Terms of Service

Version 2026-11-01 · Effective November 1, 2026 · Team Nebula · Blurt for Mac

These terms are the agreement between you and Team Nebula about using Blurt. Please read them. By installing Blurt, creating an account, joining the waitlist or using the app, you agree to them. If you do not agree, do not use Blurt. The Privacy Policy explains what happens to your data.

What Blurt is

Blurt is a Mac app for voice dictation and narration. You speak and Blurt types the text into the app you are using. It can also read replies and notes aloud. Blurt works on-device by default: speech recognition and the writing tools can run on your Mac without sending your voice anywhere. Some features are optional and use the cloud, such as cloud transcription, cloud writing models, cloud voices, an account, note sync and Blurt Cloud. When you turn one of those on, the content that feature needs is sent to the service that runs it.

Beta software

Blurt is in an invite-only beta. Features can change, break or go away, and we may stop offering a feature. Keep your own copy of anything important that you dictate or write.

Your account and who can use Blurt

You must be at least 16 years old, or the age at which you can form a binding contract where you live if that is higher. If you use Blurt for a company, you confirm you can accept these terms for it. Give accurate information when you sign up and keep your sign-in secure. You are responsible for what happens under your account.

Your content stays yours

What you dictate, write and record belongs to you. You give Team Nebula and the providers you choose only the permission needed to run the features you use, such as turning your speech into text or syncing your notes. We do not sell your data or use it for advertising. When you choose a cloud provider, that provider receives the content the feature needs and handles it under its own terms.

You promise that you have the right to dictate, record and process what you put into Blurt.

AI output can be wrong

Blurt uses speech recognition and AI models. Their output can be wrong. A transcript can mishear a word, a name or a number. A summary, rewrite, title or action item can leave something out or add something that was never said. Always review Blurt's output before you rely on it, send it, publish it or use it to make a decision, especially anything medical, legal, financial, safety-related or about another person. Blurt is not a substitute for professional advice, and you are responsible for what you do with its output.

Your responsibilities

• Your device and accounts. You are responsible for the security of your device, your operating system, your Blurt account, your sign-in and any other account you connect. Use a screen lock, keep your Mac up to date, and do not leave Blurt signed in on a computer other people use.
• Your keys. If you add a provider key, you are responsible for keeping it safe and for any usage billed to it. Blurt stores keys encrypted on your Mac, but it cannot protect a key you paste somewhere else or share.
• People you record or dictate about. You are responsible for who you dictate about and who you record. Laws about recording calls and meetings differ by country and state. Some require everyone’s consent. It is your job to know the rules that apply to you, to tell people and get their consent where the law requires it, and to follow your employer’s rules. Blurt does not check this for you.
• Sensitive information. Do not use Blurt for information you are not allowed to process this way, for example regulated health data or other data you are legally required to keep out of third-party services.

Your privacy depends on your settings

How private your voice and text stay depends on the choices you make and the environment you use Blurt in: which providers you select, whether you sign in, which sync and sharing options you turn on, and the security of your own Mac and network. Blurt has done its best to make private choices easy, but it cannot guarantee absolute security or privacy. No software, network or service is perfectly secure.

Anonymous usage data is on by default

Blurt shares anonymous usage data to improve the app. It is on by default, and you can turn it off any time in Settings › Privacy & storage › Share anonymous usage data. Turning it off stops sending at once and deletes anything not yet sent.

• Collected: counts, durations, ranges and on/off states, for example how often you dictate, which features and settings you use, setup steps, update checks, permission states, error categories, Blurt’s own CPU and memory use, and your app version, macOS major version, chip family, memory range and system language.
• Never collected: audio, transcripts, notes, meeting content, clipboard contents, Dictionary words, keys, file names, app or window names, your Mac’s name, your username, your email or your account.
• Anonymous: events use a random ID that is not linked to your account, and we do not store your IP address.
• Kept for 13 months, then deleted.

The full list is on the privacy page and in the app under Settings › Privacy & storage › “See what’s sent”.

Acceptable use

Use Blurt lawfully and fairly. You must not:

• record or transcribe people without a consent or notice the law requires;
• use Blurt to harass, defraud, threaten or deceive anyone, or to create unlawful content;
• break, probe or get around Blurt’s security, rate limits, access controls or invite system, or help someone else do so;
• overload, scrape or attack Blurt’s servers, or use Blurt Cloud for a purpose other than your own dictation and writing;
• resell or share your account or invite, or use someone else’s;
• use Blurt’s output to make a decision with legal or similarly significant effect on a person without a human reviewing it.

We may limit, suspend or end access if you break these rules or put Blurt or other people at risk.

Third-party services

Blurt can connect to services run by others, such as speech, writing and voice providers, Google sign-in, Apple sign-in, Stripe and Resend. We do not control them and are not responsible for them. Their own terms and privacy policies apply to what you send them.

Subscriptions and payments

• Plans. Some features need a paid plan. Plans are billed monthly or yearly, and the price and period are shown before you pay.
• Automatic renewal. A paid plan renews automatically for the same period until you cancel. We charge the payment method you gave us at each renewal.
• Cancel any time. Open Billing in the Blurt app, or the Stripe customer portal it links to, and cancel. Cancelling stops the next renewal. You keep paid features until the end of the period you already paid for.
• Refunds. Payments are not refundable once a billing period has started, except where the law requires it. If you were charged by mistake or had a problem you could not resolve, email us within 14 days of the charge and we will review it in good faith.
• Taxes. Applicable taxes, such as sales tax or VAT, are added at checkout.
• Payment processing. Payments are handled by Stripe and any other payment processor shown at checkout. We do not receive or store your full card number.
• Price changes. If we change a price, we will tell you in advance and the new price applies from your next renewal. You can cancel before then.

Licence and open source

The Blurt app’s source code is MIT-licensed, and that licence covers the code. These terms cover your use of the Blurt service, the signed app we distribute, your account, Blurt Cloud and paid plans. The Blurt name and logo are not licensed by the MIT licence.

Ending your use

You can stop using Blurt at any time by quitting and deleting the app, and you can ask us to delete your account (see the Privacy Policy). We may suspend or end your access if you break these terms, if the law requires it, or if we stop offering Blurt. If we end a paid plan without a reason you caused, we will refund the unused part of what you prepaid. Sections that are meant to last, such as the disclaimers, the limit on liability, the indemnity and the governing law, continue after your access ends.

No warranty

Blurt is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. That includes any promise that Blurt will be accurate, uninterrupted, error-free, secure or free of harmful code, or that it fits a particular purpose, and the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a purpose and non-infringement. Some places do not allow some of these exclusions, so they apply only as far as the law allows.

Limitation of liability

To the extent the law allows, Team Nebula and the people who work for it are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, lost opportunities or harm that comes from AI output, from something you recorded or dictated, from a third-party service, or from someone gaining access to your device or account. Our total liability to you for any claim about Blurt will be no more than the greater of the amount you paid Team Nebula for Blurt in the 12 months before the event that caused the claim, and US$100. These limits do not remove liability that the law does not allow to be limited, such as for fraud or for death or personal injury caused by negligence.

Indemnity

You will indemnify Team Nebula and the people who work for it, which means defending and reimbursing them, against claims, losses and costs (including reasonable legal fees) that come from your content, from how you use Blurt, from your breach of these terms, or from your breach of a law or someone’s rights, including recording or dictating about people without a consent the law requires. This does not apply to the extent a claim is caused by Team Nebula’s own breach of these terms.

Governing law and disputes

[Team Nebula to complete before public launch: the governing law, the courts or venue, and any dispute process. This placeholder is intentionally empty until the company’s details are confirmed.]

Before either of us starts a formal dispute, please email us at the address below and give us a chance to put it right.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. Each version has a version number and an effective date at the top of this page. When a change is material, Blurt will ask you to read and accept the new version before you keep using it, and we will say so in release information. Changes do not apply to anything that happened before they took effect. If you do not accept a new version, stop using Blurt and cancel any paid plan.

General

These terms and the Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between you and Team Nebula about Blurt. If a part of them cannot be enforced, the rest still applies. If we do not enforce a term, that does not waive it. You may not transfer your rights under these terms; Team Nebula may transfer its own to a successor.
