👋 The “Human-Readable” Summary

We know legal documents are boring. Here is the plain English version of what you are agreeing to. This summary is for convenience only; the full legal text below is binding.

  • You own the license forever: It’s a perpetual license. You pay once, keep the version you bought forever.

  • Fair Use: You can activate one license key on up to 2 computers (e.g., your desktop and your laptop), as long as they are yours.
  • Privacy First: The app runs locally. We don’t see your videos, photos, or AI results. Only you do.
  • AI Disclaimer: The AI is smart, but not perfect. Please check its output before using it for critical work.
