Legal
Last updated · 11 September 2026
These terms govern your use of the Cara app and website. Cara is meant to be simple and kind; we’ve tried to keep these terms the same way.
Cara is operated by Cara App Limited (“we”, “us”), a company registered in Northern Ireland (company number NI742229). You can reach us at support@trycara.app. Our registered office is in section 12.
Cara is an accountability app. You set routines and one-off tasks, share them with accountability partners or a group, and each of you can see the others’ progress, cheer a day that was kept, nudge one that wasn’t, and talk about it in comments. You can add a note or a photo to a completed routine. If you allow it, your partners are notified when a routine goes unticked past its grace period.
Cara Plus adds Focus, which uses Apple’s Screen Time framework to hold the apps you choose closed until a routine is done; a weekly review; more partners on your routines; groups you start; and no ads.
Cara is a motivation tool, not a medical, psychological or professional service. It is not a substitute for professional advice, and you shouldn’t rely on it for anything health-critical. Focus is a nudge you set for yourself, not a parental control or a security feature: a lock can be released by you, ends on its schedule, and lapses if your Plus subscription does.
Don’t use Cara to:
There is no tolerance for objectionable content or for abusive behaviour towards other people. Anyone who posts it may have their account removed without warning.
Every routine, note, comment, photo and group message is posted by the person who posted it, not by us. If you see something objectionable, report it: open the person’s profile in the app and choose Report or block, use Report on the comment, message or photo itself, or write to support@trycara.app. We read every report, usually within a day, and we remove content and accounts that break these rules. Blocking someone takes effect immediately: you stop seeing each other, any routines you shared end, and neither of you can contact the other again. There is one exception. If you are both still in the same group, they can carry on seeing that group’s routines and how everyone on them is doing, including you. Leaving the group is what ends that.
Your routines, tasks, notes, photos and messages are yours. You give us the limited licence needed to store them and show them to you and to the partners and groups you choose, and nothing more. We never sell your content or use it for advertising. The ads on the free plan are Google’s and are not based on anything you write in Cara.
We work hard to keep Cara running, but it’s provided “as is” and we can’t promise it will always be available or error-free. We may add, change or remove features. If we ever discontinue Cara, we’ll give you reasonable notice, and you can ask us for a copy of your data at any time.
Nothing in these terms limits liability that can’t be limited by law. Otherwise, our liability to you is limited to the amount you’ve paid us in the 12 months before the claim. We’re not liable for indirect losses, or for what a partner or group member does with information you chose to share with them.
If we make material changes, we’ll notify you in the app or by email before they take effect. Continuing to use Cara after that means you accept the updated terms.
These terms are governed by the law of Northern Ireland, and disputes belong to the courts of Northern Ireland, though nothing removes protections you have under the mandatory laws of where you live.
