Terms of Use
Last updated 15 August 2026
Mindslip is a Mac app you buy once and use on the Macs associated with your Apple Account. Your notes are yours. The app is provided as it is, and our liability is limited to what you paid for it.
1. Agreement
These terms apply when you download or use Mindslip (“the app”). By using the app you accept them. If you do not accept them, do not use the app. Where you obtained the app through Apple, Apple’s Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies, and where these terms conflict with it, Apple’s terms govern the matters they cover.
2. Your licence
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to install and use the app on Apple-branded devices you own or control, as permitted by the App Store rules and by these terms. During any beta period the app is provided free of charge, and that licence may be withdrawn when the beta ends.
3. What you may not do
Do not copy, redistribute, sell, rent, or sublicense the app; do not reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive its source code except to the extent that applicable law expressly permits despite this restriction; and do not remove any proprietary notices.
4. Your content is yours
Everything you write in Mindslip belongs to you. We claim no rights over it, and we do not receive a copy of it — see the Privacy Policy. You are responsible for what you store in the app and for keeping your own backups.
5. Backups and data loss
The app stores your notes on your Mac and, if you enable it, in your own iCloud account. We cannot recover your notes for you, because we have no access to them. Please keep backups — Time Machine, or another backup of your Mac, covers the app’s local database.
6. Beta software
While Mindslip is distributed through TestFlight it is pre-release software. It may contain defects, behave unexpectedly, or lose data, and features may change or be removed before general release. Do not rely on beta versions as the only home for information you cannot afford to lose.
7. iCloud sync
Sync depends on Apple’s iCloud service and on your Apple Account, including its storage limits and availability. We do not control that service and cannot guarantee that sync is instant, uninterrupted, or error-free. Sync is off until you turn it on.
8. Purchases
Any purchase is handled by Apple, not by us. Prices, taxes, receipts, and refunds are governed by Apple’s terms; refund requests go to Apple. If the app later offers paid features, what is included will be stated at the point of purchase.
9. No warranty
The app is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so parts of this section may not apply to you, and you may have rights under local consumer law that these terms do not affect.
10. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages, or for lost data, lost profits, or business interruption, arising out of your use of the app. Our total liability for any claim relating to the app is limited to the amount you paid for it in the twelve months before the claim, or to having the app repaired or replaced, whichever we choose. Nothing here excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.
11. Changes to the app and to these terms
We may update the app, change its features, or stop distributing it. If these terms change, the date at the top changes with them; continuing to use the app after that means you accept the revised terms.
12. Termination
Your licence ends if you stop using the app, if you delete it, or if you break these terms. Your notes remain yours and remain where they are — on your Mac and in your iCloud — because we never held them.
