Changelog

What changed on CheckTOS, newest first.

• 29 Sep 2026Skill downloads and breakdown opens are counted again. The count had stopped saving after its first entry; each download or open now saves on its own, so none are lost when several land at once.
• 29 Sep 2026The CheckTOS skill now reads insurance policies and employment documents as well as terms of service. It works out which kind of document it has and reads it under that kind's own sections: seven for a policy, from what it covers to how to claim, and eight for an offer letter or contract, from pay and notice to what happens after you leave. Personal documents stay on your own machine.
• 29 Sep 2026The button on the homepage's Peek picture now reads Take A Peek.
• 29 Sep 2026The homepage pipeline chart now draws its input as a page of terms, so on phones it no longer looks like a third button under the two at the top.
• 29 Sep 2026Links to CheckTOS now unfurl with a fresh preview card: the page's headline beside one quoted clause and its plain-language read. Each breakdown page and Peek has its own card, and shared Peek results and skill outputs carry one too.
• 29 Sep 2026Every page now carries the same header, and the homepage puts its title, description and buttons before the pipeline chart. The skill section shows the install as it happens, step by step, in a Claude window.
• 29 Sep 2026Breakdown pages and Peek results are tidier: one button style throughout, a plain contents rail with the current section marked, View Analysis and View Extracted Terms in the masthead, and one skill call-out at the end. A Peek result only shows a product image when the image actually loads.
• 29 Sep 2026The three breakdown cards on the homepage fan out again. A property added for the phone slider had stacked them off centre.
• 29 Sep 2026The homepage pipeline chart is redrawn: extraction and analysis sit at its centre, with the input and the four report headers an equal line away, and each line fills in once, the first time the chart comes into view, instead of looping.
• 28 Sep 2026Every quote in a breakdown now links to its exact sentence in the source document, so one click shows the clause where it sits.
• 28 Sep 2026Peek re-reads a stored breakdown once it is a week old and notes, under the Clarity Meter, which quoted clauses changed since the last read. A Peek result can also be published as a public page; checking the same terms twice gives one page.
• 28 Sep 2026The homepage sets the terms beside CheckTOS's read of them, on a dark section drawn from the fine print itself; on phones a handle wipes between the two. The Clarity Meter walks through its four levels the first time it comes into view.
• 28 Sep 2026Every page now ends on the same dark footer, and the cream panels are gone.
• 28 Sep 2026The homepage shows what a breakdown looks like: an excerpt with its plain-language summary, the quoted clause and the opt-out deadline, plus a look at Peek checking a link. The Clarity Meter explains each of its four levels.
• 28 Sep 2026Headings, sections and the Clarity Meter now animate once, the first time they scroll into view, and then stay put.
• 28 Sep 2026The homepage has a Clarity Meter section: click any level to see what it means. Breakdown pages get the same meter, with each product's own rating fixed in place.
• 28 Sep 2026Headings and their sections now ease into view as you scroll, on every page. Peek shows one step at a time while it reads, and the desktop pipeline chart is white to match mobile.
• 28 Sep 2026On phones and tablets the homepage pipeline now runs top to bottom, the newsmaker cards deal out from a stack as you scroll, and the header keeps Peek one tap away.
• 28 Sep 2026The changelog has its own page, linked from every footer. Peek's cookie banner now names PostHog analytics, and declining turns it off across the site.
• 27 Sep 2026Breakdown pages now link the company's original terms, let you download the full analysis and extracted terms, and point to Peek for a browser check.
• 27 Sep 2026Added a Terms of use page, and the footer now links to it and the changelog.
• 24 Sep 2026Check any terms of service in your browser at /peek: paste a link and read a plain-English breakdown, no account and no install. The site also got a calmer look.
• 24 Sep 2026Run the skill and it now writes a shareable breakdown page that opens anywhere, hands an agent the facts to weigh a product against your own rules for data, region and legal terms, and works on any agent framework.
• 23 Sep 2026Each breakdown now lists how to reach the company, privacy, support, legal notice and the arbitration opt-out, pulled from the documents. The skill returns a ready-to-show breakdown an agent can pass straight to its own users.
• 23 Sep 2026The downloadable skill now reads the full document set, privacy, acceptable-use, SMS and the rest, and breaks down each agreement on its own when a product has more than one.
• 23 Sep 2026Breakdown pages get a redesigned close: caveats, two more breakdowns to read, and a proper skill callout. Key phrases are highlighted, and Jev's term switcher holds your place.
• 23 Sep 2026Every breakdown now reads the full document set, not just the main terms. Jev carries two reads, product and website, behind a switcher, and the phrases that cost you are bolded.
• 23 Sep 2026Breakdown pages get a product shot up top, a reworked masthead, and a white background; Instinct now covers its privacy, acceptable-use, and SMS documents in full.
• 23 Sep 2026Breakdown pages got a design pass: full quote cards, a bordered structure table, a sticky Contents rail, and roomier spacing.
• 23 Sep 2026Breakdown pages rebuilt: a headline and ranked takeaways up top, a Clarity Meter, a sticky Contents rail, and every quote naming the company plainly.
• 22 Sep 2026First breakdowns are live: Instinct, Lovable, and Jev.
• 22 Sep 2026Download the CheckTOS skill and run any terms of service in your own Claude.
• 22 Sep 2026Launched the site: the pipeline, the newsmaker deck, and the breakdown pages.
