A personal tool, used fairly.

One purchase covers you, on the Macs you own or control, as many as you have. Your licence key is yours alone: do not share it, publish it, or sell it. A key found on Macs that are not yours, or circulating in public, may be deactivated and the licence ended with it, without a refund beyond what your local law requires. The licence does not cover redistributing the app, reselling it, bundling it into another product, or standing it up as a service for other people. A copy bought from the Mac App Store, if we ever offer one, follows the App Store's rules instead, Family Sharing included where Apple enables it.

Do not use HushNotes to store, produce, or distribute content that is illegal where you live, or that infringes someone else's rights. Captured text is included: capturing is copying, and the right to keep what you copy is your responsibility.

Hiding your notes from a screen share exists so your drafts, journal, and to-do lists stay yours while you present. That is personal privacy, and it is the point of the feature.

You may not use it to break rules you are bound by. That includes:

• hiding notes during proctored exams, assessments, or interviews that forbid aids;
• defeating monitoring or recording that you have agreed to, or that the law requires, in a workplace or regulated setting;
• concealing information you are obliged to disclose on a recorded or supervised call;
• any other use where a law or a contract requires your screen to show everything.

Whether such a rule applies to you is your responsibility, and consequences under those rules are yours, not ours.

The MCP endpoint exists so your own agents, on your own machine, can read your own notes. It is not a database backend: do not build a hosted or multi-user service on top of it, use it to pipe notes around as commercial data infrastructure, or point it at someone else's notes on a shared Mac without their knowledge.

Do not reverse engineer, decompile, or modify the app except where the law grants that right regardless of this policy; do not circumvent the licence key, the note lock on a machine that is not yours, or any of the app's protections; do not use HushNotes to carry or deliver malware.

Support is one person reading email. Reasonable questions get real answers, usually quickly. Abusive messages, spam, and automated floods get none, and may be blocked.

Violations can end your licence as described in the Terms of Use, including deactivating a licence key that is being shared. Unlawful use may be reported where we are required to report it, which, given that we cannot see your notes, would be based on what you show us, not on surveillance.
