Markd is a minimalist productivity and habit-tracking application that enables users to build daily routines, track habit completions, log progress, and visualise their history through statistics and timelines. Features include local data storage, optional cloud backup via Google Drive, home screen widgets, and optional biometric app security.
The Services are not intended for distribution to or use by any person or entity in any jurisdiction where such use would be contrary to law or regulation. Users who access Markd from outside India do so on their own initiative and are solely responsible for compliance with local laws.

If you choose to submit feedback or suggestions to us directly, you retain ownership of your original ideas. However, by submitting feedback, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to use, adapt, and implement that feedback for any purpose without compensation to you.
Markd is available in two tiers: a free tier limited to 3 active habits, and Markd Pro, which provides unlimited habits and access to all premium features.
Markd Pro is available as a monthly subscription, an annual subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. All payments are processed through Google Play and managed by RevenueCat.
Monthly and Annual subscriptions automatically renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period. You may cancel at any time through the Google Play Store. Access to Pro features continues until the end of the paid billing period.
A lifetime purchase grants permanent access to all current Pro features at the time of purchase.
Free trial: Where a free trial is offered, it will be clearly indicated in the app. Your payment method will be charged at the end of the trial period unless you cancel before the trial expires.
Refunds are handled by Google Play in accordance with their refund policy. We do not process refunds directly.
We reserve the right, but not the obligation, to: (1) monitor the Services for violations of these Terms; (2) take appropriate action against anyone who violates these Terms or applicable law, including reporting them to law enforcement; (3) restrict or disable access to any content or feature at our discretion; and (4) otherwise manage the Services to protect our rights and ensure proper functioning.
These Terms remain in full force and effect while you use the Services.
We reserve the right to deny access to or terminate your use of the Services at any time, without notice or liability, for any reason, including breach of these Terms.
