Terms of Use
Effective: May 27, 2026
TL;DR
Notchkin is a one-time Mac App Store purchase. Buy it once, use it on your Macs. No subscriptions, no accounts. It is provided "as is." Keep your Mac backed up, and if you need a refund, you have to ask Apple.
The license you get
When you buy Notchkin from the Mac App Store, you are granted a personal, non-exclusive license to install and use the app on Mac devices you own or control, subject to the Mac App Store's rules. The app, its source code, and its artwork remain the property of Daniel Stankowski. You are buying the right to use it, not the app itself.
What you can't do
- You may not reverse engineer, decompile, or modify Notchkin beyond what macOS and applicable law permit.
- You may not redistribute, resell, or sublicense the app.
- You may not remove the developer's name or copyright notices from the app.
Your data, your responsibility
Notchkin stores your notes locally on your Mac. The app keeps 7 rolling daily backups in its sandboxed folder, so you can recover from an accidental edit or a corrupted file from inside the app itself. I do not have a copy of your data – there is no server, no account, no cloud sync.
Those in-app backups live on the same Mac as your notes, though, so they will not help if the Mac itself dies. Back up your Mac yourself using Time Machine, iCloud Drive, or whatever tool you trust. You can also export your entire library at any time from the app's Settings menu.
Apple, updates, and refunds
Notchkin is distributed exclusively through the Mac App Store. Apple's Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement applies to your purchase in addition to these terms. Where the two conflict, Apple's terms govern the purchase relationship.
Updates are delivered through the Mac App Store at no additional charge. Refunds are processed entirely by Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com. I do not process payments and cannot issue refunds directly.
No warranty
Notchkin is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied. This includes, but is not limited to, warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. I do not guarantee that the app will be error-free or that it will meet your specific requirements.
Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Daniel Stankowski is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of (or inability to use) Notchkin. This includes, but is not limited to, lost data, lost profits, or computer failure.
Privacy
Notchkin does not collect personal information, track you, or phone home. See the Privacy Policy for the full details.
Changes to these terms
If Notchkin ever changes in a way that affects these terms – for example, if a future version introduces a paid feature beyond the original one-time purchase – this page will be updated and the "Effective" date above will change. Material changes will also be noted in the in-app release notes.
