Terms of Use

Effective March 1, 2026 · Last updated February 15, 2026


Warren is built and operated by dsire inc. ("we," "us," "our"), based in Dunsmuir, California. These terms govern your use of Warren. By creating an account, you agree to them.

We've written these in plain language. Your lawyer may want to review them anyway — that's fine, we'd do the same.

What Warren is

Warren is a time tracking and business management tool for freelancers and independent professionals. Right now, Warren offers time tracking, client and project management, task management, and time report exports. More features are coming.

Warren is currently in beta. That means things may change, break, or be added without much notice. We'll do our best to communicate changes, but part of using Warren early means accepting that it's a work in progress.

Your account

You need an account to use Warren. You can sign up with Google, GitHub, or email.

You're responsible for keeping your login credentials secure. If you think someone else has accessed your account, let us know immediately at support@runwarren.com.

One person, one account. Don't share accounts. When we add team features later, there will be a proper way to collaborate.

Your data

You own your data. The clients, projects, tasks, and time entries you put into Warren belong to you. We don't claim any ownership or license over your content.

You can export your data at any time using Warren's built-in export tools. If you want to leave, you take your data with you. We think that's how it should work.

We store and handle your data as described in our Privacy Policy. The short version: we use it to run Warren, we don't sell it, and we don't do anything creepy with it.

What you can do

Use Warren for your legitimate business purposes. That's what it's built for.

  • Track time, manage clients and projects, create tasks, and export reports.
  • Use Warren for any lawful business activity.
  • Provide feedback, suggestions, and bug reports (we genuinely appreciate these).

What you can't do

Don't:

  • Use Warren for anything illegal.
  • Attempt to access other users' data or accounts.
  • Reverse-engineer, scrape, or try to extract Warren's source code.
  • Use automated tools to access Warren in ways that degrade the service for others.
  • Resell access to Warren or represent it as your own product.
  • Deliberately try to break, overload, or compromise Warren's infrastructure.

If we believe you're doing any of the above, we may suspend or terminate your account. We'll try to talk to you about it first unless the situation is urgent.

The free tier

Warren Timer is currently free. We mean that — it's not a 14-day trial, and we're not going to yank features away once you depend on them.

When we introduce paid features in the future, the core timer functionality you're using today will remain free. We'll be transparent about what's free and what's paid, and we'll give you plenty of notice before any changes.

We reserve the right to introduce usage limits on the free tier if necessary to keep the service running well for everyone. If we do, we'll communicate clearly about what's changing and why.

Beta disclaimer

Warren is in active development. This means:

  • Things might break. We work hard to prevent this, but bugs happen. We fix them as fast as we can.
  • Features may change. What exists today might look or work differently tomorrow. We'll try to minimize disruption, but the product is evolving.
  • Uptime isn't guaranteed. We aim for reliability, but we're a small team and can't promise 99.99% uptime. We don't have an SLA right now.

Please don't rely on Warren as your only record of important business data during beta. Export your time reports regularly. We'd give you the same advice about any tool, but especially one that's this early.

Limitation of liability

We built Warren to be useful and reliable. But we provide it "as is" during this beta period.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, dsire inc. is not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of Warren. This includes (but isn't limited to) lost data, lost revenue, or business interruption.

Our total liability for any claim related to Warren is limited to the amount you've paid us in the twelve months before the claim. Since Warren is currently free, that amount is zero — which is another reason we encourage you to export your data regularly.

We know this section sounds like every other terms page you've ever skimmed. Your lawyer will want it here. The spirit of it is: we're doing our best, we stand behind our product, but we're a small company offering a free tool in beta and we need reasonable legal protection.

Termination

You can leave anytime. Export your data, delete your account, walk away. No penalties, no lock-in, no passive-aggressive emails.

We can terminate accounts if you violate these terms, if we're required to by law, or if we discontinue the service. If we terminate your account, we'll give you reasonable notice and the opportunity to export your data, unless the termination is for a serious violation.

If we ever shut down Warren entirely (we don't plan to, but honesty requires acknowledging the possibility), we'll give users significant advance notice and the ability to export everything.

Intellectual property

Warren (the software, design, and brand) belongs to dsire inc. Your use of Warren doesn't grant you any rights to our intellectual property beyond using the service as intended.

Your data, as stated above, belongs to you.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as Warren evolves. If we make meaningful changes, we'll notify you through Warren or by email before they take effect. Continued use after changes take effect means you accept the new terms.

If you disagree with updated terms, you can stop using Warren and export your data. We'd rather lose a user than trap one.

The current version is always available at runwarren.com/terms.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, United States. Any disputes will be resolved in the courts of Siskiyou County, California.

We'd rather be building Warren than writing legal documents. But if we're going to have terms, they should be ones we're proud of — honest, readable, and fair. If something here doesn't feel right, tell us.
