What DevDeck is
DevDeck is a tool for planning and finishing software work. It tracks projects, tasks, planned time and releases, and can read a GitHub repository you connect so that commits close the tasks they name.
It is a personal productivity tool, not a system of record. Keep your own backups of anything you cannot afford to lose.
Your account
An account is optional for DevDeck's local planning features, but it is required for account sync, GitHub integration, collaboration, and account-linked Pro access. If you create one, you are responsible for the email addresses, password, invitation links and devices you use and for what happens under the account. Tell us promptly if you believe someone else has access to it.
You may add labeled secondary email addresses after proving you control them with a one-time code. If an invitation was sent to a different address, you may choose to add it using possession of that single-use invitation link as proof. You can select an address for each project and make a confirmed secondary address your primary sign-in address.
An email address can belong to only one DevDeck account at a time. Remove it from its existing account before using it on another. To request deletion of your account, contact [email protected].
Your content
Everything you put into DevDeck stays yours. We claim no ownership of it, and we do not use it to train anything or sell it to anyone. We store it only to provide the features you turned on.
You are responsible for having the right to store what you put in, and for not using DevDeck to hold anything unlawful.
Sharing a project
You can invite people to a project and give each of them a role. Inviting somebody is you deciding to give them access, so it is your responsibility to invite the right address and to give the role you meant: a viewer reads, a contributor edits, a maintainer also manages people, and the owner can hand the project on or delete it.
A shared project's work belongs to the project and stays with the account that owns it. Removing somebody, or leaving yourself, ends their access; it does not remove what they contributed, and it does not delete anything they had already seen or copied.
Release approval records who approved or rejected a version, and why. People and release approvals show a member's profile name, when provided, together with the email selected for that project. That record is part of the project's history and is visible to everybody on it.
You are responsible for what you and the people you invite put into a shared project, and for having the right to share it with them.
Connecting a repository
You must be signed in to a DevDeck account to connect GitHub. You authorize the DevDeck GitHub App and choose which repositories it may access. You must have authority to install the App and grant access to every repository you select.
The GitHub App requests read-only access to repository metadata and contents so DevDeck can list installed repositories, read branches and commits, match commits to tasks, and show requested file changes. It does not request permission to write to your repositories. DevDeck's server links the GitHub App installation to your DevDeck account and makes these reads on your behalf.
You can change repository access or uninstall the GitHub App in GitHub. Disconnecting a repository in DevDeck removes the in-app connection; it does not uninstall the GitHub App. If access is removed, GitHub features in DevDeck may stop working until you reconnect.
GitHub is a separate service with its own terms. Your use of it is between you and GitHub, and DevDeck cannot control availability, rate limits or changes to their API.
Trials, redeem codes and purchases
DevDeck may offer an account trial. Its length and end date are shown in the app, it does not restart when you reinstall or change devices, and access ends when the server-held trial expires unless another entitlement applies.
Promotional redeem codes are scoped to DevDeck and to the account that claims them. A code may add a stated number of trial days or grant lifetime Pro without an expiry date. Codes may have a total use limit, may be deactivated, and can be redeemed only once by the same account. They have no cash value.
DevDeck Pro is sold through Google Play, and Google's terms govern the transaction itself. A subscription renews until you cancel it, and cancelling is done in Google Play rather than in the app. A one-time purchase does not renew.
Pro access belongs to the DevDeck account linked to the purchase and follows that account across supported platforms after sign-in. A purchase can belong to only one DevDeck account at a time. Transferring it requires confirmation codes sent to both the current owner and the receiving account.
Refunds are handled by Google Play under their policy. If you were charged and did not receive access, contact us before buying again and we will sort it out.
Features described as coming are not yet released, and buying Pro today is buying what Pro does today.
Availability
The app works offline; the sync service does not. We do not promise uninterrupted availability of the service, and we may change or discontinue parts of it. If we discontinue sync, we will give reasonable notice and a way to keep your data.
Acceptable use
Do not attempt to break, overload or gain unauthorised access to the service, and do not use it to harm anyone else. We may suspend an account that does.
Do not use invitations to send unwanted mail. An invitation is for somebody you are actually working with, and an address you have a reason to have.
Liability
DevDeck is provided as it is. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for lost work, lost profits, or indirect or consequential damages arising from your use of it. Nothing here limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited.
Changes
These terms may change. The date above changes with them, and material changes will be made visible in the app. Continuing to use DevDeck after that means accepting the updated terms.
