The ground rules for using Book of Life.
By downloading, installing, or using Book of Life ("the App"), you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the App.
Book of Life is a personal reflection and journaling application developed by Automata Vista LLC. The App uses AI-powered thread detection (the Thread Engine™) to identify patterns in your journal entries and generate insights, wisdom cards, and thread collisions.
Book of Life is NOT a medical device, therapy service, mental health treatment, or counseling tool. The Thread Engine provides reflections and pattern observations, not professional advice. AI-generated content (wisdom cards, thread detection, enrichment insights) may not always be accurate or appropriate.
If you are experiencing a mental health crisis, please contact:
You retain full ownership of all content you create in the App, including journal entries, recordings, and any text you provide. Your entries are stored locally on your device. We do not claim any ownership or license over your personal content.
Wisdom cards, thread names, thread collisions, and enrichment insights are generated by AI (Claude by Anthropic). This content is generated specifically for you based on your entries. While we strive for meaningful and helpful reflections, AI-generated content is provided "as is" without warranty of accuracy, completeness, or appropriateness.
Book of Life offers one subscription: Cosmos Keeper ($6.99/month), which unlocks the full experience. All new users receive a 10-day free trial — no payment required. Subscriptions are managed through Apple's App Store and are subject to Apple's subscription terms. You can cancel at any time through your Apple ID settings.
You agree not to:
Book of Life, Thread Engine™, and all associated logos, designs, and content are the property of Automata Vista LLC. The Thread Engine™ is patent pending. All rights reserved.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Automata Vista LLC shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the App, including but not limited to emotional distress, loss of data, or reliance on AI-generated content.
The App is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
Your use of the App is also governed by our Privacy Policy, available at threadengine.ai/privacy. Please review it carefully.
We may update these Terms from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Arizona, United States, without regard to conflict of law provisions.
