Clear expectations

A little backup.
No surprise texts.

Updated October 16, 2026. Public enrollment and paid subscriptions are not open yet. These terms describe the planned Free and Tattle Daily service. The Apple Standard End User License Agreement applies to the iOS app.

Promises and check-ins

Tattle records the answer you choose. It cannot verify what happened in the real world. No check-in means no answer was received, not that a promise was broken. Tattle is not an emergency, medical or safety-monitoring service.

Free and Tattle Daily

Free includes promises, local reminders and three test text updates total. Tattle Daily is an optional Apple subscription with monthly or annual billing and the same allowance: up to one scheduled update per local day about one chosen promise to one consenting person. Canadian mobile numbers are supported for this release. An annual plan is paid for the full year upfront. Unused daily updates do not accumulate. Sending consumes an allowance even if the carrier cannot confirm delivery. Verification codes are separately limited. Deleting and recreating an account does not reset free allowances.

Billing and cancellation

Apple displays your local price, billing period and renewal terms before purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically until canceled through Apple. Tattle does not charge for extra texts; requests above the allowance are blocked. Removing the app, stopping texts or deleting a Tattle account does not cancel an Apple subscription. Manage or cancel it in Apple’s subscription settings. Contact Apple for payment and refund requests.

Recipient choice and delivery

Only invite someone who is willing to take part. They must verify their own number and separately agree before updates start. Consent lasts 30 days and can end sooner through STOP or a private stop link. A new verified invitation is needed after withdrawal or expiry. Never use Tattle to harass, pressure or monitor someone without their agreement.

Updates depend on a saved promise, active consent, service availability and a supported number. Carrier filtering, outages, expired consent and service spending controls can prevent or delay delivery. Tattle shows the confirmed status in Updates and does not promise emergency or guaranteed delivery. Texts already passed to a carrier cannot be recalled. Your carrier’s message and data rates may apply.
