Terms of Use & License

Product and agreement

OneNotch is a macOS utility offering a free tier and an optional paid OneNotch Pro upgrade. It provides clipboard history, media controls, Live Activities, timers, calendar and reminder views, download progress, and optional AI-agent activity around the MacBook notch or menu bar. Feature availability depends on your Mac, macOS version, settings, permissions, and connected apps.

License grant and activation

Subject to these Terms, the Developer grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to install and use OneNotch for personal or internal business use. A OneNotch Pro purchase is a license, not a sale or transfer of the App, source code, or intellectual property. One Pro license may be activated on up to 2 Macs belonging to the same purchaser. License keys must be kept confidential and may not be shared, resold, or used to bypass Free-tier limits. The free tier remains subject to its published feature and storage limits.

Purchase, payment, and refunds

OneNotch Pro is currently offered as a one-time lifetime purchase with no recurring subscription. The following purchase terms apply:

• The price, currency, discounts, and applicable taxes are those shown at checkout when you place the order; future prices may change without changing completed purchases.
• An independent checkout provider acts as merchant of record and authorized reseller, processes payment and taxes, issues the receipt and license key, and applies the terms shown at checkout to the transaction.
• “Lifetime” means that the purchased Pro license has no subscription renewal or scheduled expiry and includes updates made available to that license while OneNotch is offered; it does not promise perpetual development, support, compatibility, or availability.
• We offer a 14-day, no-questions-asked money-back guarantee on OneNotch Pro: contact support@tryonenotch.com within 14 days of purchase and your order will be refunded in full. Refunds are issued through the checkout provider and usually reach your statement within 5–10 business days. This guarantee applies in addition to any mandatory consumer rights that apply to you.

Optional integrations and third parties

Features you enable may interact with Apple frameworks, websites used for link previews, GitHub and Sparkle for updates, LRCLIB for lyrics, media apps, local companion services, or AI providers such as OpenAI and Anthropic. Those services are operated independently and may have their own terms and availability.

Ownership and restrictions

OneNotch, its source code, design, branding, and documentation are proprietary and protected by intellectual-property law. You must use the App lawfully and only with content, accounts, and systems you are authorized to access. Except where applicable law expressly permits it, you may not copy, modify, publish, distribute, sublicense, sell, rent, reverse engineer, decompile, circumvent license or security controls, or create derivative works from the App. Third-party components remain governed by their own licenses. You retain ownership of content you place in the App.

Updates, beta features, and compatibility

We may add, change, suspend, or remove features, integrations, Free-tier limits, and beta functionality, and may stop supporting older macOS or OneNotch versions. Updates may be installed through Sparkle when you enable automatic updates. Experimental features may be incomplete or unstable. We do not guarantee a particular update schedule, continued compatibility with third-party services, or that every feature will remain available.

Warranty disclaimer and liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, OneNotch is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, uninterrupted operation, compatibility, or data preservation. The Developer is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, or consequential loss, including loss of data, content, profit, business, access, or device functionality. Where liability cannot be excluded, aggregate liability relating to OneNotch will not exceed the amount you paid for OneNotch Pro during the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim. Nothing in these Terms limits rights or liability that applicable law does not allow to be limited.

Termination and changes to these Terms

You may stop using and uninstall OneNotch at any time. Your license may be suspended or terminated if you materially breach these Terms, share or misuse a license key, circumvent license controls, or if the related order is refunded, reversed, or fraudulent. Provisions concerning ownership, disclaimers, liability, and governing law survive termination. We may update these Terms as the App or law changes; material changes will be published on the website or communicated through another reasonable channel.

Governing law and contact

These Terms are governed by the laws of Vietnam, without overriding any mandatory consumer protection available in your country. Courts with jurisdiction under Vietnamese law will hear disputes unless mandatory law requires otherwise. Before filing a claim, please contact OneNotch Support at support@tryonenotch.com so we can try to resolve it informally.
