使用說明與限制 / Guide & Limitations

• You can use Banri without signing in; your data then stays on this device only.
• Sign in with Google to sync across devices and to use AI, reminders, sharing and widgets.
• Install it as an app: the Banri Android app, or “Add to Home screen” in your browser; on iPhone use Safari → Share → Add to Home Screen.
• Language: at the top of Settings choose Use device setting / 繁體中文 / English.

• Type one sentence in the bar at the bottom, e.g. “Meeting tomorrow 3pm, prep slides the day before”. You can also speak, or take a photo of a poster, letter or screenshot.
• Banri turns it into event / to-do / waiting-on drafts, and nothing is saved until you confirm. Check any field marked as a guess.
• Prefer not to use AI? Open “Manual entry” and fill it in like a normal calendar.
• Repeating events: daily, weekly on chosen days, or monthly on a date, with an end date or a number of times.

Limits: offline or without AI, Banri uses on-device rules (Chinese and English), which understand fewer phrasings. Voice input needs a connection and browser support.

• When you add an event for tomorrow or later, AI suggests things to prepare; only the ones you tick are added (each suggestion uses 1 AI request). The event editor also has “Suggest prep with AI”.
• If prep tasks are still open, you get a check-in reminder 7, 3 and 1 days before and on the day (the same-day one comes at least an hour before the event).
• Both can be turned off in Settings.

Limit: repeating events can’t have prep tasks.

• Go to Settings → Reminders → Turn on, then tap “Send a test notification”. Reminders arrive even when the app is closed and show on the lock screen.
• Defaults: 15 minutes before events, 09:00 on the due date for to-dos and waiting-on items, morning brief at 07:30. Each event can have its own setting.
• Events imported from Google Calendar are included.

• Turn reminders on separately on each device.
• iPhone needs iOS 16.4+ and Banri opened from the Home Screen; Safari tabs can’t receive notifications.
• The Android app needs version 1.1.0 or later.
• The server schedules the next 7 days at a time; if a device hasn’t opened Banri for 21 days, its reminders pause until you open it again.
• Battery saver, Do Not Disturb or your phone’s notification settings may delay or hide notifications. To hide contents on the lock screen, change it in your phone’s notification settings.

• Ask about your schedule or free time, or just say “delete tomorrow’s dentist”, “move the weekly meeting to 3pm”, “I paid the bill”.
• The assistant shows what it will do as cards; nothing happens until you confirm, and you can undo.
• Offline, it can still answer four common questions.

Limits: AI can make mistakes — check each card before confirming. Read-only calendars (shared view-only, or Google Calendar without two-way sync) can’t be changed. The assistant only sees events from 7 days ago to 90 days ahead. Banri asks for your consent before using AI; you can turn AI off in Settings.

• Free: 10 AI requests a day, up to 150 a month.
• Banri Plus: 1,000 a month with no daily limit (monthly or yearly).
• One request = organizing one capture (including photos), one question to the assistant, or one prep suggestion. Failed AI calls aren’t counted.
• Daily counts reset at midnight Taiwan time; monthly counts on the 1st. See your usage in Settings → Plan & AI usage.
• Everything that doesn’t use AI — manual entry, reminders, sync, sharing, offline, widgets — is free.

• Subscribe under Settings → Plan in Banri. Once subscribed, sign in with the same account and your other devices are Plus too.
• To cancel or request a refund, manage it where you paid when you subscribed (Settings → Plan in the app shows where). After cancelling, Plus lasts until the end of the period.
• One subscription can be linked to one Banri account. Usage is counted per Google account, so deleting and recreating your account doesn’t reset the month’s usage.
• When the service is very busy, AI may be temporarily unavailable on the free plan.

• Banri saves to your device first, so you can view, add and edit without a connection. You’ll see “Offline · N to sync”, and changes upload automatically when you’re back online.
• If two devices change the same item, the most recent change wins.

Limits: the first launch needs a connection. AI, voice input, photo recognition and shared-calendar settings need a connection.

• Settings → Google Calendar → Connect, then choose which calendars to show. It’s read-only by default.
• Turn on “Two-way sync” and events you add, edit or delete in Banri are written back to Google.
• Google’s permission lasts about an hour and stays on this device. When it expires, tap “Refresh”; changes made meanwhile wait and are written back after you re-authorize.

• Banri only writes to calendars you can edit.
• Google’s repeating events can be changed or deleted one occurrence at a time; change repeat rules and multi-day events in Google Calendar.
• To-dos, waiting-on items and Banri’s own repeating events aren’t written to Google; they go to your own calendar.
• If both sides change the same event, Google’s version wins.
• Per-event reminder times aren’t synced to Google.

• Shared calendars: invite family or colleagues by email as “Can edit” or “View only”. You can also share a single event with an email address (view only).
• iCal links: import other calendars (e.g. iCloud, Outlook). They refresh every 30 minutes and are read-only.

Limit: the other person must sign in to Banri with a Google account using that same email.

• Android: long-press the home screen → Widgets → Banri, choose “Today” (4×2) or “Next” (4×1), then tap “Link Banri”.
• Privacy mode shows only times and types, not titles or places. Change it or stop all widgets in Settings → Home-screen widget.

Limits: needs the Banri Android app 1.2.0+; there are no widgets on iPhone or the web yet. The widget refreshes about every 30 minutes, or when you tap refresh.

• See the Privacy Policy. You can export a backup (JSON) from Settings at any time.
• Removing your account deletes your cloud data; see How to delete your account and data.
• Banri has no ads and never sells your data.
