Terms of Service

1. Scope

These terms apply to the software products provided by XiaoNiuBuNiu (individual developer) — currently ActionSense (macOS), BrowserDrop (Android), and this website. Using an app or the site means you accept these terms.

2. Licenses

ActionSense — MIT License

ActionSense is released under the MIT License. You may use, copy, modify, and redistribute it, including in commercial products, as long as the copyright notice is preserved. It is provided "as is" even within that license — see section 5.

BrowserDrop — Free proprietary license (beta)

You may install and use BrowserDrop free of charge for personal and internal business purposes during the beta period. You may not sell, sublicense, reverse-engineer for competitive purposes, or redistribute modified builds. Participation in the Google Play beta is also governed by Google's own beta testing terms.

3. Beta terms (BrowserDrop)

• Beta versions are provided for testing. Features may be incomplete or unstable, and the beta may end at any time.
• Keep backups of any files you transfer. A file-transfer tool operating on real storage can, in theory, fail mid-operation. Beta builds carry higher risk than a polished release.
• Feedback posted to me or to the beta group is voluntary; I may use it without obligation. Please don't include personal data in feedback.

4. Acceptable use

Don't use my apps to transfer, store, or distribute unlawful content, or to interfere with networks you aren'th authorized to use. Beyond that, what you do on your own devices with local-first tools is your business, not mine — I have no visibility into it and no ability to police it.

5. Disclaimer ("as is")

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the apps and this website are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. I do not warrant that apps will be error-free or uninterrupted.

6. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, I will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages — including loss of data or files — arising from use of the apps or inability to use them. If you are a consumer in the EU, UK, or another jurisdiction that caps or excludes such disclaimers, liability is limited to the extent your local law allows, and mandatory rights (e.g. for gross negligence or personal injury) are unaffected.

7. Intellectual property

Except where a product is explicitly open source (ActionSense), all software, branding, and site content are owned by XiaoNiuBuNiu. The ox logo and "XiaoNiuBuNiu" name are not licensed for third-party use without permission.

8. Third-party links & affiliate disclosure

The site links to third-party products and some links are affiliate links — if you purchase through them I may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Recommendations reflect real usage, but the third parties' terms govern your transactions with them, and I am not responsible for their products or services.

9. Changes to these terms

Terms may be updated as products evolve (for example, if a paid tier launches, payment terms will be added here). The effective date at the top will change. Material changes to app licensing will be announced on the product page and blog.
