Terms of Service

Last updated 28 August 2026. Welcome to Name It, an app by By Boston (“we,” “us,” “our”). By accessing or using Name It (the “App”), you agree to these Terms of Service. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the App.

What Name It is

Name It is a private, local-first journalling tool provided for personal, non-commercial use.

Acceptable use

You agree to use Name It only for its intended purpose. You must not:

  • Use the App in any way that violates applicable law
  • Attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or extract the App’s source code
  • Interfere with or disrupt the App’s operation or servers
  • Use the App to harm, harass, or impersonate others
  • Use the App to create or store content that is unlawful, defamatory, or infringes on others’ rights
Your content

Any entries, names, or notes you create in the App belong to you. We don’t claim ownership over your personal content. If account sync is enabled in the future, you’ll be responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials.

Intellectual property

The App’s design, user interface, specific written content, and underlying code are owned by By Boston and protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. You may not copy, reproduce, or distribute any part of the App without our permission.

Name It’s approach draws on Narrative Therapy, a therapeutic methodology developed by Michael White and David Epston and documented in their 1990 book Narrative Means to Therapeutic Ends. This methodology is not proprietary to By Boston, and Name It is an independent implementation of that approach — we do not claim ownership over the underlying technique itself.

Warranties & liability

Name It is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not guarantee the App will be error-free, uninterrupted, or free of data loss. To the maximum extent permitted by law, By Boston is not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the App, including but not limited to loss of entries or personal content.

Changes & termination

We may update the App or these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the App after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms. We may suspend or terminate access to the App for any user who violates these Terms.

Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Western Australia, Australia.
