WitNote Terms of Service

Product Scope

WitNote is provided as A local-first Markdown workspace: your notes stay in files you choose, and built-in AI runs on your device.

The product page, Apple App Store listing, privacy policy, terms, support contact, and public source and notice repository define the current public product scope. WitNote is a local-first Mac, iPhone, and iPad application. No account is required to use it, and the website does not create a separate user account or hosted writing workspace. Features may differ by device and region.

Use of the Product

WitNote is a local Markdown writing, knowledge, reading, conversion, and AI-assistance workspace. You are responsible for the files and content you import, the rights to that content, the prompts you submit, and how you use generated or converted output. Local and cloud AI output can be incomplete or inaccurate and must be reviewed before publication, submission, or another consequential use. Do not use the product in ways that violate applicable law, platform rules, model licenses, provider terms, or third-party rights.

User Content and Local Data

No account is required. User-selected folders, Markdown documents, and exports stay in the locations you choose, and the built-in on-device model does not upload documents. If you choose to use optional connected AI where it is available, text is sent to a service of your choice only when you send a request; on Mac, attached document content also requires a separate per-endpoint permission.

WitNote stores selected workspaces, Markdown files, imports, exports, settings, and local model files on the Mac, iPhone, or iPad, or in a file location the user chooses. You are responsible for file permissions, device security, backups, and any model files you download from external sources. Removing the app or its local data may remove data that has not been backed up.

Downloads, Purchases, and Updates

WitNote is distributed through Apple App Store. The optional Lifetime purchase is a non-consumable in-app purchase handled by Apple StoreKit; WitNote does not offer an auto-renewable subscription. Refunds, billing issues, and account-level purchase records are handled by Apple.

The local Markdown workspace and basic local model experience are available according to the current app build. The optional non-consumable WitNote Pro lifetime purchase, shared across Mac, iPad, and iPhone, unlocks format conversion and export through Apple StoreKit. WitNote does not offer an auto-renewable subscription. Restore Purchases uses Apple's StoreKit flow; refunds, billing issues, and purchase records are handled by Apple under App Store rules.

Third-Party Services

WitNote may use Apple App Store and StoreKit, the MLX runtime, Qwen model files, Mac-local Ollama, and user-selected cloud API endpoints where available. Each third-party service, runtime, model, downloaded asset, or API remains subject to its own license, terms, and privacy policy.

WitNote includes or may download MLX-compatible model files, including Qwen3 variants. Where available, it can also connect to Mac-local Ollama or a cloud endpoint chosen by the user. WitNote does not provide, relay, or control those cloud services. The user is responsible for each selected model or API, its cost, output, availability, content policy, privacy policy, and retention practices. The Mac and mobile app packages expose third-party notices and bundled model license files. MLX, Qwen, and each downloaded model remain subject to their own licenses, model-use restrictions, and attribution requirements.
