Terms of Service

Last updated: August 2026

The short version

Anahera is a local-first spatial canvas. It is free to start, needs no account, and keeps your data on your own device. These terms set out the deal for using it: what you can do, what we promise, and what we do not. It is early-access software, so it will change, and we cannot guarantee it never breaks, which is why exporting your canvas is the one habit worth keeping.

1. Accepting these terms

By installing the Anahera Aloft Chrome extension or using the Anahera web app at anahera.space (together, the "Service"), you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service. If you are using it on behalf of an organisation, you confirm you are allowed to accept these terms for it.

2. What Anahera is

Anahera Aloft is a browser extension that captures pages you browse and places them on a spatial canvas, which also runs as a web app at anahera.space. It is provided by Anahera Design Research Lab ("we", "us"). The Service is local-first: your canvas is stored in your own browser and is not hosted, synced, or backed up by us.

3. Your licence to use it

You may use Anahera freely, for personal or work purposes.

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the Service for your own lawful purposes, including work. This licence does not transfer any ownership of the software or brand to you.

4. Your data is yours

Your canvas belongs to you, lives on your device, and is yours to back up.

Everything you capture is stored in your browser's local storage on your device. We do not receive, host, or have access to your canvas or its contents. Because your data lives with you, you are responsible for keeping it safe, clearing your browser data, switching browsers, or changing machines will start you from an empty canvas. Use Settings → Export canvas to keep your own backup and to move a canvas between machines.

5. Acceptable use

Use it for your own work; don't misuse it or break the law with it.

You agree not to:

• use the Service to break any law, or to infringe anyone's rights;
• reverse-engineer, tamper with, or disrupt the Service, except where such a restriction is prohibited by law;
• use the Service to capture or store content you are not permitted to; or
• misuse our contact or waitlist channels (spam, abuse, or automated flooding).

6. Intellectual property

The Service, including its software, design, and the Anahera name and marks, is owned by us and protected by intellectual-property law. These terms give you a licence to use it, not any ownership of it. The content you capture and the notes you write remain yours, see the next section.

7. Content you capture

Pages you capture belong to their owners; capturing them for your own reference is on you.

Anahera lets you save pages and text for your own reference. Web pages you capture remain the property of their respective owners, and you are responsible for ensuring your use of that captured content is lawful and permitted. Anahera is a personal spatial memory, not a republishing or redistribution tool.

8. No warranty

Anahera is early-access software, provided as-is.

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, to the fullest extent permitted by law. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that it will preserve your data. Features may change or be withdrawn as the product evolves.

Nothing in these terms limits any rights you have under the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 or other laws that cannot be excluded. Where the Service is supplied for the purposes of a business, the Consumer Guarantees Act does not apply.

9. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect or consequential loss, or for any loss of data, arising from your use of the Service. Because your canvas lives only on your device, the loss of your data is a risk you manage by exporting your own backups. Our total liability to you for any claim relating to the Service is limited to the amount you paid us for it, which for the free Service is nil.

10. Changes to the Service and these terms

We may update the Service and these terms as Anahera develops. The date at the top of this page reflects the latest revision, and continued use after a change means you accept the updated terms. If we introduce paid plans in future, separate terms will apply to those and will be presented before you subscribe.

11. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of New Zealand, and any dispute relating to them or to the Service is subject to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the New Zealand courts.
