Terms of Use

Dreamtime — by Plutonian LLC

Last updated: March 27, 2026

1. Agreement

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of Dreamtime (the "App"), developed and published by Plutonian LLC ("Plutonian LLC," "we," "us," or "our"), a California limited liability company. By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

If you are using the App on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

2. Description of the App

Dreamtime is an iOS application designed to capture and transcribe spoken dreams during sleep. The App listens for voice activity overnight, records audio segments, and transcribes them using on-device speech recognition. All processing occurs locally on your device. Dreamtime is a capture and archival tool — it does not interpret, analyze, or provide meaning for your dreams.

3. Eligibility

Dreamtime is available to users of all ages. The App's age rating is determined by Apple and displayed on the App Store. If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, your parent or legal guardian is responsible for your use of the App. By using the App, you represent that you have the legal capacity to agree to these Terms, or that a parent or legal guardian has agreed on your behalf.

4. License

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, Plutonian LLC grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download and use the App on Apple devices that you own or control, for your personal, non-commercial use. This license does not include the right to modify, distribute, sell, lease, reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App or any part of it, except to the extent that such restriction is prohibited by applicable law.

5. Subscriptions and payment

5.1 Plans and pricing

Dreamtime offers a subscription service with a monthly plan and an annual plan. Current pricing is displayed in the App and on the App Store product page. All prices are in the currency determined by the App Store for your region.

5.2 Free trial

New subscribers receive a free trial period as described in the App. During the trial, you have access to all features. If you do not cancel before the trial ends, your subscription will automatically convert to a paid subscription and you will be charged.

5.3 Billing

All payments are processed by Apple through the App Store. Plutonian LLC does not process payments directly and does not have access to your payment information. Subscriptions automatically renew unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period. You can manage and cancel your subscription in your Apple ID account settings.

5.4 Refunds

Refund requests are handled by Apple in accordance with Apple's refund policies. To request a refund, visit reportaproblem.apple.com. Plutonian LLC cannot issue refunds directly, as all payment processing is managed by Apple.

5.5 What happens when a subscription expires

If your subscription expires or is cancelled, you retain full access to all existing dreams, audio recordings, transcripts, search, playback, and export. The only feature that requires an active subscription is new recording. Your data is never locked, deleted, or held hostage.

6. Your data and your responsibility

6.1 Ownership

You own your data. All audio recordings, transcripts, and other content you create using Dreamtime belong to you. Plutonian LLC claims no ownership, license, or rights over your content.

6.2 On-device storage

Your data is stored locally on your device. If you enable iCloud sync, your data is also stored in your personal iCloud account. In both cases, you are responsible for maintaining backups and managing your storage.

6.3 Data loss

Dreamtime is designed to be reliable, but no software is perfect. Recordings may fail or be incomplete due to factors including, but not limited to:

Device running out of battery or storage during a recording session.
iOS terminating background processes.
Device restarts, crashes, or software updates during recording.
Microphone hardware issues or obstructions.
User error, such as accidentally stopping a session or revoking microphone access.
Bugs in the App.

Plutonian LLC does not guarantee that every recording session will succeed or that audio will be captured without interruption or loss. We work continuously to make the recording pipeline as resilient as possible, but you acknowledge that occasional data loss is an inherent risk of overnight background recording on a mobile device.

We strongly recommend enabling iCloud sync and maintaining regular device backups to reduce the risk of data loss.

6.4 Export

You may export your dreams at any time as Markdown, plain text, or audio files. Exported data is yours to use however you choose. Plutonian LLC is not responsible for the handling of your data once it leaves the App.

7. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

Use the App for any unlawful purpose, including recording conversations without the consent of all parties where required by applicable law.
Reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App, except to the extent permitted by applicable law.
Attempt to circumvent subscription restrictions or any technical measures in the App.
Redistribute, sublicense, or make the App available to third parties.
Use the App in any manner that could damage, disable, or impair the App or Apple's services.

7.1 Recording laws

Many jurisdictions have laws governing the recording of conversations. Dreamtime records audio from the device's microphone and may capture voices other than your own. You are solely responsible for complying with all applicable recording and wiretapping laws in your jurisdiction. Plutonian LLC does not provide legal advice and makes no representation about the legality of recording in your location or circumstances.

8. Important health and wellness notice

8.1 Not a medical or therapeutic tool

Dreamtime is a recording and transcription utility. It is not a medical device, therapeutic tool, diagnostic instrument, or substitute for professional mental health care. The App does not interpret dreams, provide psychological analysis, or offer any form of treatment or counseling.

8.2 Dream work and psychological well-being

Engaging with dream content can be a meaningful practice, but it can also surface emotionally challenging material. In rare cases, intensive focus on dreams may contribute to confusion between dream experiences and waking life, or may be distressing for individuals with certain psychological conditions.

If you experience persistent distress, confusion, disorientation, or difficulty distinguishing dreams from waking reality, please discontinue use of the App and consult a qualified mental health professional.

Plutonian LLC is not responsible for any psychological, emotional, or physical effects that may arise from your engagement with your dream content. Use of the App for dream work or psychological exploration is entirely at your own discretion and risk.

8.3 Not a sleep monitoring tool

Dreamtime does not monitor your sleep patterns, sleep quality, or health metrics. It does not collect or provide health data of any kind.

9. Intellectual property

The App, including its design, code, trademarks, logos, and documentation, is owned by Plutonian LLC and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. Your license to use the App does not transfer any ownership rights to you.

Certain open-source components are used in the App and are disclosed under Settings → Legal → Licenses. Those components are subject to their respective open-source licenses.

All other trademarks, service marks, and trade names referenced in the App or these Terms are the property of their respective owners.

10. Disclaimer of warranties

THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, PLUTONIAN LLC DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

PLUTONIAN LLC DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR COMPLETELY SECURE, THAT RECORDINGS WILL BE CAPTURED WITHOUT LOSS OR CORRUPTION, THAT TRANSCRIPTIONS WILL BE ACCURATE, OR THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED.

11. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL PLUTONIAN LLC, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, MEMBERS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF RECORDINGS, LOSS OF PROFITS, OR EMOTIONAL DISTRESS, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE APP, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY (CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE), EVEN IF PLUTONIAN LLC HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

PLUTONIAN LLC'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE APP SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU ACTUALLY PAID FOR THE APP IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS (US $100), WHICHEVER IS GREATER.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES. IN SUCH JURISDICTIONS, PLUTONIAN LLC'S LIABILITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Plutonian LLC and its officers, directors, members, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your use of the App; (b) your violation of these Terms; (c) your violation of any applicable law, including recording or wiretapping laws; or (d) your content or data as exported from the App.

13. Apple-specific terms

These Terms are between you and Plutonian LLC only, and not with Apple. Apple is not responsible for the App or its content. Plutonian LLC, not Apple, is responsible for the App and any claims relating to it, including product liability, legal compliance, and intellectual property matters. In the event of any failure of the App to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple's sole obligation will be to refund the purchase price of the App, if any. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and, upon your acceptance, may enforce these Terms against you.

You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not on any U.S. Government prohibited or restricted parties list.

14. Termination

You may stop using the App at any time by deleting it from your device. We may terminate or suspend your access to the App if you violate these Terms, subject to applicable law. Upon termination, your license to use the App ends, but your data remains on your device and in your iCloud account — we have no ability to delete it.

Sections 6.1 (ownership), 8 (health notice), 9 (intellectual property), 10 (disclaimer), 11 (limitation of liability), 12 (indemnification), and 16 (governing law) survive termination.

15. Changes to these Terms

We may modify these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you through the App. Your continued use of the App after notification constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree with the changes, you should stop using the App.

The most current version of these Terms is always available at dreamtimeapp.com/terms.

16. Governing law and dispute resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any dispute arising under these Terms shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in the City and County of San Francisco, California, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

You agree that any cause of action arising out of or related to the App must be commenced within one (1) year after the cause of action accrues. Otherwise, such cause of action is permanently barred.

17. General provisions

Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy constitute the entire agreement between you and Plutonian LLC regarding the App, superseding any prior agreements.

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full effect.

Waiver. Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not be considered a waiver of that right or provision.

Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

No agency. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, employment, or agency relationship between you and Plutonian LLC.
