About Sesami

Sesami is a recipe organizer for saving recipes, importing recipes from websites, links, shared content, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, images, PDFs, and text, creating cookbooks, building grocery lists, planning meals, and keeping a food journal with calorie and nutrient tracking, nutrition goals, and weight history. Sesami is currently distributed through the Apple App Store in the United States.

Accounts and Your Responsibility

You are responsible for the information and content in your Sesami account, for keeping access to your device and account secure, and for activity that happens through your account. Sesami supports guest accounts and email-based accounts. Guest access may be more limited or easier to lose if you change devices, delete local data, or lose the session.

Sesami is not intended for children under 13. Do not use Sesami if you are not old enough to use the app under applicable law.

Your Content

You keep ownership of recipes, images, notes, cookbooks, tags, grocery lists, meal plans, food journal entries, meal photos, weight records, goal information, and other content you create, upload, save, or import into Sesami.

You grant Sesami a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, copy, process, parse, format, display, and modify your content only as needed to operate, maintain, protect, and improve Sesami and provide the features you request. This license ends when your content is deleted, except where retention is needed for backups, logs, security, legal, support, or billing records.

Imported and Third-Party Content

Sesami can help import recipes or recipe-like content from third-party websites and platforms, including Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, when you choose to share, paste, upload, or otherwise provide that content. You are responsible for making sure you have the right to import, save, use, edit, and share any content you provide to Sesami.

Using Sesami does not give you ownership of third-party content or permission to violate copyright, privacy rights, platform rules, or other third-party terms. Sesami is not responsible for third-party websites, platform availability, private or blocked content, removed content, or changes made by those third parties.

AI-Assisted Recipe Parsing

Sesami uses AI-assisted and automated parsing to turn links, webpages, shared content, YouTube descriptions or transcripts, images, PDFs, and text into editable recipes. These results may be incomplete, incorrect, or misleading.

Always review imported or generated recipes before relying on them. You are responsible for verifying ingredients, allergens, substitutions, nutrition, serving sizes, cooking times, temperatures, storage, doneness, food safety, and whether a recipe is suitable for your dietary, medical, or personal needs. Sesami does not provide medical, nutrition, food-safety, or professional cooking advice.

Food Journal, Calorie Tracking, and Nutrition Goals

Sesami lets you log food using descriptions, meal photos, or saved recipes, review and edit nutrition values, track weight, and set calorie and macronutrient goals. AI can describe food in photos and estimate nutrition from descriptions. Recipe-based entries use the recipe's nutrition and the servings you record. Daily totals and progress depend on the entries and values available and may be incomplete.

These features support general wellness and personal tracking. Food recognition, portions, calorie and nutrient estimates, and suggested goals may be inaccurate or unsuitable for your needs. Review and correct results before relying on them. Calculated goals use formulas and the profile information you provide; the current calculator is designed for adults aged 19 and over and does not assess your medical circumstances.

Sesami does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or individualized professional dietary advice. Do not use these features as a substitute for advice from a qualified healthcare professional or to make medication or treatment decisions. Consult a qualified professional about dietary or weight goals that depend on your health needs. Sesami does not guarantee weight changes or health outcomes.

Subscriptions and Premium Features

Some Sesami features may require Sesami Premium, a subscription, or available free trial usage. Premium features may include recipe imports, meal-plan generation, AI food recognition and nutrition estimation, cloud sync, or other features shown in the app.

Sesami subscriptions and in-app purchases are offered through the Apple App Store. RevenueCat helps Sesami present paywalls, manage customer center flows, verify subscription status, and unlock premium access. Prices, billing periods, trial details, and renewal terms are shown in the app before purchase.

Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled through your Apple ID or Apple App Store account settings before the current billing period ends. Deleting Sesami or deleting your Sesami account does not cancel an active subscription. Refund requests and payment issues are handled by Apple according to Apple's rules.

Acceptable Use

You agree not to misuse Sesami. For example, you may not:

• use Sesami for unlawful, harmful, deceptive, or abusive activity;
• upload, import, save, or share content that you do not have the right to use;
• infringe intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or other rights;
• interfere with Sesami systems, security, rate limits, subscriptions, or access controls;

External Links and Services

Sesami may open, link to, request content from, or rely on third-party websites, platforms, app-store services, AI providers, hosting providers, payment and subscription services, analytics, crash reporting, and other service providers. Sesami does not control those third parties and is not responsible for their content, policies, availability, security, fees, or changes.

Account Deletion and Termination

You can request account deletion in the app by opening Settings, selecting Account, and choosing Delete Account. Account deletion is intended to delete your Sesami account and cloud data, including saved recipes, recipe images, cookbooks, tags, grocery data, meal-plan data, food journal entries and photos, weight records, nutrition goals and their saved calculation inputs, and premium trial usage data. Some records may remain where needed for security, legal, support, billing, operational logs, or backup purposes.
