Terms of Service

Last updated 27 August 2026

The software

The Reverie desktop app is proprietary software, licensed to you and not sold. You may use it for your own purposes, personal or commercial — including recordings you make for clients, employers or an audience. You may not redistribute, resell, reverse engineer or modify the app, or bypass its licensing. The full licence is the End User Licence Agreement; this page covers the app, accounts, subscriptions and this website as a service.

Releases published before 4 August 2026 were made available under the MIT Licence. That grant still stands for those versions.

Tiers

Reverie has one free tier and two paid tiers. What each includes:

Four things are never gated, on any tier, ever:

• Recording length. No tier meters how long a take can run.
• Recording count. No tier caps how many recordings you make.
• The local original. Every recording lands on your own disk first and stays yours.
• Basic trimming. Every tier can cut a recording.

And a standing promise: a feature available in the free tier will not be moved behind a paywall in a later release.

Accounts

Paid tiers require an account, created with Google sign-in. An account is for one person; keep the email on it reachable, since it is how we tell you anything that matters about your subscription or your hosted files. What an account stores is described in the Privacy Policy.

Subscriptions and billing

Paid tiers are billed as a monthly subscription through Paddle, who is the merchant of record — for payment purposes you are buying from Paddle, and Paddle handles payment processing, applicable taxes and invoicing under Paddle's buyer terms. We never see or store your payment details. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled; you can cancel at any time and keep the tier until the end of the period you paid for. If a price ever changes, existing subscribers get clear notice before their next renewal, and renewal at the new price is their choice.

Refunds are covered plainly on the refund policy page.

When a subscription ends

If your subscription lapses, is cancelled, or a payment fails, the app returns to the free tier — it never stops working. Your recordings, your local files and the free tier's features are untouched. Two things change:

• Paid features (higher resolutions, 60 fps, no watermark, branded links, paid effects) switch off until you resubscribe.
• Your hosted videos enter a 30-day grace period: existing links keep working, but new uploads stop. After 30 days, hosted files are deleted and their links stop working. Because the original of every recording is on your own machine, nothing of yours is ever lost — resubscribe within the grace period and everything continues as before.

Hosted storage

Each paid tier includes a fixed amount of hosted storage. The limit is a hard one, checked before an upload starts: if a video would not fit, the upload is refused with the numbers shown — it is never throttled, and you are never billed for overage, because overage cannot happen. Free up space by deleting hosted videos, or upload a smaller share copy.

If you move to a smaller tier while storing more than its limit, nothing is deleted: your existing links keep working, and new uploads are refused until you are under the new limit.

Share links

On the free tier, Reverie uploads to your own Google Drive and hands you Google's own link to your own file. Playback happens on Google's page, served by Google from your Drive. We do not host, proxy or re-serve that video, and nothing about the link depends on Reverie continuing to exist — it was never ours.

On paid tiers, videos you choose to host are served from our storage at a reverie.video link. Those links work for as long as the file is hosted: until you delete it, or until the grace period after a lapsed subscription ends. Anyone with a link can view it, so treat share links as you would any unlisted URL.

Your content

Your recordings are yours. We claim no rights over them. For videos you host with us, you grant us only the permission needed to do the thing you asked for: to store the file and serve it to the people you share the link with. We never process, analyse or modify it — see the Privacy Policy for exactly what we can and cannot see. You are responsible for what you record and who you share it with — including having the right to record any people, screens, or material that appear in your videos, and complying with the recording-consent laws that apply where you are.

Acceptable use and takedown

Don't use Reverie to record or distribute anything unlawful, to capture people without the consent the law requires, or to infringe someone else's rights. For recordings on your own machine or your own Drive we cannot see your content and cannot police this — it remains your responsibility. For videos hosted on our storage, we can and will act: we may remove hosted content that is unlawful, infringing, or used to harm people, and repeated abuse may end the account.

To report a hosted video — copyright, privacy, or anything else — email [email protected] with the link and the reason. Reports are read by a person and acted on quickly.

Availability

The recorder is built to never depend on our servers: subscription state is cached on your machine, and an outage on our side never stops you recording. The hosted parts — accounts, uploads, branded links — are provided as-is; we work to keep them up but do not guarantee uninterrupted availability.

No warranty

Reverie is provided "as is", without warranty of any kind. Recording software touches screen capture, cameras, microphones and uploads, and any of those can fail. Do not rely on Reverie as the sole record of something you cannot afford to lose. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for lost recordings, lost time, lost data, or any other damages arising from use of the software or the service. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Google Drive

Connecting Google Drive is optional and subject to Google's own terms and your Google account's storage limits. Reverie requests only the drive.file scope, which reaches nothing but the files it creates; details are in the Privacy Policy. You can revoke access at any time at myaccount.google.com/permissions.

Changes

These terms may be updated; the current version always lives at this URL with its date. A change that matters to subscribers will be announced before it takes effect. Continuing to use Reverie after a change means you accept it.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of India, and any dispute is subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of Mumbai. If you are a consumer, nothing here deprives you of protections that the law of your own country makes mandatory.

Who you are contracting with

Reverie is a trading name of Franz D'Sa, an individual developer. These terms are between you and him, except that paid subscriptions are purchased from Paddle as merchant of record under Paddle's buyer terms. Nothing here creates a company, partnership or employment relationship.
