Terms of Service

Alarmist

Architecture: Alarmist operates with no Folding Sky backend. All LiDAR motion detection processing happens entirely on your device. We do not create or manage user accounts.

Permissions: Requires camera/LiDAR access for motion detection. You control whether captured photos are saved to your Photos library.

iCloud Sync: Alarmist can sync detection history (event timestamps, detection metrics, and captured photos) across your devices via CloudKit using your personal iCloud account. This sync is enabled by default and can be disabled in the app's settings. iCloud sync is subject to Apple's iCloud Terms of Service. Folding Sky does not have access to data stored in your iCloud account. You are responsible for managing your iCloud storage and settings.

Third-Party Services: All LiDAR motion detection processing uses native iOS capabilities. Alarmist does not use AI services.

Ad Conversion Tracking: Alarmist integrates third-party SDKs from Google and TikTok to measure advertising campaign effectiveness. By using Alarmist, you acknowledge that device identifiers and purchase events may be shared with these providers for ad attribution. You can decline the App Tracking Transparency prompt to prevent access to your device's advertising identifier. See our Privacy Policy (folding-sky.com/privacy) for full details on what data is collected and shared.

Silent Detection Mode: Alarmist includes an optional silent detection mode that suppresses the audible alarm and flashlight while continuing to detect motion, capture photos, and log detection events. Since there is no flash, this mode is primarily useful in lighted or dim conditions. This feature is designed for use in spaces where you have a reasonable expectation of control, such as your own home, hotel room, or personal property. Alarmist does not currently record audio or video, but future versions may add recording capabilities with appropriate notice and consent mechanisms.

Your Legal Responsibility Regarding Privacy and Surveillance Laws: Many jurisdictions have laws governing surveillance, monitoring, and recording, including but not limited to wiretapping statutes, eavesdropping laws, hidden camera prohibitions, and workplace monitoring regulations. These laws vary significantly by jurisdiction and may apply even when no audio or video is recorded. Some jurisdictions require all-party consent for any form of monitoring in spaces where individuals have a reasonable expectation of privacy.

By using Alarmist (including silent detection mode), you represent and warrant that:

• You have the legal right to monitor the space where you deploy Alarmist
• Your use complies with all applicable federal, state, local, and international laws regarding surveillance, monitoring, privacy, and recording
• You will not use Alarmist to monitor individuals without proper legal authority or required consent
• You will not deploy Alarmist in any location where monitoring is prohibited by law
• You understand that silent or covert detection may carry additional legal obligations in your jurisdiction

Folding Sky does not provide legal advice. If you are uncertain whether your intended use of Alarmist complies with applicable law, consult a qualified attorney in your jurisdiction before use. Folding Sky is not responsible for any illegal or unauthorized use of Alarmist.

Not a Security System: Alarmist is a convenience tool, not a security device. It cannot guarantee detection of all motion, prevent intrusion, or protect you from harm. Technology can fail. LiDAR sensors have limitations. Environmental conditions affect detection reliability. This app is provided as-is for informational awareness only.

No Guarantee of Protection: Alarmist should never be your sole means of protection. Do not rely on it for personal safety or as a substitute for proper security measures. Test thoroughly in your specific environment and understand its limitations before use.

Busybody

Architecture: Busybody operates with no Folding Sky backend. Website screenshots are captured and stored locally on your device. We do not create or manage user accounts.

Permissions: No special device permissions required. Screenshots are captured using a standard embedded web browser.

Third-Party Services: Busybody does not use any AI services. However, it accesses third-party websites that you specify.

Website Access: Busybody captures screenshots from websites you specify using an embedded web browser. A website may treat these captures as automated access. The Website Access and Automated Actions section below applies to your use of Busybody.

Cumbersome and Endemic

Cumbersome and Endemic are Folding Sky's AI-powered apps. They share underlying technology but serve different purposes and connect to AI in different ways. Neither app has a Folding Sky backend for AI processing. We do not create or manage user accounts for either app. See the Artificial Intelligence Disclosure section below for important information about AI-generated content.

Cumbersome (Cloud AI Client): Cumbersome acts as a client application that facilitates direct communication between your device and third-party AI providers (such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Google AI Studio, OpenRouter, Z.ai, Vercel AI Gateway, and others we may add). You must provide your own API keys or other authentication values. By using Cumbersome, you acknowledge and explicitly consent to the transmission of the content you enter (including prompts, messages, conversation context, and any attached images or files) to third-party AI providers for processing. Folding Sky does not collect, store, or have access to the content you send to AI providers. You are responsible for securing every credential you configure.

App-Authored Instructions and Tools (Cumbersome only): To provide Cumbersome's current and future features, the app may include app-authored prompts, system instructions, tool or function definitions, attachment framing, and related request data in communications with the AI provider you select. Examples include instructions used to generate conversation titles, compare responses, draft a Ghost/Write message, compact conversation history, ask structured clarification questions, or let a model use enabled tools. These additions may affect model behavior, token usage, and provider charges. We use them only to perform the app's stated functionality and keep them as focused as practical. Some are part of default features, while others apply only when you enable or explicitly invoke a feature. See Cumbersome Data, API Keys, and Prompt Transparency (folding-sky.com/cumbersome/transparency) for more information and examples. That page is explanatory and may not contain a complete or current inventory of every feature or request.

Camera Attachments (Cumbersome only): If you capture a photo inside Cumbersome, you are responsible for having the right to capture and share it. The photo becomes User Content and is sent to the selected AI provider if you send the message containing it. Do not capture or submit images in violation of another person's privacy, intellectual property, or other rights.

Question Cards (Cumbersome only): The selected model can call this tool to ask structured questions before answering. Cumbersome returns your answers, or your decision to skip, to the provider as the tool result. The result may be stored with the conversation. The questions and suggested choices are AI Content, so review them before responding. Tool instructions say not to request secrets or use the cards to confirm an external action, but instructions cannot guarantee appropriate behavior. Do not enter credentials or other secrets into a Question Card, and do not treat a card as authorization for a separate action.

Browser Tools (Cumbersome and Endemic): Cumbersome and Endemic provide Local Web Search, which sends an AI-generated query to a search engine and returns result links and snippets; Local Web Browser, which loads one page, can run AI-generated JavaScript once, extracts readable content, and then discards that page; and Web Agent, a visible browser that keeps page and navigation state for multi-step work and can operate on sites you sign into. Availability, settings, and initial defaults vary by operating system and app version and can change over time. When a browser tool is used, the selected model may propose searches, navigation, page inspection, JavaScript, form interaction, and other browser steps for the app to execute from your device. Cumbersome may return browser tool results to the AI provider you selected. Endemic processes browser tool results with the local model running on your device, but search engines and websites still receive requests directly from your device. A webpage can contain text or code that influences the model's later actions, including content designed to mislead an AI system. In unusual or unintended cases, an AI-generated browser action could include information from your prompt, conversation, or a page in a request to a third-party website or service. The apps instruct models not to inspect password, payment, passkey, or authentication fields, but instructions and model safeguards cannot guarantee that sensitive information will never be accessed or transmitted. The visible browser lets you observe and intervene, but it does not eliminate this risk. You are responsible for supervising browser activity and deciding which sites and accounts to use. The Website Access and Automated Actions section below applies whenever you use these tools. Avoid AI-assisted browsing with highly sensitive accounts or information unless you accept these risks.

Remote MCP Servers (Cumbersome and Endemic): Both apps may let you configure remote Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers or similar tool services. When you enable and invoke a remote tool, the app sends tool requests and arguments directly to the server you configured. Those arguments may include information from your prompt, conversation, attachments, or model-generated content when needed for the requested tool. Server results may be added to your conversation and, in Cumbersome, returned to your selected AI provider as tool results. You are responsible for choosing and securing each server, understanding its terms and privacy practices, and reviewing what you send. Folding Sky does not operate or control a user-configured server unless we specifically identify it as a Folding Sky service.

Endemic (On-Device Local LLM): Endemic runs large language model inference on your device using downloaded model weights (GGUF format). Network access is required to download models from the catalog; inference does not require network access after models are downloaded. Model weights are downloaded from third-party publishers and hosts. You are responsible for complying with any license or terms that apply to those model files. Folding Sky does not host model files and does not control third-party hosts.

Provider Relationship: For Cumbersome, AI processing and outputs are provided by the third-party AI provider you select and are governed by that provider's terms and policies. Cumbersome functions as a client interface that sends your requests using your API key. For Endemic, AI output is produced by local models on your device using weights from third-party publishers. In both cases, Folding Sky does not provide, train, host, or control the underlying AI model.

Provider Access Restrictions (Cumbersome only): You may use a provider through Cumbersome only if that provider permits access from your current country or territory. Your provider account must also be authorized for that access. Cumbersome's technical ability to connect does not grant permission to use the provider. You must not use Cumbersome with a VPN, proxy, location spoofing, or any other method to evade a provider's geographic, account, sanctions, export-control, or other access restrictions.

AI Content: AI Content generated through Cumbersome or Endemic is not created by Folding Sky. See the Artificial Intelligence Disclosure and Disclaimer of Warranties sections for important limitations on AI Content.

API Cost Monitoring (Cumbersome only): Cumbersome may provide estimates of API usage costs from third-party providers. These estimates are provided for informational purposes only and are not guaranteed to be accurate. Actual costs may vary based on provider pricing changes, token counting methodologies, model updates, or other factors. You are solely responsible for monitoring your actual API usage and costs directly with each provider.

Product Analytics: Both apps send limited technical and product-usage data to Firebase Analytics, including pseudonymous identifiers. By using these apps, you acknowledge this data collection. See our Privacy Policy (folding-sky.com/privacy) for details on what is collected and how it is used.

iCloud Sync: Both apps automatically sync data via your personal iCloud account when iCloud is enabled on your device. Each app uses a separate iCloud container. This sync is subject to Apple's iCloud Terms of Service. You are responsible for managing your iCloud storage and settings. Folding Sky does not have access to data stored in your iCloud account.

Dense

Architecture: Dense uses a Folding Sky backend to query Gemini with search grounding and generate news digests. We do not create or manage user accounts.

Permissions: Requires network access for digest updates.

AI-Generated Digests: Dense displays a rolling micro digest per topic, generated by Gemini with search grounding. Folding Sky operates backend services to process these queries.

AI Content Disclaimer: Digests and summaries in Dense are generated by Google's Gemini AI. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of this content. AI-generated content may contain errors, omissions, or reflect biases in the underlying data. Dense is designed for quick scanning and is not a primary source. Always verify important information from primary sources.

Fees

Some Services offer one-time in-app purchases or subscriptions through the Apple App Store. We may introduce fees for a Service or feature that was previously available at no charge, change prices, or move features between free and paid tiers. The applicable storefront will show the price and purchase terms before you authorize a charge.

Subscriptions

App Store subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each subscription period until you cancel them through your App Store subscription settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period unless Apple states otherwise. Deleting an app does not cancel its subscription.

Payment Processing and Refunds

Apple processes current in-app purchases, billing, cancellations, and refund requests under its own terms. Folding Sky does not receive your full payment-card details. Our apps receive StoreKit transaction and entitlement information needed to provide or restore purchased access. If we introduce another payment method, we will identify the processor and applicable terms before purchase. Refunds are subject to the applicable storefront's rules and any rights that cannot be waived under law.

Taxes

Taxes are handled as disclosed by the applicable storefront or payment processor. You remain responsible for taxes that law requires you to pay directly.

Governing Law

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services are governed by the laws of the State of Nevada, without regard to its conflict of law provisions, except to the extent non-waivable law applies.

Informal Resolution First

Before either party starts arbitration, that party must send written notice of the dispute and requested relief to the other party and attempt to resolve the matter informally for at least 30 days. You can send notice to us at tabla.kicker.2g@icloud.com. We will send notice to you using any contact information you have provided to us. If the dispute is not resolved after the 30-day period, either party may proceed as allowed under these Terms.

Small Claims Option

Either party may bring an individual dispute in small claims court instead of arbitration, so long as the matter remains individual and qualifies for small claims court jurisdiction.

Arbitration Opt-Out (30 Days)

You may opt out of the Mandatory Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section by emailing tabla.kicker.2g@icloud.com within 30 days after you first accept these Terms. Your opt-out email must include your full name, the app name, and a clear statement that you are opting out of arbitration. Opting out of arbitration does not affect the rest of these Terms.

If we make a material change to the arbitration or class action waiver terms in the future, you may opt out of the revised terms within 30 days after the updated Terms become effective. Re-accepting unchanged arbitration terms does not create a new opt-out window.

Mandatory Arbitration and Class Action Waiver

Except for disputes that qualify for small claims court, any dispute arising from these Terms or the Services will be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its rules. Proceedings must be brought on an individual basis only, not as a class, consolidated, or representative action. You and Folding Sky Co. waive any right to a jury trial.

The arbitrator, and not any court or agency, will have exclusive authority to resolve all threshold issues of arbitrability and enforceability, including disputes about the formation, existence, scope, validity, interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of these Terms or this arbitration provision, except to the extent applicable law requires a court to decide a particular issue.

Class or representative proceedings are not allowed in any forum. The arbitrator has no authority to consolidate claims or preside over class, collective, private attorney general, or representative matters. If a dispute is heard in court rather than arbitration, each party knowingly and irrevocably waives a jury trial. Nothing in this section prevents either party from participating in a class-wide settlement of claims.

If a court determines that all or part of the class action waiver in this section is unenforceable for a specific claim or request for relief, then that claim or request for relief must be resolved in court and not in arbitration, and only on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis to the maximum extent permitted by law.

Judicial Forum if Arbitration Is Unavailable

If arbitration cannot be compelled or is held unavailable for a claim, then to the maximum extent permitted by law, that claim must be brought exclusively in the state courts located in Washoe County, Nevada, or in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada, and each party irrevocably submits to the personal jurisdiction and venue of those courts.

Prevailing Party Fees

In arbitration, the prevailing party may recover reasonable attorneys' fees and costs where permitted by law.

Time Limitation on Claims

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services must be filed within one (1) year after the cause of action accrues. Claims filed after this period are permanently barred. This limitation applies regardless of the form of action, whether in arbitration or court.

Changes to These Terms

We may modify these Terms from time to time. Non-material updates may become effective when posted. Material updates will be reflected in the Last updated date and, where reasonable, by additional notice using one or more of the methods described in the Communications section.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, if you receive reasonably conspicuous notice of updated Terms and continue to access or use the affected Service after the update takes effect, you agree to the revised Terms.

If we make a material change to the Governing Law and Disputes section, we may require additional assent for the updated terms, such as an in-app acknowledgment or click-through acceptance, before continued use of the affected Service. If we request such assent, the revised dispute terms will become effective only when you provide it, except to the extent applicable law permits another method of acceptance.

Entire Agreement

These Terms and our Privacy Policy constitute the entire agreement between you and Folding Sky Co. regarding the Services.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be interpreted to the maximum extent enforceable under applicable law, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

If any portion of the Governing Law and Disputes section is held invalid or unenforceable, that portion will be severed and the remainder of that section will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law, unless applicable law requires otherwise.

Non-Waivable Rights

Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes any rights, remedies, or protections that cannot be waived or limited under applicable law.

No Waiver

Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later.

Assignment

You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign or transfer our rights and obligations at any time.

Sanctions and Export Compliance

You represent that you are not on any U.S. government sanctions or denied-party lists and that you will not use the Services in violation of export, re-export, or sanctions laws. The Services may be subject to U.S. and other export control laws; you agree to comply with them.
