SuperCards

Terms of Service

The legal stuff, made readable

Effective Date: January 2026  |  Last Updated: October 2026

Agreement to Terms

SuperCards is operated by SuperCards LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company ("SuperCards," "we," "our," or "us"). By downloading, installing, or using SuperCards ("the Apps"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms") between you and SuperCards LLC. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Apps.

These Terms apply to:

  • SuperCards for macOS (desktop application)
  • SuperCards Mobile (iOS application)
  • The SuperCards website at supercards.io

Software Updates and Backups

SuperCards is actively developed. We release updates regularly, and features may be added, changed, or removed over time. The macOS app checks for updates automatically; the iOS app updates through the App Store.

Your decks live on your own devices and, if you turn on sync, in your own iCloud Drive. They are never stored on our servers, which also means we cannot recover them for you. We strongly recommend:

  • Keeping a regular backup of your Mac (your library is a folder of plain files, so Time Machine or any backup tool works)
  • Exporting a copy of any deck you can't afford to lose
  • Reporting bugs and issues so we can fix them

Description of Service

SuperCards is a flashcard application that allows you to:

  • Create and edit flashcard decks on macOS
  • Study flashcards on iOS using gesture-based controls
  • Export and import deck data between devices

SuperCards is currently a local-first application. Your data is stored on your device, not on our servers.

Your Account

SuperCards does not currently require user accounts. You can use the full functionality of the Apps without registering or providing personal information. Future versions may introduce optional accounts for features like cloud sync. These Terms will be updated accordingly.

Your Content

Ownership

You retain full ownership of all content you create in SuperCards, including:

  • Flashcard text and formatting
  • Images you upload or add to cards
  • Deck organization and structure

Your Responsibilities

You are responsible for:

  • The content you create (ensuring it doesn't violate laws or third-party rights)
  • Backing up your data
  • Maintaining the security of your devices

  • Infringes on intellectual property rights of others

Since your content is stored locally and not transmitted to us, we do not monitor your content. However, violation of these restrictions may result in termination of your license to use the Apps.

  • Email (if you've provided one)

Your continued use of the Apps after changes constitutes acceptance of the new Terms.
