Terms of
service.

01The short version

The full agreement is below. This is the shape of it:

• Redeep is free, and yours to use for real work. Personal or commercial, on as many Macs as you own or control. There is no seat count and nothing to activate.
• You bring the intelligence. We ship no models and resell no tokens. The provider whose key you saved bills you directly, and what your agents spend is yours to watch.
• Your agents act as you. They run on your machine, with the permissions you grant, against the accounts you connect. What they do is your responsibility — review it before it ships.
• We hold nothing of yours. No account, no upload, no server of ours in the path. The privacy policy spells that out.
• It comes as is. Free software, no warranty, and a hard cap on what we could ever owe you. Everything below is the long form of these five lines.

02Who this is between

Slideform, Inc. ("we," "us") publishes Redeep and operates redeep.app. You are the person or organization using them. Downloading, installing, or using Redeep means you accept these terms; if you don't accept them, don't use the app, and delete any copy you have.

These terms cover the macOS app, this website, the update feed the app checks, and the documentation and skills we ship alongside it. Our privacy policy is part of this agreement.

You must be at least 16 years old to use Redeep. If you are accepting on behalf of a company or other organization, you confirm you are authorized to bind it, and "you" means that organization.

03Your license to use Redeep

Redeep is provided free of charge. We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and run it on Macs you own or control, for your own work or your employer's — commercial use included, with no separate license to buy.

What that license does not cover:

• Selling, renting, sublicensing, or redistributing Redeep, on its own or bundled into something else.
• Reverse-engineering, decompiling, or disassembling the app, except to the extent law expressly permits despite this restriction.
• Removing or altering copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices.
• Circumventing the security boundaries in the app to reach data or systems you would not otherwise be allowed to reach.

Redeep is not open-source software, and we keep every right we haven't granted here. It does include third-party open-source components, each under its own license; where one of those licenses says something different about its own component, that license wins for that component.

If we introduce paid features later, they will arrive with their own terms. They will not retroactively change the license for the free app you already have.

04What Redeep is, and isn't

Redeep is a desktop application — a client, not a cloud service. It coordinates things that are already yours: your files, your models, your tools, your accounts.

• We run no inference. There is no Redeep model. Every cloud request goes from your Mac to the provider whose key you supplied; open-weight models run on your own hardware.
• We host nothing. There is no account to create and no project of yours stored with us. Deployments are served from your Mac, not from ours.
• There is no service for us to suspend, and so no uptime for us to promise. Whether Redeep works tomorrow depends on your Mac, your keys, and the third parties you point it at.

What we do operate is small: this website, the download, and the update feed the app checks for new versions.

05Your keys, your bills

You supply the credentials, and they stay in your macOS Keychain. We never receive them, which also means we cannot meter, cap, or revoke them for you.

Your provider bills you. Every token an agent spends is charged by that provider on your account, under their pricing and their terms — whether you started the run by hand or a board or schedule started it for you. The same is true of connected services that charge for use.

Autonomous work can get expensive. A long run, a large repository, or a loop can consume far more than you expected. Redeep shows a running cost ledger and lets you stop work at any point, but those figures are our best estimate from what providers report — they are not a bill, and they can be wrong. If cost matters to you, set a spending limit with your provider, where the limit is actually enforced.

We are not responsible for provider charges, rate limits, outages, model deprecations, or account suspensions. Those are between you and them. Handing work to your own Codex or Claude Code CLI likewise runs on your account and your billing, and Redeep never puts your API keys into those tools.

06Services you connect

Redeep becomes useful when you point it at things you already have: model providers, Google Workspace, Slack, cloud consoles, databases, HTTP APIs, MCP servers, a browser. Each connection is your decision, and each carries a few obligations with it.

• You are allowed to connect them. The accounts are yours, or you have permission to use them, and using them through Redeep doesn't breach their terms or your employer's policy.
• Each service governs its own data under its own agreement and privacy policy. We are not a party to those exchanges and receive no copy of them.
• Google Workspace data reached through Redeep is used only to carry out the task you asked for in the app, in line with the Limited Use requirements of the Google API Services User Data Policy. The Google Workspace page has the permission-by-permission detail.
• MCP servers and skills you install are third-party code that runs on your machine with the access you give it. Treat one the way you'd treat any other program you install: know where it came from.

07What your agents do

Redeep gives agents real capability. They read and write files, run shell commands and code, query databases, browse the web, drive your screen when you allow it, call the APIs you've connected, and open pull requests.

Everything they do, they do as you — on your machine, with your credentials. To every system they touch, the actor is you, and that is how these terms treat it too. You are responsible for the actions your agents take and for the consequences, including work you set running and walked away from.

Redeep's guardrails are real, and they are not a guarantee. Shell and code execution run inside a macOS Seatbelt sandbox confined to the session's workspace; agents work in separate git worktrees; destructive and sensitive actions stop for your approval; tools and connections carry allowlists. All of that is defense in depth. You can widen it, and a determined instruction can still do damage inside the room you've opened.

If you turn on computer use, an agent clicks and types on your Mac exactly as you would — including in applications that are not Redeep, and including anything already signed in there. Watch it while it works.

08Acceptable use

Use Redeep for real work. Don't use it for any of this:

• Anything unlawful, or that helps someone else do something unlawful.
• Reaching systems, accounts, or data you aren't authorized to reach — including scanning, credential stuffing, or exploiting other people's infrastructure.
• Building or distributing malware or ransomware, or tooling whose purpose is to cause damage or evade security controls.
• Scraping or automating a website against its terms, its robots directives, its rate limits, or applicable law. An agent's browser is still your browser.
• Generating or distributing sexual content involving minors, non-consensual intimate imagery, targeted harassment, or material that deceptively impersonates a real person or organization.
• Bulk unsolicited messaging, spam, or fraud, including through connected mail or chat.
• Infringing anyone's copyright, trademark, patent, or trade secrets, or violating anyone's privacy or data-protection rights.
• Breaking the acceptable-use policy of a model provider or any other service you've connected. Their rules apply to whatever you send through them.
• Presenting Redeep's output as vetted professional advice — legal, medical, financial, or otherwise — without review by someone qualified to give it.

We can't monitor your machine, and we don't try to; there is no channel that would let us. What we can do, if you break these rules, is stop supplying you the app and pursue whatever remedies the law gives us.

09Your content & the output

Yours stays yours. Your prompts, files, repositories, notebooks, boards, and everything agents produce from them belong to you. We claim no ownership and take no license in them — we couldn't use them if we wanted to, because we never receive them.

Model output isn't ours to grant. Whether you own what a model generates, and on what terms you may use it commercially, is set by the provider whose model produced it. If that matters for your work, read their terms.

Output is generated, not verified. Models get facts wrong, invent details, write code with security bugs, and sometimes produce text close to someone else's. Treat what an agent hands you as a draft from a fast, tireless, occasionally overconfident colleague, and check it before you rely on it.

None of it is professional advice. Nothing Redeep produces is legal, medical, financial, tax, or safety advice, and none of it substitutes for a qualified professional.

10Sharing what you build

Deployments run on your Mac. There is no hosting account and no upload, and nothing is reachable beyond your machine until you deliberately share it.

When you do share, you are the publisher and the host. You are responsible for what is in it, for who you let in, for having the rights to what you're serving, and for any law that applies to it. Access controls — secure links, allowlists — are yours to manage, so revoke them when someone should no longer have access.

The traffic travels over the tunnel you chose (Tailscale, Cloudflare, or an SSH forward), carried by that provider under their own terms rather than ours. And a share stays up only while your Mac is awake and the tunnel is running.

11Updates & availability

• Updates. The app asks redeep.app/appcast.xml whether a newer version exists and can install it for you. You can turn that off in Settings; if you do, keeping current — including with security fixes — is on you.
• Change. Redeep is under active development. Features get added, changed, and occasionally removed, and a change at a model provider or in macOS can break an integration without warning.
• Experimental features. Anything marked beta or experimental is offered as is even by the standards of this page. Expect rough edges, and don't build a critical process on one.
• Ending distribution. We may stop publishing Redeep, this site, or the update feed at any time. A copy you've already installed keeps running for as long as macOS supports it — there's no license server to switch off.
• Requirements. macOS 14 or later on Apple Silicon. Some features need runtimes you provide, such as Python, Node, or an agent CLI, and permissions you grant in System Settings.

12Our name & your feedback

The Redeep name, the Redeep logo, the app's design, and the text and images on this site are ours, protected by copyright and trademark law. Nothing here grants you a right to use our name or logo, beyond the ordinary way anyone refers to a product they use — writing about it, reviewing it, or saying what you built with it. Don't suggest we sponsor or endorse you, and don't put our marks in your product name, logo, or domain.

Feedback is a gift and we treat it as one. If you send us a bug report, an idea, or a suggestion, we may use it freely — without confidentiality, attribution, or payment — and you keep every right you already had in it. Please don't send us anything confidential that you wouldn't want used that way.

13No warranty

Redeep is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranty of any kind. To the fullest extent the law allows, we disclaim the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement, along with any warranty arising from a course of dealing or trade usage.

In particular, we do not warrant that Redeep will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure; that it will work with any particular model, provider, tool, or version of macOS; or that agent output will be accurate, complete, original, or fit for what you intend to do with it.

Some places don't allow exclusions like these. Where that is true, this section applies as far as local law permits and no further, and you may have rights this page cannot take away.

14Limits on liability

What an agent does on your machine can matter a great deal, and we have neither visibility into it nor control over it. The limits below are the basis on which we give the app away.

• We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost revenue, lost or corrupted data, deleted files, lost business, or the cost of substitute services — even if we were told such damages were possible.
• Our total liability for all claims relating to Redeep is capped at the amount you paid us for it in the twelve months before the claim. While Redeep is free, that amount is zero.
• These limits apply across every theory of liability — contract, warranty, negligence, strict liability, or anything else — and survive the failure of any remedy's essential purpose.
• Nothing here excludes liability we are not permitted to exclude, such as for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for death or personal injury caused by our negligence.

You'll cover us for your misuse. If someone brings a claim against us because of how you used Redeep — what you ran, what you connected, what you shared, or what you did with the output — you agree to defend and indemnify us against that claim and its reasonable costs. We will tell you about it promptly and let you take over the defense of anything we ask you to cover.

15Ending these terms

You can end this agreement whenever you like by deleting Redeep. There is nothing to cancel and no one to email.

We may end it if you materially breach these terms. In practice that means we stop supplying you the app and its updates, and you must stop using it and delete your copy.

Whatever ends it, these survive: the license restrictions, acceptable use, ownership, no warranty, limits on liability and the indemnity, and governing law.

16Governing law & disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

Any dispute goes to the state or federal courts located in Delaware, and you and we each consent to their exclusive jurisdiction and venue. There is no arbitration clause here and no class-action waiver — if we end up in a dispute, it goes to a court.

If you are a consumer in a country whose law lets you bring proceedings where you live, or gives you protections a contract can't waive, this section doesn't take those away.

Before either of us files anything, please write to us. Almost everything turns out to be a misunderstanding that an email settles faster than a lawyer.

17Changes & contact

These terms, together with the privacy policy, are the whole agreement between you and us about Redeep, and they replace anything said before. If a court finds one part unenforceable, the rest stays in force. Not enforcing something once doesn't waive it later. You may not transfer this agreement; we may transfer it as part of a merger, acquisition, or sale of the business.

When these terms change, we will update the date at the top of the page and say so plainly on the site if the change is material. Continuing to use Redeep after an update means the revised terms apply, and the version at redeep.app/terms is always the current one.
