Terms of Service
Last updated: October 14, 2026
hum is a small, private app for sharing daily voice memos with friends. It is run by Cal Nightingale and offered as-is for personal, non-commercial use. By using it, you agree to these terms.
Your account
Anyone can create an account by signing in with a phone number and a one-time code texted to it. You're responsible for keeping that phone number secure, since that's how you sign in. If you made your account before hum moved to phone sign-in, sign in with your phone number, and if that doesn't bring up your old account, email the address below and it will be linked to your number. You must be at least 18 to use hum. You can delete your account at any time in Settings.
Your content
You own the voice memos and other content you create. By posting, you grant hum permission to store and display that content to the friends you've connected with, solely to operate the app. Don't post anything illegal, harmful, or that infringes someone else's rights, and only record others with their knowledge.
Acceptable use
Use hum for its intended purpose: sharing updates with people you know. Don't attempt to break, abuse, overload, or reverse-engineer the service.
Objectionable content
hum has zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive users. Don't post or send anything that harasses, bullies, or threatens someone; hate speech or content that attacks people for who they are; sexual content involving minors, or anything that sexualizes or endangers a child; any other illegal content; spam; or content that impersonates someone else. This covers your hums, voice replies, reactions, the prompts you suggest, and your profile.
Blocking and reporting
You can block someone from their profile, or from a friend request they send you. Blocking removes them from your friends, and neither of you can find or add the other until you unblock them. They aren't told. You can also report a hum, a voice reply, or a profile from the app. Reports are reviewed and acted on within 24 hours, which can mean removing the content and terminating the account that posted it.
Termination
We may suspend or delete any account that breaks these terms, along with its content. You can delete your own account at any time in Settings.
No warranty
hum is provided "as is," without warranties of any kind. It's a personal project that may change or go offline at any time, and we don't guarantee it will be available, error-free, or that content will be retained. To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any damages arising from your use of the app.
Changes
We may update these terms as the app evolves. Continued use after a change means you accept the updated terms.
