Terms

Last updated 2 September 2026

The short version: use FIREBIRD honestly, don't be cruel to anyone in it, and what you write stays yours.

These terms are between you and Striking Ventures LLC. Using FIREBIRD — the iPhone app or firebird.life — means you accept them.

Who can use it

You need to be 13 or older. If you're under 18, you need a parent or guardian's permission. One account per person; don't share your account with anyone.

What you put in stays yours

Your goals, challenges, receipts and journal are your content. We don't claim ownership of any of it. You give us only the permission we need to run the service — storing it, showing it back to you, and showing a shared challenge's receipts to the other people in that challenge. Nothing more. We don't use your content to train anything, and we don't sell it.

If you delete your account, we delete your content from our servers. See the privacy page for exactly what is stored where.

What you can't do

FIREBIRD lets people in a shared challenge see each other's check-ins and reply to them. That makes a few things off limits:

Reporting, and what happens next

Report anything from inside the app — the menu on a check-in, or hold a comment. You can block the person at the same time; you'll stop seeing each other entirely, and neither of you can comment on the other's check-ins.

Anything urgent, email hello@firebird.life. We review reports and prioritize urgent safety issues. We'll remove content that breaks these rules and can suspend or remove an account for it. If we get it wrong, reply and tell us — we'll look again.

The assistant

FIREBIRD's assistant is a language model. It gets things wrong, and it will occasionally mishear you or file something under the wrong challenge — everything it produces is editable for that reason. It isn't medical, psychological, legal or financial advice. If you're struggling, please talk to someone qualified.

Paying

FIREBIRD offers free features and an optional Pro subscription for hosting more than one active squad challenge. The price, billing period and any eligible trial appear before purchase. Apple subscriptions renew automatically until canceled through your Apple account settings. Deleting FIREBIRD or your account does not cancel a subscription. Apple handles App Store payments and refund requests. Existing beta members who have received a permanent Pro grant keep that access without a subscription when using the same account, including on the web. FIREBIRD conversations have daily and monthly usage allowances, including on Pro and permanent beta access. Longer conversations, photos and deeper reflections use more of the allowance. If you reach it, you can still use your journal, check-ins and challenges; the app explains when conversations reset. Live voice currently allows six calls per UTC calendar month, up to three starts per day and five minutes per call. A connection attempt reserves a call, including if the connection fails. Text conversation has its own allowance. Your existing journal and receipts do not require a Pro subscription to keep.

Stopping

You can delete your account at any time in Settings, and we process deletion from the active account database. If deletion cannot finish, the app explains that it failed and how to contact support. We can close an account that breaks these terms, and we'll tell you why unless doing so would put someone at risk.

The boring but necessary part

FIREBIRD is provided as-is. We work hard on it, but we don't promise it will be uninterrupted or error-free, and we're not liable for indirect or consequential losses. Nothing here limits liability that can't be limited by law. These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware.

Changes

If we change these terms materially we'll tell you in the app before the change takes effect. The date at the top always says when this was last revised.
