These terms of use ("Terms") cover the Small Mornings app (iOS and Android; package name com.erntpck.bebek), the Small Mornings server the app connects to (api.smallmornings.com) and this website. Together we call them the "Service".
The Service is provided by Eren Tepecik ("we"), an independent developer based in Türkiye. obatay is the brand name Eren Tepecik uses for his apps; it is not a separate company. Eren Tepecik is also the data controller for your personal data; how data is processed is explained in the privacy policy. If these Terms and the privacy policy conflict, the privacy policy prevails on data processing and these Terms prevail on everything else.
By installing or using the app you accept these Terms. If you do not accept them, please do not use the app. The Service is for parents and caregivers and is not directed to children under 13. To buy a Plus subscription you must have the legal capacity to enter into a contract in your country (or your guardian's consent). You enter your child's information as their legal guardian; the app is not designed for children to use themselves.
If you downloaded the app from the Apple App Store, Apple's standard end user licence agreement also applies (section 10). These Terms apply in addition to that agreement and to the extent they do not conflict with it.
Small Mornings is a local-first app for keeping your baby's and your own daily records (feeding, sleep, diapers, growth, development, vaccinations, medications, checkups, appointments, maternal health) on your phone, setting reminders and reading general information cards. It needs no account; your records stay on your phone.
The info cards, stage descriptions, averages, percentile charts, vaccination and checkup schedule and assistant replies in the app are for general information only; they do not replace medical advice, diagnosis or treatment and do not create a doctor-patient relationship. Consult your doctor for every decision about your child's or your own health. The app is not a medical device and is not designed to be classified as one. The EPDS test is a screening tool and does not diagnose; whatever the result, if you are not feeling well, see a health professional.
In an emergency do not use the app: call 112 (or your local emergency number) or go to the nearest emergency department. The emergency guide in the app gives general information on what to do until help arrives; it does not replace professional help.
The schedule is compiled from the National Childhood Immunisation Schedule and follow-up programmes of the Turkish Ministry of Health; the source date is shown in the app. When the Ministry changes the schedule, the version in the app may lag behind. For the timing of vaccinations and checkups, what your family doctor or paediatrician says always prevails.
Reminders are scheduled locally on your phone and depend on your phone's settings, battery management, notification permission and the state of your subscription (section 5). Do not rely on the app alone for a critical medication, vaccination or appointment; note important dates separately as well.
The following need no subscription and always stay free:
We do not plan to narrow the free features. If we ever decide to change this list, we will give advance notice under section 11; your right to view, back up and delete your existing records stays free in every case.
Small Mornings Plus ("Plus") is an auto-renewing subscription that unlocks the app's other tools. Plus includes: marking vaccinations and vaccination reminders; doctor checkups and their reminders; medications and dose reminders; feeding, sleep and diaper logging, timers, the home screen quick actions and the "last / next" card; growth measurements and percentiles; milestones, stage cards, teeth and the weekly plan; info notifications (weekly tip and summary, a short mom check-in); the AI assistant; every mom module other than EPDS; baby and mom appointments; to-dos and the shopping list. The scope of Plus is shown in the app and in the product description on the App Store.
There are two plans: yearly (smallmornings.plus.yearly) and monthly (smallmornings.plus.monthly). Both unlock the same Plus features; only the period and the price differ. Prices are set in local currency according to your country and App Store storefront; the current price including taxes is shown before purchase on the subscription screen in the app and in the App Store. We do not print prices on this page; the price shown by Apple at the moment of purchase is the one that applies.
Both the yearly and the monthly plan come with a 7-day free trial. During the trial every Plus feature is open and nothing is charged. Unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends, the trial converts into the paid subscription of the plan you chose and the first period is charged to your Apple Account. If you cancel the trial, Plus stays open until the last day of the trial and then moves to the state described in section 5.
Under Apple's rules the trial is available once per subscription group and per Apple Account. If you have used a Small Mornings Plus trial before, or Apple does not consider you eligible, no trial is offered; the app then shows the paid option directly instead of a trial and the charge is taken as soon as you confirm the purchase. Before the trial ends (on day 5) the app shows you a notification and an in-app notice; if you have not granted notification permission you see only the in-app notice. This reminder is a courtesy; cancelling remains your responsibility.
The subscription renews automatically for the same period and at the price then in force unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; the renewal charge is taken from your Apple Account within the 24 hours before the period ends. On the yearly plan the app shows a notification about 7 days before renewal reminding you of the renewal date (if you have granted notification permission).
You can cancel at any time. Cancellation is not done inside the app; it is done in Apple's subscription settings: on iPhone under Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions, or at apps.apple.com/account/subscriptions. The "Manage subscription" button in the app takes you to that screen. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current period; Plus stays open until then and the remaining time is not refunded (for refunds see 4.5). Deleting the app from your phone does not cancel the subscription.
The purchase is made through the Apple App Store with the payment method linked to your Apple Account. Apple is the merchant of record: Apple issues the invoice, takes the payment and applies taxes. Your card or bank details never reach us; we only learn the state of the subscription (active, trial, ended, renewal date, plan). Purchases are processed through RevenueCat, Inc. to verify the subscription state; details are in section 5.5 of the privacy policy.
If a renewal payment cannot be taken (for example because the card has expired), Apple retries the payment for a while and informs you. While Apple's billing grace period applies, your Plus access may continue; the app then shows a notice asking you to update your payment details. If the payment still fails within the grace period, the subscription ends and section 5 applies. When the payment succeeds again, the subscription continues where it left off.
Whether Plus can be shared through Apple Family Sharing is shown on the product page in the App Store.
Because the purchase is made with Apple, refund requests are made to Apple and assessed under Apple's refund rules: reportaproblem.apple.com. We cannot issue refunds, cannot decide on them and cannot change Apple's decision. If Apple issues a refund, Plus access ends from the date Apple reports to us.
As a consumer, your rights under the Turkish Consumer Protection Law No. 6502 and the Regulation on Distance Contracts remain unaffected. Plus is digital content and a service whose performance begins as soon as you confirm the purchase; under Article 15 of that Regulation, the right of withdrawal may not be available for digital content whose performance began with your consent and for services performed immediately. This does not affect Apple's own refund policy or your rights under mandatory consumer law.
We may change the price. A price increase affecting your existing subscription is applied under Apple's rules: Apple informs you before the renewal and, where Apple requires it, asks you to agree to the new price; if you do not agree, the subscription ends at the end of the current period. Price decreases apply automatically at the next renewal.
The subscription is tied to the Apple Account you purchased with. When you install the app on a new phone, or reinstall it after deleting it, the "Restore purchases" button on the subscription screen or in Profile reopens your subscription under the same Apple Account. Restoring does not bring back your records; the records live on your phone and move only with a backup you made yourself (section 7).
If you see an "awaiting approval" state during purchase (for example when Ask to Buy is on in Family Sharing), Plus unlocks automatically after the approval in Apple's systems.
When the trial or subscription ends (cancellation, failed payment, refund, or a trial that did not convert into a paid subscription):
When you subscribe again or restore the subscription, everything opens again where it left off.
The app learns that the subscription has ended from Apple. When there is no internet connection or no answer from Apple, the app keeps the last known state for a short time (at most 72 hours); during that time your reminders are not cancelled by mistake.
The assistant is a Plus feature and works only after you give the data sharing consent inside the app (privacy policy 5.1). Replies are generated by Anthropic's Claude model.
Message allowance. Use of the assistant is limited. On the effective date of these Terms the allowance is: 30 messages in total during the free trial; 300 messages per calendar month on the paid Plus subscription (renewed at the start of each month; unused messages do not carry over). The current allowance and the remaining count are shown on the chat screen. We may change the allowance to protect fair use and limit cost; a reduction is announced in advance under section 11. The allowance is counted on the server under an anonymous id tied to your subscription; the subscription state is verified server-side and, if it cannot be verified, the assistant may temporarily not reply.
No guarantee. Assistant replies are generated automatically, are not guaranteed to be accurate and may be wrong, incomplete or out of date; they are not medical advice (section 2). Do not change a medication dose, stop a treatment or postpone a doctor visit on the basis of a reply. The model may refuse to answer some messages. As a server-dependent feature, the assistant may pause temporarily, change or be withdrawn; in that case we do not change the subscription price, but the rest of Plus keeps working.
Fair use. Do not use the assistant with automated tools, in bulk, on behalf of third parties or outside the app's purpose (for example as a general-purpose chatbot). In case of abuse we may restrict the allowance or stop access.
The data you enter belongs to you; we claim no rights over it. Data is kept on your phone; we hold no copy. For that reason backing up is your responsibility: if the phone is lost or reset, the app is uninstalled or the profile is deleted, data without a backup cannot be recovered. You can make a backup from the Profile screen at any time and restore it on another phone; these actions need no subscription.
The subscription state and purchase information are kept apart from your records and are not written into the backup file; on a new phone the subscription comes back with "Restore purchases" and the records come back with the backup file. Which data is kept where, and for how long, is explained in the privacy policy.
You are responsible for the accuracy and currency of what you enter. Use the app only for a child you are the guardian of or care for.
Use the app lawfully and for personal, non-commercial purposes. Do not: reverse engineer, copy, resell or rent the app or the server; try to bypass or deceive the app token, the server or the subscription verification; send automated or excessive requests to the server; use the app to provide a service to third parties. If these rules are breached we may restrict access to the server-dependent features.
The app's name, the Small Mornings and obatay brands, the design, texts, info cards and code belong to Eren Tepecik and are protected by the applicable laws. You receive a non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable licence to use the app in accordance with these Terms. Open-source components included in the app are subject to their own licences.
The app is provided "as is". We do not guarantee that it will be uninterrupted, error-free or compatible with every device; server-dependent features such as the assistant and the vaccination schedule may pause temporarily, change or be withdrawn. We do not guarantee that reminders will always fire, or fire at the exact time.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect damages arising from use of, or inability to use, the app (including data loss, missed appointments, vaccinations or medication doses, and decisions based on incorrect information). Where a paid subscription is involved, our total liability is, to the extent permitted by law, limited to the amount you paid for Plus in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the damage.
These limitations do not remove rights you hold under the Turkish Consumer Protection Law No. 6502 or other mandatory provisions that cannot be waived by contract; liability for intent or gross negligence, and for death or personal injury, remains.
If you downloaded the app from the App Store, Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies. In short: the licence is granted to you by us, not by Apple; Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the app; we, not Apple, are responsible for any claims relating to the app, warranties and intellectual property; Apple and Apple's subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you. If Apple's agreement and these Terms conflict, Apple's agreement prevails on purchase, payment, refund and licence matters.
If you downloaded the app from Google Play, the Google Play terms of service apply. On the effective date of these Terms, Plus can be purchased only on iOS; this section will be updated when the subscription is offered on Android.
These Terms are versioned; each version's number and effective date appear at the top of the page, and earlier versions are listed in the version history below. We may change the Terms. When a material change affects you (for example narrowing the free features, reducing the assistant allowance or narrowing the scope of Plus), we announce it on this page and with a notice inside the app at least 30 days before it takes effect. If you keep using the app after the change, you are deemed to have accepted the new Terms; if you do not accept them, you can cancel your subscription and stop using the app. The price you paid for the current period does not change to your detriment for that period. Typo fixes and small changes made for clarity are recorded only in the version history.
These Terms are governed by the law of the Republic of Türkiye. For consumer disputes, the consumer arbitration committees and consumer courts have jurisdiction according to the monetary thresholds; you may apply to the committee or court of your place of residence or of ours. If a dispute arises, please write to us first; we can resolve most issues directly.
Consumers resident in the European Union or the United Kingdom keep the rights they hold under the mandatory consumer law of their own country and the right to bring proceedings in the courts of their own country. Where local law in another country gives you further rights, those remain unaffected as well.
If a provision of these Terms is held invalid, the other provisions remain in force. These Terms are written in Turkish; this English version is provided for convenience, and if the two texts conflict, the Turkish text prevails for users in Türkiye.

When writing about a subscription issue, including the "Support id" from the Profile screen lets us find your purchase in Apple's and RevenueCat's records; that id contains neither your name nor your e-mail. For refunds and payment problems, Apple is the competent contact (section 4.5).
