Terms of Service
Last updated: June 25, 2026
The short version: Birdie is a free app made with care and offered as-is. Please use it kindly, treat it as a helpful nudge rather than a guarantee, and know that your calendar data is handled per our Privacy Policy.
1. Agreement
By downloading or using Birdie, you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, please don't use Birdie. These Terms are between you and Francesca Kim, the maintainer of Birdie ("we," "us"). Questions? Email app.birdieflies@gmail.com.
2. What Birdie is
Birdie is a free desktop app that flies a little bird across your screen when a meeting is about to start. It connects to your Google Calendar or Outlook / Microsoft 365 calendar (read-only) so it knows when to fly.
3. Your license to use it
You may use Birdie for free, for personal or work purposes. Birdie is proprietary software: the app is provided for your use, but its source code is closed, and you may not copy, modify, redistribute, resell, or reverse-engineer it. The Birdie name, logo, and bird artwork remain ours.
4. Acceptable use
- Don't use Birdie to break the law or to access calendars or accounts that aren't yours.
- Don't attempt to disrupt, overload, or misuse the service or our providers.
- Don't remove or misrepresent ownership of the app or its artwork.
5. Your calendar account & other services
Birdie reads your Google Calendar or Outlook / Microsoft 365 calendar only with your permission and only as described in our Privacy Policy. Your use of those services is also governed by Google's and Microsoft's own terms. You can revoke Birdie's access any time at myaccount.google.com/connections for Google, or account.microsoft.com/privacy/app-access for Microsoft.
6. No warranty
Birdie is provided "as is," without warranties of any kind. We do our best, but we don't guarantee that Birdie will catch every meeting, run without errors, or be available at all times. Please don't rely on Birdie as your only reminder for anything important. Think of it as a delightful backup nudge, not a critical system.
7. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent allowed by law, we are not liable for any missed meetings, lost time, or any indirect or incidental damages arising from using (or being unable to use) Birdie. Birdie is free, and our total liability to you is limited to what you paid for it, which is nothing.
8. Availability & changes
Birdie is offered free of charge with no service-level guarantee. We may update, change, or discontinue the app or this website at any time.
9. Changes to these Terms
If these Terms change, we'll update the date at the top. Continuing to use Birdie after a change means you accept the updated Terms.
