napkin
legal
These terms are the agreement between you and Napkin — built and operated by Jacky Ieong, its sole developer — whenever you use the Napkin app for iPhone or Android. They're short. Please actually read them.
Napkin lets you log restaurant visits, keep wishlists and lists, and share with small private groups called Tables. By creating an account, you agree to these terms and to the Privacy Policy.
You must be at least 13 years old — or older, if that's the minimum age where you live. Keep your sign-in details to yourself; you're responsible for what happens under your account. If you think someone else has access to it, reset your password or email us.
Everything you put into Napkin — logs, notes, photos, lists, comments — belongs to you. You grant Napkin a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, and display that content so the app can work: to you, to the friends and Tables you share with, and publicly only as your privacy settings allow. The licence ends when you delete the content or your account.
Only post what you have the right to post.
Napkin has zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive behaviour. Don't:
You can report any content or user, and block any user, from inside the app. We review reports within 24 hours, remove content that violates these rules, and may suspend or terminate offending accounts.
Anything you share to a Table is visible to all of that Table's members. Tables are never public, but a log you share to one still shows on your profile while your profile is public. If you tag companions on a log, those people can see it. Share accordingly.
Restaurant details (names, addresses, hours) come from Google Places and can be wrong or stale; check before you cross town. Google Cloud Vision SafeSearch checks avatars and meal photos before publication. Imports are read by Anthropic's Claude to find the restaurants; your own screenshots, videos and pasted text only when you choose to import them, beside a line in the app saying an AI reads them. Hosting and sign-in run on Supabase. The app is distributed through Apple's App Store, and your use of the App Store is governed by Apple's terms.
You can delete your account at any time from Profile → Settings → delete account, or by email. The account freezes and signs out immediately; irreversible storage cleanup is recorded durably and retries if interrupted. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms, and we may change or discontinue the service; if Napkin ever shuts down, we'll give reasonable notice.
Napkin is provided "as is", without warranties of any kind, express or implied. It's an independent app built by one person; we care about reliability but don't promise uninterrupted or error-free service.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Napkin isn't liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, and its total liability for any claim is limited to what you paid us to use Napkin in the twelve months before the claim arose.
We may update these terms. The current version always lives at this page, with its effective date at the top; significant changes get flagged in the app. Using Napkin after a change takes effect means you accept it.
These terms are governed by the laws of the Hong Kong SAR, and disputes go to the courts of Hong Kong.
