Terms of use
The short version
- TapGuide is free to use. Your guides belong to you.
- Only record what you have the right to record, and check guides for private information before you share them.
- The app is provided as it is, without guarantees.
1. Who these terms are with
These terms are an agreement between you and Kouidev (“we”, “us”), the developer of the TapGuide app and this website. By installing or using TapGuide you accept them. If you do not agree, please do not use the app. Questions: [email protected].
2. The app
TapGuide records the taps you make on your Android phone between Record and Stop and turns them into step-by-step guides with screenshots, which you can edit and export. We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the app on devices you own or control, under these terms and the Google Play terms of service.
Features marked “Soon” are not available yet. We may add, change or remove features at any time.
3. Your guides
You own the guides you create. They are stored on your phone, and we do not receive or have access to them. You are responsible for keeping copies of guides that matter to you; deleting the app or using “Delete all data” removes them permanently.
4. Using TapGuide responsibly
You agree that you will:
- only record apps, screens and information you are allowed to record and share, including under your employer's policies and the terms of the apps you record;
- respect other people's privacy, and not use TapGuide to capture someone else's personal data, messages or accounts without their permission;
- check every guide for personal or confidential information, and blur it, before you share it;
- not use TapGuide to break the law, to bypass security measures, or to monitor another person without their knowledge;
- not copy, modify, reverse engineer or redistribute the app except where the law allows it.
TapGuide pauses on password and PIN screens and blurs nothing by itself unless you add blur. These protections help but cannot recognise every kind of sensitive information.
5. Third-party apps and trademarks
Guides may show screens from other apps. Those apps and their trademarks belong to their owners, who do not endorse TapGuide. Android and Google Play are trademarks of Google LLC.
6. Privacy
How the app handles information is described in our privacy policy, which is part of these terms.
7. No warranty
TapGuide is provided “as is” and “as available”. We do not guarantee that it will capture every tap correctly, work with every app or device, or be free of errors. Step text is generated automatically from button labels and may be wrong; review each guide before you rely on it or share it. Nothing in these terms affects warranties or rights you have as a consumer that cannot be excluded by law.
8. Limitation of liability
To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, for loss of data, or for anything you choose to record, export or share with TapGuide. Our total liability for any claim related to the app is limited to the amount you paid for it. We do not limit liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot be limited by law.
9. Ending
You can stop using TapGuide at any time by uninstalling it. We may end your licence if you break these terms. Sections 3, 5, 7, 8 and 11 continue to apply after that.
10. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms, for example when new features arrive. We will change the date at the top of this page, and tell you in the app about important changes before they apply. Continuing to use TapGuide after that means you accept the new terms.
11. Law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of the country where Kouidev is established. If you use TapGuide as a consumer, you also keep the protection of the mandatory laws of the country where you live, and you can bring a claim in your local courts. Before going to court, please contact us; most problems can be solved by email.
