Terms of Service

Last updated September 2026

clide is open-source software distributed under the MIT License. There is no account to create and no subscription to manage — you download or build the app and run it on your own machine.

MIT License, in plain language

You're free to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and even sell copies of clide, as long as the original copyright and license notice stay in the source. Full legal text lives in the repository's LICENSE file.

No warranty

clide is provided "as is", without warranty of any kind. The contributors are not liable for any claim, damages, or other liability arising from use of the software. It's an actively developed project (currently v0.1) — expect rough edges.

Bring-your-own credentials

clide is a client for services you choose. If you connect a provider such as Groq, your use of that provider is governed by their own terms, not ours. Your API key is stored locally in the macOS Keychain and is never sent anywhere except that provider.

This website

This marketing site is provided for information about the clide project. It does not create any contract beyond the MIT license that governs the software itself.

Changes

Since clide is developed in the open, these terms may be updated as the project evolves. Check the GitHub repository for the latest source of truth.
