Terms of Service

Tiny Skies · Snizyx Software LLC · Last updated November 4, 2026

These terms are an agreement between you and Snizyx Software LLC (“we”, “us”), the maker of Tiny Skies. They cover the Tiny Skies apps for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Android, the online service the apps use to draw and share scenes (the “Tiny Skies service”), and this website. By using Tiny Skies you agree to these terms and to the community rules, and the privacy policy explains how we handle data. If you don’t agree, please don’t use Tiny Skies.

1. What Tiny Skies is

Tiny Skies shows the weather for the cities you choose, from Apple Weather, as an isometric miniature diorama. The dioramas (“scenes”) are images drawn by AI image services. A scene drawn through the Tiny Skies service is shared with everyone who uses Tiny Skies (a “community scene”), and the first person to draw a city founds it.

Tiny Skies is free to use, including its widgets, every community scene of the cities you follow and one AI scene of your own. Tiny Skies Plus, an optional subscription, adds scene credits and other features. The Mac app shows scenes but doesn’t draw them: drawing, founding cities and buying Tiny Skies Plus happen in the iPhone, iPad and Android apps.

2. Age

Tiny Skies is intended for adults. You must be 18 or older, or the age of majority where you live if that is higher, to turn on AI scenes and to use the features that rely on them: drawing scenes, Animate, private redraws, and founding or naming a city. The AI image services we use require their users to be adults, and the app asks you to confirm your age before it turns these features on. Please don’t confirm that you are 18 or older if you aren’t.

If you are under 18, you may use Tiny Skies’ other features, such as the weather and the built-in artwork, only with the permission of a parent or guardian, who agrees to these terms for you.

3. The Tiny Skies service

• It can change. We work to keep Tiny Skies running well, but we may add, change or remove features, art styles and limits, and the service may sometimes be slow or unavailable. We may stop offering Tiny Skies or parts of it. If we shut the service down, we will say so in the app or on this website in advance where we reasonably can.
• Drawing has limits. Drawing a scene takes time and costs us money, so the service limits how much can be drawn: one free scene, monthly credits for Tiny Skies Plus, and daily limits for everyone, which reset at midnight UTC. A scene can occasionally fail to draw.
• Your device and connection. Tiny Skies needs a compatible device and an internet connection for the weather and for scenes. Your mobile carrier’s data charges apply.

4. AI-generated scenes

Scenes are made automatically by third-party AI image services, Google’s Gemini models and fal.ai, from a description of a city and its weather. They are artistic impressions, not pictures of real places: landmarks may be missing, misplaced or invented, and a scene may not match the weather outside. We check new scenes automatically and review the ones people report, but a scene can still contain mistakes or something you find objectionable. If it does, please report it from the city screen.

We don’t claim ownership of scenes as against you, and images made by AI may not be protected by copyright at all. You may view scenes in Tiny Skies and share them, for example with the app’s share card, for personal, non-commercial purposes. Please don’t sell scenes or use them in a way that suggests we endorse you.

5. Community scenes, founding and founder names

• Community scenes are public. A scene drawn through the Tiny Skies service is shared with everyone who views the same city, and you receive the scenes others draw. Private redraws, a Tiny Skies Plus feature, are never shared.
• Permission to share. To the extent you have any rights in a scene drawn through the service, or in a founder name you set, you give us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, copy, display and distribute it as part of Tiny Skies, and to let our service providers do so for us, for as long as Tiny Skies operates. You can ask us to remove your founder name, or a scene you shared, at any time, as the privacy policy describes.
• Founder names are public and must follow the community rules. You are responsible for the name you choose. It doesn’t need to be your real name, so choose one you are happy for anyone to see.
• Moderation. We may refuse, hide or remove a founder name, withdraw a scene, and stop an installation or a subscription from naming cities or sharing scenes, when we believe it breaks these terms or the community rules, or to protect people or the service. Reports are handled as the community rules describe.
• Founding isn’t ownership. Founding or claiming a city shows your founder name, or “founded by a free explorer”, with that city in Tiny Skies. It gives you no rights in the city, its scenes or the name beyond that, and a city founded without a subscription can be claimed by a Tiny Skies Plus member as the app describes. We may change how founding works.

6. Tiny Skies Plus

• Who sells it. Tiny Skies Plus is an auto-renewable subscription, monthly or yearly, sold through Apple’s App Store or Google Play. The store shows the price in your currency and handles the payment, renewals, cancellation and refunds under its own terms. We never receive your payment details.
• Renewing and cancelling. The subscription renews automatically at the end of each period unless you cancel it in your App Store or Google Play subscription settings before the period ends; in the App Store, at least 24 hours before. After you cancel, Tiny Skies Plus stays active until the end of the period you paid for. Refunds are requested from Apple or Google under their policies.
• What it includes. At present, 10 scene credits a month, which reset on the 1st of each month (UTC). Drawing a scene costs 1 credit, and a new city’s first view also draws its base scene; an animated loop costs 3. Credits not used by the end of a month don’t carry over, can’t be transferred and have no cash value. Tiny Skies Plus also lets you redraw a scene privately, put your name on the cities you found, and claim cities founded by free explorers.
• Changes. We may change what Tiny Skies Plus includes. If a change materially reduces it, we will tell you in the app or on this website before it takes effect, and you can cancel. Price changes follow the App Store’s and Google Play’s rules, which require them to tell you and, where needed, to ask for your consent.
• Where it applies. A subscription bought in the App Store covers Tiny Skies on iPhone, iPad and Mac with the same Apple Account. One bought on Google Play covers Tiny Skies for Android.

7. Using Tiny Skies fairly

When you use Tiny Skies, you agree not to:

• break the law or the community rules, or help anyone else do so;
• use the Tiny Skies service other than through our apps, for example by sending requests to its servers yourself, or by scripting, scraping or bulk-downloading community scenes;
• get around, interfere with or overload the service, including its device checks, credits and limits;
• copy, decompile or reverse engineer the apps, except where the law allows it;
• misstate your age or pretend to be someone else;
• use Tiny Skies, its scenes or its data to build or train a competing product or an AI model.

8. Weather information

Weather comes from Apple Weather (data sources). Forecasts can be wrong, late or unavailable, and scenes show the weather only as an illustration. Tiny Skies is for information and enjoyment: don’t rely on it for decisions about safety, health, property or travel. For warnings and emergencies, follow your national weather service and local authorities.

9. Other companies’ services

Tiny Skies relies on services from other companies, including Apple (Apple Weather, the App Store and, for Android, Apple Maps), Google (Gemini models and Google Play), fal.ai, Cloudflare and, if you allow usage statistics, Mixpanel. The privacy policy describes what each one receives. Their services are governed by their own terms, and we aren’t responsible for them.

10. App stores

Apple. If you got Tiny Skies from Apple’s App Store, Apple’s Licensed Application End User License Agreement (the “Apple EULA”) governs your license to use the app. These terms govern the Tiny Skies service and apply together with it; if they conflict about your license to the app, the Apple EULA prevails. You and we also agree that:

• these terms are between you and us, not Apple, and we, not Apple, are responsible for Tiny Skies and its content;
• Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for Tiny Skies;
• if Tiny Skies fails to conform to an applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price for the app, if any; to the maximum extent the law allows, Apple has no other warranty obligation for it;
• Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims by you or a third party relating to Tiny Skies, including product liability claims, claims that it fails to meet a legal or regulatory requirement, and claims under consumer protection or similar laws;
• Apple is not responsible for investigating, defending, settling or discharging a third party’s claim that Tiny Skies infringes their intellectual property rights;
• you represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country, and that you are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties;
• Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms, and once you accept them, Apple may enforce them against you.

Google Play. If you got Tiny Skies from Google Play, Google Play’s terms of service also apply. Google is not a party to these terms.

11. Our rights in Tiny Skies

The Tiny Skies apps, this website, the service, the built-in artwork, and the Tiny Skies name and icon belong to us or our licensors. Subject to these terms and, for the App Store, the Apple EULA, we give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the apps on devices you own or control, for your own non-commercial use. Open-source components included in the apps remain under their own licenses. If you send us ideas or suggestions, we may use them without any obligation to you.

12. Disclaimers

Tiny Skies is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the fullest extent the law allows, we make no warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy and non-infringement, and we don’t promise that Tiny Skies, its weather information or its scenes will be accurate, uninterrupted, secure or free of errors.

Some places don’t allow these exclusions. There, they apply only as far as the law allows.

13. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, Snizyx Software LLC and its owners, employees and suppliers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data or goodwill, arising from or related to Tiny Skies or these terms, even if we were told they were possible. Our total liability for all claims related to Tiny Skies is limited to the greater of the amount you paid for Tiny Skies Plus in the 12 months before the claim arose, and US$50.

These limits don’t apply to liability that the law doesn’t allow us to limit, such as for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or for fraud.

14. Responsibility for your conduct

To the extent the law allows, you agree to indemnify Snizyx Software LLC, which means covering its losses and costs, including reasonable legal fees, for claims made by others that arise from a founder name you set, or from your breach of these terms or of the law.

15. Ending your use

You can stop using Tiny Skies at any time by deleting the app. Cancel Tiny Skies Plus in your App Store or Google Play settings first: deleting the app doesn’t cancel it. We may suspend or end your use of the Tiny Skies service, or of parts of it such as naming cities, if you break these terms or the community rules, if the law requires it, or to protect people or the service. Sections 4, 5 and 11 to 18 continue to apply after your use ends.

16. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as Tiny Skies changes. We will post the new version on this page with a new date and, if a change is significant, tell you in the app or on this website before it takes effect. If you keep using Tiny Skies after a change takes effect, you accept the updated terms. If you don’t agree, stop using Tiny Skies and cancel Tiny Skies Plus.

17. Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Tennessee, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. If you have a concern, please email us first: most problems can be solved that way, and we will try to resolve it within 30 days. If we can’t, any legal action relating to Tiny Skies or these terms must be brought in the state courts located in Davidson County, Tennessee, or in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee, and you and we consent to their jurisdiction.

If you are a consumer living in the European Union, the United Kingdom or another country whose laws give you rights that can’t be changed by contract, nothing in these terms limits those rights, and you may bring a claim in the courts where you live.

18. General

• These terms, the community rules, the privacy policy and, where it applies, the Apple EULA are the whole agreement between you and us about Tiny Skies.
• If any part of these terms can’t be enforced, the rest still applies.
• If we don’t enforce a part of these terms right away, we can still enforce it later.
• You may not transfer your rights under these terms to anyone else. We may transfer ours, for example if Tiny Skies is sold or reorganized, and these terms will continue to apply.
• We aren’t responsible for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
