Terms of Service

These Terms of Service govern your use of MonCut, the macOS application available via the Mac App Store, and moncut.com. By installing the app, using the website, or subscribing to email updates, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not install the app or use the website.

MonCut grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to use the application on any Mac signed in to your Apple ID. Apple's Family Sharing for non-consumable in-app purchases lets you share MonCut with up to 6 family members on the same Apple ID family group. The license is personal and tied to your Apple ID — you may not redistribute, resell, or sublicense the application.

When you first launch MonCut, a 14-day free trial begins automatically. During the trial, all features are available — recording, editing, preview, transcription, all of it. After 14 days, recording and editing remain available, but the Export function locks until you complete a one-time $30 purchase via the Mac App Store. No credit card is required during the trial. No automatic conversion.

MonCut is sold exclusively through the Mac App Store. Apple processes all payments. We do not directly handle your billing information. Refund requests are handled by Apple under their standard refund policy (https://reportaproblem.apple.com). The 14-day free trial gives you the opportunity to evaluate the app fully before purchasing.

You may not use MonCut to record screens, audio, or video in violation of applicable laws or the privacy/consent rights of others. You are solely responsible for the content you record, edit, and distribute using MonCut. The application provides recording capabilities; how you use them is your responsibility, and you indemnify the developer against claims arising from misuse.

The MonCut application, name, logo, and associated trademarks are the property of the developer. You may not copy, modify, decompile, reverse-engineer, or create derivative works of the application beyond rights granted by applicable law. The recordings, transcripts, edited projects, and exported videos you create using MonCut belong to you. We claim no ownership over your content.

MonCut uses the following Apple-provided frameworks under their respective licenses: SwiftUI, AppKit, AVFoundation, CoreMedia, CoreImage, CoreVideo, CoreText, CoreGraphics, ScreenCaptureKit, Speech (SpeechAnalyzer), Vision, Metal, IOKit.hid, ImageIO, QuartzCore, and Foundation. The app bundles 38 cursor PNGs derived from the macOS Tahoe cursor set and references 16 system wallpapers shipped with macOS.

MonCut is provided 'as is' and 'as available' without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the application will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the developer's total liability for any claim arising out of or relating to MonCut is limited to the amount you paid for the application — $30 or less. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including lost profits, lost data, or business interruption.

These Terms of Service are governed by the laws of the country where the developer resides. Any dispute will be resolved in the courts of that jurisdiction. If any provision of these terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect.

We may update these Terms of Service from time to time. Material changes will be communicated via email to existing subscribers and reflected in the 'Last updated' date at the top of this page. Continued use of the app or website after such changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
