Terms of Use

1. Agreement

These Terms govern your use of ONotch for macOS (“the App”), developed by Nikita Stogniy (“we”, “us”). By downloading or using the App you agree to these Terms. If you don’t agree, don’t use the App.

2. License

The App is licensed, not sold. We grant you a personal, non-transferable, non-exclusive license to use the App on Apple-branded devices you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions. Apple’s Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies; where these Terms conflict with it, these Terms prevail to the extent permitted. You may not copy, modify, reverse-engineer or redistribute the App except as allowed by law.

3. Access to the App

The App is free to download, and its free features need no subscription. Some features require an active ONotch Pro subscription; our Pricing page lists which. People who first installed the App before version 1.2.5 get ONotch Pro without a subscription until December 1, 2027; after that, the free features stay available. We may add, change or remove features over time.

4. Subscriptions and billing

• ONotch Pro is an auto-renewable subscription, billed yearly, every 3 months or monthly. Current prices are shown in the App before purchase and may vary by region.
• Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase.
• The subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
• Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period, at the then-current price.
• You can manage and cancel your subscription in your App Store account settings(on a Mac: System Settings → your name → Media & Purchases → Subscriptions).

5. Free trial

New subscribers may be offered a 7-day free trial. Unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends, it converts into a paid subscription and you are charged. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you purchase a subscription.

6. Cancellation and refunds

When you cancel, ONotch Pro stays active until the end of the period you’ve paid for. All payments are processed by Apple; we can’t issue refunds directly. You can request a refund from Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com.

7. Acceptable use

Don’t use the App to break the law, infringe others’ rights, or record conversations without the consent required where you are. You are responsible for content you transcribe and for keeping your 2FA setup keys and your Mac secure.

8. Third-party services

The App can show information from other apps and services, such as your calendar, music players, Apple Weather, Claude Code and Codex. Those services are governed by their own terms, and we are not responsible for them. Product names are trademarks of their owners; ONotch is not affiliated with Apple, Anthropic or OpenAI.

9. Disclaimer

The App is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind to the extent permitted by law. We don’t guarantee the App will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that transcriptions, weather or other information will be accurate.

10. Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential damages, or for loss of data, arising from your use of the App. Our total liability is limited to the amount you paid for the App in the 12 months before the claim.

11. Changes

We may update these Terms. We’ll change the date above and, for material changes, tell you in the App. Continuing to use the App means you accept the updated Terms.
