Copyright & Licences

The short version

The app's code, design and name belong to Divyaprakash.
Everything you put into it belongs to you. That never changes.
Free to use is not the same as free to copy — no licence to the source is granted here.
The open-source components it is built on keep their own licences, listed below.

The app itself

Copyright in Personal Manager — its source code, its database design, its stylesheet, its icon and its written content, this page included — is held by Divyaprakash. The name Personal Manager and the mark it appears with are his too.

The app is given away free to use, and the Terms & Conditions set out how far that goes: use it for your own affairs, for as long as you like, at no cost. That is a permission to use the app, and no more than that. No rights in the source are transferred by using it, and no open-source licence is granted over the app's own code.

So, without written permission, please do not copy or republish the source, rebrand it as your own, or run it as a paid service. If you want to do any of those, ask — the address is one page away, and the answer is more likely yes than you might expect.

What you put in is yours

Your transactions, notes, diary entries, tasks, attachments and vault items are your property and your copyright. Nothing in these pages claims a licence over them, and nothing in the app is built on the assumption of one. They are stored to be shown back to you, and for nothing else.

You can take them out at any time, in a form other software can read — see Import & Export and Backups.

Open-source components

Personal Manager stands on the work of others, used under the terms of their licences. Copyright in each remains with its own authors, and the notices below are reproduced as those licences ask.

The MIT and BSD licences, and the Apache 2.0 licence, each permit this use provided their copyright notices travel with the software. That is what this list is for. Full licence texts are published by each project, and ship with the packages themselves.

If something here is wrong

Attribution lists go stale; it is the ordinary failure mode of a page like this. If a component is missing, credited to the wrong holder, or listed under the wrong licence, that is a mistake rather than a position — write to Prakash3300@gmail.com and it will be corrected.

The same address takes any claim that material in the app infringes someone's copyright. Say what the work is, where it appears, and how you are connected to it, and it will be looked at properly.
