Termsy got a serious UPGRADE (v0.0.5 → v0.1.7)
I've been trying to make Termsy as useful as possible since the day we launched.
And Termsy is fundamentally and significantly better now. Here's why:
Higher Accuracy: Rebuilt from the ground up with a smarter algorithm. To be honest, looking back, I feel a little embarrassed by the old algorithm. It threw up way too many false positives and wasn't trained on enough real-world data. Over the last few weeks, I've been analyzing 200-300 ToS pages across categories to find patterns to improve the accuracy. I've been actively improving the algorithm, so it's only going to get better in the newer versions.
Introducing Proactive Nudges: To catch the fine print early. Two things happen now once you encounter a ToS page: 1) The icon in the extension bar lights up 2) A self-dismissing widget pops up that nudges you to investigate. I didn't want you to forget to check Termsy when you need it most. So now, it shows up to give you more clarity so that you don't agree to something blindly.
Introducing Right Click to Investigate: To check the fine print without opening the link. Brands have become smarter, instead of letting you read the agreement, they usually write "By signing up I've read the Privacy Policy and agree to the Terms and Conditions" and link their pages. An already long verbose ToS is now another click away, hidden away. With a simple right click, you can now scan the terms without navigating away from the page. This is an attempt to shift the balance of power slightly back toward the consumer ensuring critical information isn't buried behind pages and long walls of text.
Now needs more permissions: to power all the new features. To do all this, we need more permissions, primarly to show that self dismissing widget and to read the contents of the page you aren't on (for Right Click to Investigate). This means your extension may be turned off. Chrome does this after major updates. So just click the extension bar icon, go to "manage extensions" to re-enable Termsy and unlock the full power of the new version.
Whether you are signing up for a new SaaS tool, downloading an app, or subscribing to a new service, Termsy promises to provide clarity. We don't want digital fatigue to be the reason you make an uninformed choice. Termsy scans the documents in real-time and offers an immediate low-effort way to gain peace of mind.
(Also, we were #2 product of the week for user experience when we launched, so I hope your experience is even better now!)
So, go ahead, download Termsy today!
