Legal

Terms of Use

DockShift is MIT-licensed open source software, provided to you as-is. Here's the practical version, followed by the details.

Last updated

The short version:

DockShift is MIT‑licensed open source. Use it freely, fork it, ship it — the only ask is that the MIT notice travels with copies. There is no warranty. We are not liable if something breaks. Don't abuse the website.

1. The software is MIT‑licensed

DockShift is released under the MIT License. The canonical text lives in the repository: github.com/Salah-XD/dockshift/blob/main/LICENSE.

Under MIT, you may use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and sell copies of DockShift, subject to including the copyright notice and the licence text in any substantial portion of the software you redistribute.

2. "As is" — no warranty

Both the DockShift application and this website are provided "as is", without warranty of any kind, express or implied. In particular, we do not guarantee that:

  • The software is bug‑free or fit for any specific purpose.
  • The website will be available at any specific time.
  • Releases will be code‑signed (we're saving up for the cert).
  • Integrations with third‑party services (AI providers, package managers, etc.) will continue to function if those services change.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the authors and maintainers will not be liable for any claim, damages, or other liability arising from your use of DockShift or this website.

3. Your responsibilities when using DockShift

  • API costs — if you connect a paid AI provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.), you are responsible for any usage charges that provider bills you. DockShift just forwards your requests; we have no insight into or control over their pricing.
  • Backups — the app stores your workspaces, notes, clipboard history, screenshots, and other content locally. You are responsible for backing them up. Reinstalling without preserving your %APPDATA%/DockShift folder will lose that data.
  • Third‑party terms — you must comply with the terms of any service you connect through DockShift (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, OpenRouter, etc.).
  • Legal use — you agree not to use DockShift to violate applicable laws or anyone else's rights.

4. Your responsibilities when using this website

Don't attempt to disrupt the site, scrape it abusively, attempt unauthorised access, or impersonate the DockShift project. The site is a marketing page; it has no user accounts, so there is nothing to "log in" to.

5. Trademarks

The "DockShift" name and the DockShift wordmark are project marks belonging to the maintainers. The MIT licence grants you rights to the software code, not to the name or branding. You may refer to DockShift accurately (e.g. "built on DockShift", "fork of DockShift"); commercial use of the name or logo — for instance, distributing a competing app under the same branding — requires our written permission.

6. Open source contributions

Contributions to the project (pull requests, issues, discussions) are welcome and are governed by the MIT licence: by submitting a contribution, you agree your work may be incorporated under MIT.

7. Changes to these terms

If we change these terms, we'll update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Material changes will also be noted in the project's release notes.

8. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the project maintainers reside, without regard to conflict‑of‑laws rules. If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect.
