The deal, in plain words.

This page is the agreement between you and whoever runs Jotgraph: what you get, what it costs, and what each of us can expect from the other. It is meant to be read, not survived. Last updated August 1, 2026.

Agreeing to this

Signing in, writing an entry or subscribing means you accept what is on this page. The privacy notice is part of it, and goes into more detail about what happens to your writing.

Who provides Jotgraph

Jotgraph is run by Yassin Younis, one person working as a sole trader rather than a company. Where this page says “we”, that is who it means.

Who can use it

You need to be at least 16, and old enough where you live to agree to something like this. You sign in with a Google or Apple account, and whatever happens under yours is your responsibility — including anything written on a device you left signed in.

What is free

Writing is free and stays free. What a subscription pays for is the map. Without one you get 3 map generations, on entries of up to 500 words; after that the writing still works and the mapping asks you to subscribe.

What it costs, and how it renews

Two plans: $8.99 a month, or $59.99 a year — which works out at $5.00 a month. Prices are in US dollars wherever you are, and Stripe adds local sales tax or VAT at checkout where it applies. Both plans renew automatically, at the same price, for the same length again, until you cancel.

The free trial

The yearly plan starts with a free trial of 7 days. It is not a one-off look: when the trial ends it becomes a paid yearly subscription by itself and your card is charged $59.99, unless you cancel before the last day. Cancel during the trial and you pay nothing.

Cancelling

Cancel any time from your account, which opens the Stripe billing portal — the same place you change your card. Cancelling stops the next renewal. It does not cut off what you have already paid for: mapping keeps working until that period runs out, and then the subscription simply ends.

Refunds

There are no partial refunds for time left on a period you have already paid for. Cancel a yearly plan in month three and you keep the remaining nine months, but they are not paid back in cash. Deleting your account cancels the subscription immediately, and that is not refunded either. None of this removes rights that consumer law where you live gives you anyway.

Your writing is yours

Everything you type here belongs to you, and none of it becomes ours by being typed here. You give us only the permission the product needs in order to work: to store your entries, show them back to you, sync them between your devices, and send them to be mapped. We do not sell your writing, publish it, or hand it to anyone to train a model on. The permission ends when you delete the entry, or the account.

Mapping sends the entry to somebody else

There is no way to draw the map without it. The text of the entry being mapped is sent to a third-party language model, reached through OpenRouter, and the map it returns is saved to your account. Nothing else about you travels with it. That model is another company's service: it can be slow, unavailable, or simply wrong, and the map is a machine's reading of your words rather than a verdict on them.

Maps you publish

Creating a share link makes that map's topic and the wording of its thoughts readable by anyone holding the URL. Your entry itself is never published and every verbatim quote is blanked out first — but the choice to publish is yours, and so is what the map says. Stop sharing at any time and the page goes down straight away.

Fair use

Don't use Jotgraph to break the law or to hurt somebody. Don't resell it, share one account between people, script it, or work around the free allowance, the weekly fair-use cap or the paywall. Don't attack the service or try to reach anyone else's entries. Don't paste in other people's personal information that you have no right to hold.

Not medical advice, and not a crisis service

Jotgraph is a notebook that draws maps. It is not therapy, it is not a doctor, and nothing it shows you is medical or mental-health advice, a diagnosis or a treatment. Nobody reads your entries, and nothing here is watching for a person in trouble or will raise an alarm on your behalf. If you are in crisis or thinking about harming yourself, please contact your local emergency number or a crisis line where you live — this app cannot help with that, and was never built to.

Availability

Jotgraph is provided as it is, with no promise that it will be uninterrupted, faultless or permanently available. Features can change or be withdrawn. Parts of it lean on other companies — Google and Apple for sign-in, Firebase for storage, Stripe for payment, OpenRouter for mapping — and their outages become ours. Keep your own copy of anything you could not bear to lose.

What we are on the hook for

As far as the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or knock-on losses: lost profit, lost time, lost data, or a decision you took because of something a map suggested. For everything else, our total liability is limited to what you actually paid us in the twelve months before the problem. Nothing here limits liability that cannot legally be limited — including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.

Ending it

You can delete your account at any time from your account settings. Deletion is immediate and permanent: it cancels the subscription there and then with no refund, and destroys your entries, your maps, any links you shared and your usage records. There is no grace period and no undo.

We can suspend or close an account that breaks these terms, that is being used to attack the service, or whose payments keep failing. Unless the law or the seriousness of what happened makes it impossible, we will tell you why.

Changes to these terms

These terms will change — a new plan, a new feature, a legal requirement. The date at the top says when they last did. If a change genuinely takes something away from you, we will say so before it takes effect rather than quietly editing this page; and if you don't accept it, cancelling and deleting the account is always there.

Which law applies

The governing law, and the courts that would hear a dispute, have not been settled yet. They will be published here before Jotgraph takes its first payment — a jurisdiction nobody chose would read exactly like a decided one, which is why this space is empty instead.

Getting in touch

A contact address will be published here before launch. We would rather say that than print a mailbox nobody is reading.
