Terms of Service
Last updated 11 August 2026
These are the rules for using Stride. They are short on purpose. Using Stride means you accept them; if you don't, don't use it.
What Stride is
Stride reads your Google Calendar, works out when you are actually free, and suggests what to do next on your side project in an order that fits around school. It also has two chats: one that adjusts your plan, and one that argues with your idea.
Stride is free. There is no paid tier, no trial, and nothing to cancel.
What Stride is not
It is a planning aid, not an adviser. Stride does not give legal, tax, financial, medical, or career advice, and nothing it says should be treated as any of those. The Brainstorm chat is deliberately critical of your business idea — that is a thinking tool, not a professional opinion on whether your business will work.
It is also not a calendar. Stride reads yours and writes to a separate calendar it makes; it does not replace Google Calendar and is not a reliable place to keep anything you cannot afford to lose.
Plans are generated by a language model
Your plan, the chat replies, and the Brainstorm map are produced by Claude, an AI model made by Anthropic. That means they can be wrong. A plan may misjudge how long something takes, misread an event on your calendar, schedule work at a bad moment, or state something confidently that isn't true.
Check anything that matters before you act on it. Do not let Stride decide when to revise for an exam, and do not treat a suggested deadline as a real one. You stay responsible for your own time.
Who can use it
Stride is built for students, including people under 18. You need a Google account and a Google Calendar you already use. If you are under 13, use Stride with a parent or guardian's permission.
You are responsible for what happens under your account. Sign-in is through Google, so keeping your Google account secure is what keeps your Stride account secure.
Using it fairly
Don't:
- Try to break into other people's accounts or data, or get around the limits on what Stride can see.
- Attack, overload, scrape, or automate against the service, or use it to send anything to anyone else.
- Use Stride to plan anything illegal, or to generate content that harms other people.
There are rate limits on the parts that call the AI. They exist because each request costs real money; working around them is a reason for the account to be suspended.
Your content
What you write stays yours — your project description, chat messages, check-in notes, and Brainstorm sessions. Stride stores them so the app works and sends some of them to Anthropic to generate replies, which is set out in full in the privacy policy. Nothing you write is published, sold, or shown to other users.
Availability
Stride is a small project run by one person. It may be slow, it may break, and it may be down without warning. Features can change or be removed. If it ever shuts down for good, there will be notice in the app before your data is deleted.
There is no uptime guarantee and no support commitment, because promising either would be a lie.
Ending it
You can delete your account at any time from Settings. It takes everything with it, immediately and permanently. You can also revoke Stride's access to your calendar from your Google account permissions, separately or as well.
Accounts that abuse the service under the rules above may be suspended or removed.
Liability
Stride is provided as it is, with no warranties of any kind. To the fullest extent the law allows, Stride and its developer are not liable for anything that follows from using it — including missed deadlines, exams that went badly, a side project that failed, lost work, or a calendar that got into a state you didn't want.
Nothing here limits liability for anything that cannot legally be limited.
Changes
If these terms change in a way that affects you, the date at the top changes and you will be told in the app. Carrying on using Stride after that means you accept the new version.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Korea, and any dispute goes to the courts there. If you are a consumer somewhere else, this does not take away rights your own country gives you.
