Terms of Service

Last updated: 19 August 2026

These terms are an agreement between you and Thorpe Software Ltd (“we”, “us”), a company registered in England and Wales, company number 17382863, trading as Homescreen, for the service at gethomescreen.com. By creating an account you accept them. Questions: axel@gethomescreen.com.

The service

Homescreen turns your description into a web app your audience can add to their home screen, and gives you the tools to run it: content editing, push notifications, subscriptions, and analytics. Building, previewing and publishing your app are free within your plan's credits. Paid plans buy more monthly credits and the features listed on the pricing page; they are not required to put your app live.

Credits and subscriptions

• Plans include a monthly credit allowance; a build or edit spends credits. Credits refresh monthly and don't roll over.
• Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled. Cancel any time; your plan runs to the end of the paid period. Statutory refund rights are unaffected.
• We may change prices with at least 30 days' notice before your next renewal.

Your content and your app

What you make is yours. You keep all rights to the content you add and to your relationship with your audience. You grant us the licence needed to host, process, generate, and deliver your app. We may showcase example apps only with your permission.

Apps are generated by AI from your description. Review your app before shipping it — you're responsible for its content, for having the rights to what you upload, and for how you use it.

Connected accounts and the data we handle for you

When you connect a social account — Instagram, or another platform we support — you are authorising us to read that account on your behalf so we can build and update your app. We act as your technology provider for that access: we work on your instructions, for your app, and for no other purpose.

• The content stays yours. Your posts, captions, images and the replies underneath them remain yours. You decide what goes into your app.
• You control the access. We only read what the permissions you granted allow. You can disconnect at any time, in your dashboard or from the platform itself, and we stop reading immediately.
• We do not use it for anything else. We do not sell it, and we do not use one creator's content to build another creator's app or to train our own models.
• Your fans' data is yours too. Where fans sign in, subscribe or save recipes in your app, you decide how that relationship works. We hold that data to run your app for you, and we hand it back or delete it if you leave.
• We use other services to do this. They are named in our privacy policy, and each of them handles data under an agreement with us that holds them to the same standards.

In data protection terms: for the content and audience data we handle in order to run your app, you are the controller and we are your processor. For your own account with us — your login, your billing, your usage of Homescreen itself — we are the controller, and our privacy policy explains what we do with it.

If you close your account, we delete the content we hold for your app, subject to the retention described in our privacy policy. You can also ask us to delete it sooner.

Fan payments

Fan subscriptions are processed by Stripe under Stripe's terms, with payouts to your connected Stripe account. You are the merchant for your fans: your prices, your customers, your responsibility for delivering what you promise them. Our platform fee and any payment-processing take are shown when you enable monetisation.

Acceptable use

Don't use Homescreen to break the law, infringe others' rights, distribute malware, harass people, or build apps whose primary purpose is deception (including impersonation or scams). Don't attempt to breach, overload, or reverse-engineer the service. We can suspend or remove apps or accounts that do.

Availability and changes

We work hard to keep Homescreen fast and available, but it's provided “as is”, without warranties, and we may change or discontinue features. If we ever discontinue the service entirely, we'll give you reasonable notice and a way to export your content.

Liability

To the extent the law allows, we're not liable for indirect or consequential losses, and our total liability is capped at the fees you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing in these terms limits liability that can't legally be limited.

Ending the agreement

You can close your account any time. We can suspend or end accounts that break these terms, with notice where practical. Sections that should survive (content ownership, liability, disputes) survive.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and disputes belong to its courts — without affecting mandatory consumer protections where you live.
