By downloading, installing, accessing, or using 2Notch (“2Notch,” “the App,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), you agree to these Terms of Use and acknowledge the privacy practices described below.
If you do not agree with these terms, please do not use the App.
1. About 2Notch
2Notch is a macOS utility designed to enhance the Mac notch and menu bar experience by displaying and providing access to features such as media information, calendar information, timers, weather information, Bluetooth device information, system indicators, notifications, and other supported utilities.
Available functionality may depend on your Mac model, macOS version, permissions, installed applications, connected devices, and services available on your device.
2. 14-Day Free Trial
2Notch includes a 14-day free trial.
The trial is intended to allow you to evaluate the App before purchasing it.
During the trial period, you may access the features made available as part of the trial without purchasing a license.
At the end of the 14-day trial, continued access to features requiring a paid license may require purchasing 2Notch.
The trial does not automatically convert into a recurring subscription.
2Notch does not charge a recurring monthly or yearly subscription fee unless a different purchase option is explicitly introduced and accepted by you in the future.
3. One-Time Lifetime Purchase
After the free trial, 2Notch may be unlocked through a one-time purchase offered through Apple’s App Store and payment system.
The purchase provides access to the applicable paid version of 2Notch for the lifetime of the product, subject to these Terms.
“Lifetime” refers to the commercial lifetime and continued availability of 2Notch and does not constitute a guarantee that the App, every feature, or compatibility with every future version of macOS will remain available indefinitely.
There are no recurring subscription charges associated with the one-time lifetime purchase.
The purchase does not automatically renew.
4. Payments
Purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store.
2Notch does not directly receive, process, or store your complete credit card, debit card, Apple Pay, or other payment credentials.
Apple may maintain purchase, transaction, account, billing, and payment information according to Apple’s own terms and privacy practices.
Payment authorization, billing, receipts, refunds, purchase restoration, and other App Store transaction matters may therefore be subject to Apple’s applicable policies.
5. Refunds
Because purchases are processed through Apple, refund requests are generally handled by Apple and are subject to Apple’s applicable App Store policies and consumer protection requirements.
2Notch does not independently control Apple’s approval or rejection of refund requests.
Nothing in these Terms limits any mandatory consumer rights that apply to you under applicable law.
6. Privacy by Design
2Notch is designed to operate primarily on your Mac.
Unless explicitly stated otherwise within the App, information used to provide 2Notch functionality is processed locally on your device.
We do not operate the App for the purpose of selling your personal information or building advertising profiles about you.
7. Information Stored Locally
Depending on the features you use, 2Notch may locally process or store information such as:
- App preferences and settings;
- selected widgets and appearance preferences;
- timer and Pomodoro settings;
- calendar-related information required to display calendar features;
- reminders you add or choose to show;
- clipboard history, if you turn it on;
- notes, voice notes, screenshots and screen recordings you make with 2Notch;
- focus-session history and automations you create;
- media playback information and artwork;
- Bluetooth device information and battery status;
- weather preferences and relevant location or selected-city information;
- feature configuration;
- notification preferences;
- trial or license-related status where technically necessary; and
- other information necessary to provide features you choose to enable.
Where this information is stored locally, it remains on your Mac unless you independently back up, synchronize, export, or otherwise transmit your device data using Apple or another service.
8. Apple and Purchase Information
Information related to purchasing 2Notch may be processed or retained by Apple.
We may receive limited transaction information from Apple’s systems when technically necessary to determine whether a valid purchase or entitlement exists.
This may include information indicating that a purchase was successfully completed, restored, refunded, revoked, or otherwise changed.
We do not need your full payment-card details to verify an App Store purchase.
9. macOS Permissions
Some 2Notch features may require permission to access macOS capabilities or information.
Depending on the features you enable, this may include access associated with:
- Calendar;
- Location Services;
- Bluetooth;
- Notifications;
- Reminders;
- the microphone, for voice notes;
- Screen Recording, for screenshots, screen recordings and Peek;
- media or system information; and
- other macOS capabilities required for a particular feature.
2Notch should request permissions only when they are required for the corresponding functionality.
You can manage applicable permissions through macOS System Settings.
Refusing or revoking a permission may cause the corresponding feature to stop working, but other features may continue to function.
10. Calendar Information
If you enable calendar functionality, 2Notch may access calendar information necessary to display or provide the calendar features you request.
Calendar information accessed locally by 2Notch is not sold or used for advertising.
Access is used to provide the calendar functionality you enable.
11. Location and Weather
Weather functionality may require a location, city, region, or similar information to retrieve relevant weather conditions.
If Location Services are used, macOS controls the permission granted to the App.
A third-party weather provider or Apple service may receive information necessary to fulfill a weather request. Such external services may process information according to their own terms and privacy policies.
12. Bluetooth Information
If you enable Bluetooth functionality, 2Notch may access information about supported Bluetooth devices to provide features such as connection status, device identification, or battery information.
This information is used to provide the requested functionality.
13. Media Information
2Notch may access currently playing media information, including information such as track title, artist, playback state, or artwork, when required to display media-related functionality.
Media information used by local features is processed for the purpose of displaying those features.
14. On-Device Intelligence
Features that summarize, rewrite, explain or read text in images use Apple's on-device models and frameworks. The text and images they work on are processed on your Mac and are not sent to the developer.
Translation uses Apple's Translation framework, which may download languages from Apple.
15. No Sale of Personal Data
2Notch does not sell your personal information.
We do not use locally processed calendar, Bluetooth, media, timer, or similar information to create advertising profiles.
We do not provide such information to advertisers for targeted advertising.
16. Third-Party and Apple Services
Certain features may depend on Apple frameworks, macOS services, APIs, or third-party services.
Use of those services may be governed by separate terms and privacy policies.
We are not responsible for the independent privacy practices, availability, security, or operation of third-party services.
17. Data Loss and Backups
You are responsible for maintaining appropriate backups of information stored on your Mac.
Although reasonable care is taken in the development of 2Notch, no software can guarantee that data will never be corrupted, deleted, or lost.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, 2Notch is not responsible for loss resulting from device failure, operating-system changes, deletion, corruption, third-party software, or circumstances outside our reasonable control.
18. Updates and Compatibility
2Notch may receive updates that add, remove, modify, improve, or discontinue functionality.
Changes made by Apple to macOS, hardware, APIs, permissions, security requirements, or other system components may affect 2Notch functionality.
We do not guarantee compatibility with every Mac, every external display, every third-party application, every accessory, or every future version of macOS.
19. Acceptable Use
You may use 2Notch for lawful personal or professional purposes.
You may not intentionally attempt to reverse engineer, circumvent licensing protections, interfere with the App’s operation, distribute unauthorized copies, exploit security vulnerabilities, or use the App in violation of applicable law, except where such restrictions are prohibited by applicable law.
20. Intellectual Property
2Notch, including its software, interface, visual design, branding, icons, graphics, and original content, is protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.
Purchasing 2Notch gives you a license to use the App. It does not transfer ownership of the software or its intellectual property to you.
21. Availability
We may modify, suspend, or discontinue portions of 2Notch when reasonably necessary, including for technical, security, legal, compatibility, or operational reasons.
A lifetime purchase does not constitute a guarantee of perpetual operation, maintenance, updates, or availability of every feature.
22. Disclaimer
2Notch is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis to the extent permitted by applicable law.
We do not guarantee that the App will always operate without interruption, bugs, compatibility problems, or errors.
Nothing in this section excludes warranties or rights that cannot legally be excluded under applicable consumer law.
23. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the developer of 2Notch will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or similar damages resulting from use of or inability to use the App.
This limitation does not apply where liability cannot legally be excluded or limited.
24. Changes to These Terms
These Terms and this Privacy Policy may be updated when 2Notch changes, when legal requirements change, or when new functionality is introduced.
When appropriate, the updated version will include a revised “Last Updated” date.
Material changes may also be communicated through the App where reasonably necessary.
25. Termination
You may stop using 2Notch at any time.
We may restrict access where reasonably necessary to address fraud, abuse, security threats, licensing circumvention, or violations of these Terms, subject to applicable law.
26. Apple
Your use of 2Notch may also be subject to Apple’s applicable App Store and macOS terms.
Apple is responsible for its own App Store, Apple ID, payment, billing, and related services.
Nothing in these Terms changes your rights or obligations under applicable agreements with Apple.
27. Your Rights
Depending on where you live, applicable privacy and consumer-protection laws may provide additional rights.
Nothing in these Terms is intended to waive or restrict rights that cannot legally be waived or restricted.
