Terms of Service
Playist · Last updated: September 25, 2026
These terms cover your use of Playist, including the iPhone app, the Apple TV app, the Share extension, and the browser extension. Playist is made by Irfan Bhanji, an independent developer ("we", "us"). By using Playist, you agree to these terms. We've kept them in plain English.
Your account
- You need to be at least 13 to use Playist. If your country requires parental consent at an older age, you need that consent.
- You sign in on iPhone with Sign in with Apple, and sign in to Apple TV by approving it from your iPhone. Keep your Apple ID and your iPhone secure, because they are how you access Playist.
- One account per person. You are responsible for what happens in your account.
What Playist does
Playist lets you follow YouTube creators, save videos to watch later, organize them by topic, and watch them on iPhone and Apple TV, with your library synced between your devices.
Playist and YouTube
- Playist is an independent app. It is not made, endorsed, or sponsored by YouTube or Google.
- Playist uses YouTube API Services. By using Playist, you agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service. YouTube's handling of your data is covered by the Google Privacy Policy.
- Videos, thumbnails, and channel information belong to their creators and YouTube. Playist does not host, download, or redistribute video content. Videos play through YouTube's official player or the YouTube app, with YouTube's ads and features intact.
- If YouTube changes or restricts what its services offer, some Playist features may change or stop working.
Fair use of Playist
Please don't:
- use Playist to break the law or anyone else's rights;
- try to get around YouTube's own rules, such as by blocking its ads or downloading videos;
- scrape, overload, or interfere with Playist or its servers, or try to access other people's accounts; or
- copy, resell, or reverse engineer Playist, except where the law allows it.
Your data
Your library and viewing activity are yours. We use them only to run Playist, as described in our Privacy Policy. You can delete your account and all synced data at any time from Profile → Delete Account.
Paid features
Playist is currently free. If we add paid features, you will buy them through Apple's App Store, and Apple's terms and refund policies will apply. We will tell you the price before you buy.
Apple
These terms are between you and us, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for Playist or its content, or for providing support or maintenance. Your use of Playist on Apple devices must also follow the App Store's Usage Rules. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them against you.
No guarantees
Playist is provided "as is". It is a small, independent project, and we can't promise that it will always be available, error-free, or that every video or creator will load correctly. We may change, pause, or discontinue features, or Playist itself, at any time.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for any indirect or consequential loss, or for loss of data, arising from your use of Playist. Our total liability to you is limited to the amount you paid us for Playist in the 12 months before the claim, or US$50 if you have paid nothing. Nothing in these terms limits any rights you have under consumer protection laws that cannot be waived.
Ending your use
You can stop using Playist and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or close accounts that break these terms or harm the service, and will tell you when we reasonably can.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. We will change the date at the top, and if a change is significant, we will tell you in the app first. If you keep using Playist after the changes take effect, you accept them.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, United States, except where your local consumer protection law gives you rights that cannot be waived.
