Terms, refunds and privacy

Last updated November 15, 2026

What Tinbit is

Tinbit is a web app with an animated robot companion that keeps you company while you focus. The basic Focus Buddy is free to use at heytinbit.com/app.

Founding-member pre-order

• The founding-member offer is a one-time payment of $49 USD for lifetime access to Tinbit Plus, limited to 500 people.
• It's a pre-order. We expect full access to Tinbit Plus in early 2027, and founding members get it first. We'll email you about progress and when your access is ready.
• "Lifetime" means for as long as we operate Tinbit Plus. If we ever shut it down within two years of your purchase, we'll refund you in full.
• Payments are processed securely by Stripe. We never see or store your card details.

Refunds

• Changed your mind? You can get a full refund any time before Tinbit Plus launches, no questions asked.
• After launch, you can request a full refund within 30 days of getting access.
• If we can't deliver Tinbit Plus, everyone who pre-ordered gets a full refund.
• To request a refund, reply to your Stripe receipt email. Refunds go back to your original payment method, usually within 5 to 10 business days.

Privacy

• Tinbit never uses your camera or microphone and doesn't see your screen. The web version only knows whether its own tab is in front.
• Your focus stats and streaks are stored in your browser, not on our servers.
• If you join the waitlist, we store your email address, the date and where you heard about us. We use it only to email you about Tinbit, and we never sell it. Ask us any time and we'll delete it.
• We use Cloudflare to host the site and Stripe to take payments. They process data on our behalf under their own privacy terms.

Using Tinbit

Tinbit is a productivity tool, not medical advice or treatment. Please use it kindly and don't try to break or misuse the service. We may update these terms, and if a change matters for founding members, we'll email you first.
