Terms of Use

1. What Notchi is

Notchi is a free macOS app from Lofi Lab that lives in your Mac's notch. Its source code is public on GitHub. These terms cover your use of the app and of notch.website.

2. No account, no backend

Notchi doesn't require an account and runs entirely on your Mac. We don't operate servers that receive your content — what you type stays local or goes directly to the AI provider you configure.

3. Your keys, your providers

AI answers are powered by third-party providers (OpenRouter, OpenAI, Anthropic, and others) that you connect yourself, with your own key or account. Your use of those services — including their costs, rate limits, and content policies — is governed by their terms, not ours. You're responsible for the requests sent under your key.

4. Your content

Notes and reminders you save belong to you and live in Apple Notes / Apple Reminders on your own devices. We claim no rights over anything you type. See the Privacy page for what the app does (and doesn't) collect.

5. Acceptable use

Don't use Notchi to break the law, or to violate the policies of the AI provider answering your questions.

6. AI output

Answers come from third-party models and can be wrong. They're not professional advice — medical, legal, financial or otherwise — so verify anything important.

7. "As is"

Notchi is provided free of charge, "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Lofi Lab is not liable for damages arising from your use of the app — including provider costs, data loss, or the consequences of acting on an AI answer.

8. Notchi credit

Requests to Notchi's own models are paid from prepaid Notchi credit. Each request is charged from the token counts reported by the model provider; when a provider does not report them, the charge is estimated. Costs and balances shown in the app are therefore approximate and may differ slightly from the actual cost of a request.

When your balance runs low, the last request may cost more than what is left. That request is still answered, your balance is set to $0.00, and the difference is not charged. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Lofi Lab is not liable for differences between the charges shown and the actual cost of your requests.

9. Changes

We may update the app and these terms; the current version always lives at this page. Continuing to use Notchi after a change means you accept the updated terms.
