoke content you provided, or suspend or terminate your account or your access to the Sharing Features, we will give you a statement of reasons that includes:
We will provide this at the latest when the restriction takes effect, unless the law prevents us.
Challenging our decisions. You may appeal to support@todomachine.com, and a person will review it. Nothing in these Terms limits your right to bring a complaint to the Digital Services Coordinator in the Member State where you are located, or to bring proceedings before a court.
Our EU legal representative. We will publish the name and contact details of our legal representative in the European Union, designated under Article 13 of Regulation (EU) 2022/2065, in this Section once appointed.
