Terms

Lyra is operated by one individual, not by a company. There is no registered entity behind it, no office and no support contract. The one channel is hello@lyracal.com, and it is read by the person who wrote the code.

An account belongs to one person. Sign-in is a one-time link sent to your email address, or Google — which means your email account is the key to your calendar. Keep it secure. Anything done through your account is treated as done by you.

If you connect an outside calendar — Google, Apple, or a subscription link — that service is yours, not Lyra’s. You are responsible for having the right to connect it and for the credentials you give Lyra to do so, and you can withdraw either at any time, from Lyra or from the service itself. Lyra only ever reads those calendars; it never writes to them. What the other service does, and whether it keeps working, is between you and them.

• Use Lyra’s invitations to send mail to people who have not agreed to hear from you. Guest invitations are for actual guests, not for a list.
• Try to reach anyone else’s data, or to break, overload or probe the service.
• Scrape it, resell it, or run it as a service for other people without asking.
• Use it for anything unlawful, or to harass anyone.

Email is the part that can be abused to reach strangers, so it is the part that is watched. An account that mailbombs people will be suspended without much ceremony.

Your events, your notes and your guest lists belong to you. Lyra is given only what it needs to run: to store them, show them to you, write your daily briefing, and send the email you asked to have sent. Nothing is published, sold or used for advertising, and the operator does not read your calendar except where a specific problem you have reported requires it.

There is no uptime commitment, on the free plan or the paid one. Reminders and invitations are queued and delivered on a best-effort basis: a delivery provider outage, a spam filter, or a bug can make an email late or make it not arrive at all. Lyra keeps a record of every attempt so the question can be answered afterwards, but it cannot guarantee the answer is “delivered”.

So: do not use Lyra as the only alarm for a flight, a medication or a court date. It is a calm calendar, not a safety system.

Nearly all of Lyra is free and stays free: every view, unlimited events and calendars, labels, memos, repeating events, as many reminders as you like, guests and RSVPs, search, and the daily briefing read aloud in your own device’s voice.

One thing is paid. Premium replaces that device voice with a natural one, generated fresh each morning. It costs $4.99 a month or $49 a year. That is the whole of what a subscription buys — no extra storage, no extra calendars, nothing removed from the free plan to make room for it.

• Payment goes through Stripe. You subscribe on a page Stripe runs. Lyra never sees or stores your card. By subscribing you are authorising Stripe to charge that card for Lyra, on the interval you chose, until you stop it.
• It renews on its own. A monthly plan renews every month and a yearly plan every year, at the price you signed up at, until it is cancelled.
• You cancel it yourself. The billing portal is linked from Settings; it is Stripe’s own page, and cancelling there takes effect without asking anyone. No email, no form, no retention call.
• Cancelling does not cut you off that day. Premium runs to the end of the period you have already paid for, and then the briefing goes back to your device’s voice. Nothing on your calendar changes and nothing is deleted.
• A failed payment is not an instant cut-off either. If a card expires or a charge fails, premium keeps working for 14 days while Stripe retries and you get a chance to fix it. After that it reverts to free.
• If the price changes, it changes for new subscriptions first. You will be told before a change affects what you are already paying, and you can cancel rather than accept it.

Refunds. There is no published refund policy yet. If something went wrong — a charge you did not expect, a feature that did not work, a renewal you meant to cancel — write to hello@lyracal.com and it will be dealt with by a person. Where the law where you live gives you a right to a refund or to withdraw from the purchase, that right applies whatever this page says.

You can stop using Lyra at any time, and you can delete your account yourself in Settings — or by writing to hello@lyracal.comif you would rather. Deletion removes your calendars, your events, your memos, your guests’ answers, your reminders, your cached briefings and their audio. What survives is described on the privacy page, and it is counts rather than content.

Deleting the account cancels the subscription. It is cancelled immediately, not at the end of the period you have paid for — an account that no longer exists cannot use the remainder, so deleting mid-month forfeits the rest of that month. The cancellation happens first: if it cannot be done, nothing is deleted and you are asked to try again or to cancel from the billing portal yourself. Until 8 August 2026 this page said the opposite, because the software did the opposite.

The operator may suspend an account that is abusing the service, and may shut Lyra down entirely — in which case you will get notice at your account email address, with enough time to take a copy of your calendar, and any subscription will be cancelled.

Lyra is provided as it is, with no warranty of any kind, express or implied — including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or that it will be uninterrupted or error-free. Paying for the voice does not change that.

To the fullest extent the law allows, the operator is not liable for lost data, a missed event, a reminder that did not arrive, or any indirect or consequential loss. Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to what you actually paid Lyra in the twelve months before the thing you are complaining about — which, for most people, is nothing at all.

None of this takes away rights that the consumer law where you live gives you and does not allow to be waived.

These terms can change. The date at the top changes with them, the list below says what changed, and a change that materially affects you gets a note to your account email address.

These terms are written in English, and no governing law or venue is named here yet — Lyra is operated by an individual, and picking a jurisdiction is one of the things that has to be done properly rather than guessed. Nothing on this page is an attempt to deprive you of the protections of the law where you live.

• 8 August 2026 — deleting an account now cancels the subscription rather than leaving it running, and does so immediately; deletion is self-serve in Settings; the audio of a cached briefing is deleted with it. The paragraph telling you to cancel first is gone, because the software stopped needing it.
• 30 July 2026 — a paid tier exists, so the page now says what it costs, what it buys, how it renews, how to cancel it, and what happens when a payment fails. The old free-today section is gone, along with the liability line that assumed nobody had ever paid anything.
• 25 July 2026 — first version.

hello@lyracal.com — for anything on this page, or anything else.
