Lark Photo — Terms of Use

Effective: November 6, 2026

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) are an agreement between you and Lark Studio, LLC (“Lark Studio,” “we,” “us”) about your use of the Lark Photo app for iPhone (“Lark Photo” or “the app”). By downloading or using Lark Photo you agree to these Terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the app.

We’ve tried to write these in plain language. Where a section has a plain-language summary in italics, the summary is there to help, and the full text is what applies.

1. What Lark Photo is

Lark Photo helps you review and tidy your own Apple Photos library, one calendar date at a time. It works entirely on your phone, on top of Apple’s Photos technology. It has no account, no server, and collects no data; our Privacy Policy explains this in full.

2. Price, free trial, and purchase

You can try the app for free. One purchase unlocks it for good. Apple handles the payment and any refund.

Free to try. Lark Photo is free to download. You can open and sort a limited number of calendar dates — the app tells you how many before you begin and as you go — with every feature available for those dates, including deleting photos.

One-time purchase. After the free dates, opening additional dates requires a single in-app purchase. The price is shown in the app and on the App Store in your local currency at the time you buy. It is a one-time payment: there is no subscription, no renewal, and nothing further to pay for the version of Lark Photo you unlock. The purchase is tied to your Apple Account and can be restored on any iPhone signed in to that account using the Restore Purchase button in the app.

Apple processes the purchase. All purchases are made through Apple’s App Store and are subject to Apple’s terms. We do not handle your payment, see your payment details, or have the ability to issue refunds. Refund requests go to Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com, and Apple decides them under its own policies.

Price changes. We may change the price for new purchases at any time. A change never affects a purchase you have already made.

3. Your photos are yours — and your responsibility

Lark Photo acts on your photos only when you tell it to. Deletions are real. Please keep a backup.

Lark Photo never changes your library on its own. Favoriting, adding to albums, sharing, and deleting happen only when you choose them, and deletions happen only after you confirm a batch.

When you confirm a deletion, Lark Photo asks iOS to delete those photos and videos, and iOS moves them to the Recently Deleted album in the Photos app, where Apple keeps them for 30 days before removing them permanently. You can recover items from Recently Deleted during that window. If you use iCloud Photos, a deletion made on your phone is applied to all of your devices signed in to iCloud, exactly as a deletion in the Photos app would be.

You are responsible for the decisions you make in the app and for keeping a backup of anything you cannot afford to lose. Lark Photo is a sorting tool, not a backup service, and it cannot recover a photo after iOS has removed it permanently.

4. Permissions

Lark Photo needs full access to your Apple Photos library to work, because it has to read the dates of every photo to gather one date across all years. It can also send you reminders, but only if you switch them on. You can change either permission at any time in iOS Settings; the app will explain what it can and can’t do without them.

5. License to use the app

You may use Lark Photo on iPhones you own or control. You may not copy it, resell it, or take it apart.

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use Lark Photo on any iPhone that you own or control and that is permitted by Apple’s usage rules in the App Store terms. The app may be accessed and used by other accounts associated with you via Family Sharing or volume purchasing where Apple makes those available.

You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, rent, lend, or sublicense the app; reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract its source code except where the law expressly allows it; remove any copyright or trademark notice; or use the app in any way that breaks the law or violates Apple’s App Store terms.

Lark Photo, its design, its name, and the Lark logo are owned by Lark Studio, LLC and protected by copyright and trademark law. These Terms give you no ownership of the app, only the right to use it.

6. Updates and support

We may release updates to the app from time to time, and we may change, pause, or discontinue features or the app as a whole. We’ll try to give reasonable notice of anything that matters. Support is available by email at support@larkstudio.dev; we aim to answer every message but cannot promise a response time.

Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for Lark Photo.

7. No warranty

We built Lark Photo carefully, but we can’t promise it will be perfect.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, LARK PHOTO IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. We do not promise that the app will be error-free or uninterrupted, or that it will work with every photo library or every version of iOS.

If the app fails to conform to any warranty that the law does not allow us to exclude, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price to you. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation of any kind with respect to Lark Photo.

Some places do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms limits any statutory consumer right you have that cannot be waived.

8. Limitation of liability

If something goes wrong, our responsibility is limited to what you paid for the app.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, LARK STUDIO, LLC AND ITS OWNERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF DATA, PHOTOS, OR VIDEOS, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF LARK PHOTO, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATED TO THE APP WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR IT.

This limitation does not apply to liability that cannot be limited under the law that applies to you.

9. Apple’s role

Apple sells the app on our behalf but isn’t a party to these Terms, except that Apple can enforce them.

These Terms are between you and Lark Studio, LLC, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for Lark Photo or its content. In particular:

  • Lark Studio, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claim you or a third party has relating to the app, including product liability claims, claims that the app fails to meet a legal or regulatory requirement, and consumer-protection or similar claims.
  • Lark Studio, not Apple, is responsible for investigating, defending, settling, and discharging any claim that the app infringes a third party’s intellectual property rights.
  • You confirm that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as a “terrorist supporting” country, and that you are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
  • You must comply with any applicable third-party terms (for example, your wireless carrier’s data terms) when using the app.
  • Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms. Once you accept them, Apple has the right to enforce them against you as a third-party beneficiary.

Apple’s own Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies to apps downloaded from the App Store. If anything in these Terms conflicts with it, Apple’s agreement controls for the part that conflicts.

10. Ending the agreement

You can stop using Lark Photo at any time by deleting it. We may end your license if you materially break these Terms. Sections 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, and 11 continue to apply after the agreement ends.

11. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of [State], USA, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute that cannot be resolved informally will be brought in the state or federal courts located in [County, State], and you consent to their jurisdiction. Nothing in this section takes away any protection you have under the consumer laws of the country where you live.

12. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The effective date at the top tells you when they last changed. If a change is significant, we’ll note it in the app’s release notes. Continuing to use the app after a change means you accept the updated Terms.
