1.Acceptance of these terms
These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) are a legal agreement between you and Novarush (“we”, “us”, “our”) governing your use of the Android application Usage Tracker (package identifier com.usagetracker.app, the “App”) and any related documentation or updates we make available. By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the App — or by enabling the permissions it needs to function — you confirm that you have read these Terms, that you understand them, and that you agree to be bound by them.
If you do not agree with these Terms, you must not install or use the App, and if you have already installed it you should uninstall it. If you are using the App on a device owned or controlled by an employer or another person, you confirm that you have their permission to install the App and enable its permissions on that device. These Terms incorporate our Privacy Policy by reference; the Privacy Policy explains — in detail — that the App processes usage statistics locally on your device and collects nothing.
2.Definitions
- “App” means the Usage Tracker Android application, including its user interface, code, graphics, and any updates provided by us.
- “You” means the individual who installs or uses the App on an Android device they own or control.
- “Usage Data” means the app-usage statistics the App derives on your device from Android’s system reporting (foreground sessions, durations, launch counts, app names and icons), together with the preferences you set in the App.
- “Usage Access” means the special Android permission
PACKAGE_USAGE_STATSthat you must grant manually for the App to read system usage events. - “Google Play” means Google’s digital distribution service through which the App is distributed.
3.License grant
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download, install, and use the App on Android devices that you own or control, for your own private, non-commercial purposes. This license is for use of the App as distributed through Google Play; it does not give you any right to redistribute the App or any modified version of it.
The App is provided free of charge. You may not sell, rent, lease, sublicense, or charge others for access to the App, nor distribute it through any channel other than Google Play without our prior written permission. All rights not expressly granted to you in these Terms are reserved by us.
4.Requirements & functionality
The App is designed for devices running Android 8.0 (API level 26) or newer. Its core features require the Usage Access permission, which Android treats as a special permission: it can only be granted manually in system settings, and it can be revoked by you or by the system at any time. If Usage Access is not granted — or is revoked later — the App cannot read system usage events, and its statistics screens will remain empty or show a permission gate until the permission is restored. This behaviour is by design and is required by Android’s security model.
The App works entirely offline. It does not connect to the internet, does not load remote content, and does not depend on any server. All statistics are computed and stored on your device from the data Android’s UsageStatsManager system service reports. Features such as CSV export use Android’s standard system file picker and write only to the location you explicitly choose.
What the App counts: the App models a “launch” as a foreground session reported by the operating system. Because Android does not guarantee exact launch counts to third-party apps, figures may differ slightly from other measuring tools. This is a technical property of the Android platform, not a defect.
5.Acceptable use
You agree to use the App only for lawful purposes and only in ways that respect other people’s rights and Android’s rules. In particular, you agree that you will not:
- use the App to violate any applicable law, regulation, or the rights of any person, including privacy rights;
- install the App on a device you do not own or control without the owner’s informed consent — usage statistics reveal information about how a device is used, and using the App covertly to monitor another person may be unlawful;
- attempt to reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or derive the source code of the App, except to the extent such activity is expressly permitted by applicable law despite this limitation;
- modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works of the App, or distribute modified versions;
- remove, obscure, or alter any proprietary notice, label, or mark contained in the App;
- use the App to develop a competing product or to copy its features or user interface.
If you breach these rules, the license granted in Section 3 terminates automatically and immediately.
6.Accuracy of usage statistics
All figures shown in the App — durations, sessions, launch counts, charts, and exports — are derived from the reporting of the Android operating system, which is approximate by nature and varies across devices, manufacturers, and OS versions. Events such as device restarts, force-stops, power saving restrictions, vendor-specific battery optimisation, or a revoked permission can cause gaps or rounding differences in the data. Statistics may also be incomplete for periods before you granted Usage Access.
Accordingly, the App’s output is provided for general informational and personal-productivity purposes only. It is not a certified measurement, accounting, forensic, or legal tool, and you should not rely on it as definitive proof of how any device was used. We make no representation that the statistics are complete, exact, or suitable for any particular purpose.
7.Intellectual property
The App — including its code, design, graphics, text, and the selection and arrangement of its elements — is owned by Novarush and is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. Your rights in the App are limited to the license expressly granted in Section 3; no ownership of any kind is transferred to you.
Android and Google Play are trademarks of Google LLC. All other product and app names, icons, and trademarks shown inside the App’s statistics (for example, the names and icons of the apps installed on your device) belong to their respective owners and are displayed purely to identify them. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Google LLC or any other app developer.
8.Third-party applications & platforms
The App displays statistics about other applications installed on your device. Those applications are developed and operated by third parties over whom we have no control, and their presence in the statistics does not imply any endorsement, partnership, or affiliation. Your use of any third-party application is governed solely by that third party’s own terms and privacy policy, and any issue you have with a third-party app must be resolved with its developer.
Likewise, your download and update of the App through Google Play is subject to Google Play’s Terms of Service between you and Google. We do not control Google Play, its review processes, availability, or billing systems (where applicable), and we are not responsible for anything Google does or does not do in relation to distribution of the App.
9.Price, ads & purchases
The App is free to download and use. It contains no advertisements, no in-app purchases, no subscriptions, and no paid features. If a future version ever introduces paid features or advertising, we will update these Terms and the Play Store listing in advance, and any purchase would always be made through Google Play’s billing under Google’s terms. As of the date at the top of these Terms, no such features exist.
10.Updates & availability
We may release updates, patches, or new versions of the App from time to time. Updates may change, add, or remove features, and may be required for the App to remain compatible with new versions of Android or Google Play policies. Updates are delivered through Google Play, and whether to install them is generally your choice — although the App may stop working correctly on very old versions.
We do not promise that the App will be available on Google Play forever. We may change, suspend, or discontinue the App (or any part of it) at any time, with or without notice. Because the App stores your data only on your device, discontinuing the App does not put your Usage Data at risk — it remains on your device, under your control.
11.Disclaimer of warranties
The App is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim all implied warranties and conditions, including but not limited to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy of data, uninterrupted operation, and freedom from defects or errors.
We do not warrant that the App will function on every device, Android version, or manufacturer customisation; that statistics will always be accurate or complete (see Section 6); or that the App will remain available on Google Play indefinitely. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from us or through the App creates any warranty not expressly stated in these Terms. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so parts of this section may not apply to you, in which case our warranties are limited to the minimum extent required by law.
12.Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in no event will Novarush be liable to you for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages — including loss of data, loss of profits or revenue, business interruption, or device malfunction — however caused and on any theory of liability, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the App or these Terms will not exceed the amount you actually paid us for the App (which, as of these Terms, is zero) or the minimum amount required by applicable law, whichever is greater. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law, such as liability for fraud or for death or personal injury caused by negligence. You acknowledge that the App is free and offline, and that these limitations are a reasonable allocation of risk between you and us.
13.Termination
You may stop using the App and delete it at any time by uninstalling it from your device; uninstalling also removes all Usage Data stored locally (see our Privacy Policy). Your license under Section 3 ends automatically if you breach these Terms — in particular the acceptable-use rules in Section 5 — and we may also terminate the license by ceasing distribution of the App.
Upon termination, you must stop using the App and delete all copies from your devices. Sections 6, 7, 11, 12, and 14, together with any other provision that by its nature should survive, will survive termination of these Terms and of your license to use the App.
14.Governing law & jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by the laws of India, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to the App or these Terms — including their existence, validity, or termination — will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts located in Patna, India, unless mandatory consumer-protection law in your country of residence gives you the right to bring proceedings in your local courts.
If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any right or provision under these Terms will not constitute a waiver of that right or provision.
15.Changes to these terms
We may modify these Terms from time to time — for example, to reflect changes in the App, in Google Play policies, or in applicable law. The current version will always be published at the URL where you found these Terms, with the “Last updated” date at the top revised. When we make material changes, we will also note them in the App’s release notes on Google Play where practical.
Your continued use of the App after a revised version of these Terms takes effect constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not accept the revised Terms, you should stop using the App and uninstall it. Because the App collects no data and works offline, most changes to these Terms are expected to be administrative rather than substantive.
