Terms of Service
Last updated: July 2, 2026
1. Agreement to these terms
These Terms of Service (the "Terms") are an agreement between you and the developer of MergeMole ("we," "us," or "our"). They govern your use of the MergeMole macOS application (the "App") and the website at mergemole.app (the "Site"). By downloading, installing, or using the App, or by using the Site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App or the Site.
2. The App
MergeMole is a menu bar application for macOS that fetches the GitHub pull requests that involve you and helps you triage them, optionally using AI to rank them and summarize them. The App is currently free of charge. It requires no account with us; it connects to GitHub using a personal access token that you provide.
3. License
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the App on Macs that you own or control. You may not:
- sell, rent, lease, or redistribute the App;
- modify the App or create derivative works of it;
- reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App, except to the extent applicable law permits this despite the restriction;
- remove or alter any proprietary notices in the App.
4. Your GitHub account and token
The App accesses GitHub on your behalf using a personal access token that you create and paste into the App. You are responsible for that token, for the account it belongs to, and for making sure your use of the App complies with GitHub's own terms of service and any policies of the organizations whose repositories you access. You can revoke the token at any time from your GitHub settings, which immediately ends the App's access.
The App uses your token to read pull request data. It does not approve, merge, comment on, or otherwise write to your repositories.
5. AI triage and third-party providers
The App can use AI to produce summaries, priority rankings, and effort estimates ("verdicts"). Verdicts are automated estimates provided for your convenience. They may be incomplete, inaccurate, or wrong, and they are not professional advice. You are responsible for your own review decisions; do not rely on a verdict as a substitute for reading a pull request.
By default, AI runs on your device using Apple's Foundation Models. If you choose to connect your own AI provider, your use of that provider is governed solely by your agreement with them, and any usage costs they charge are yours. We are not a party to that relationship and are not responsible for a provider's services, pricing, or handling of data you send to it. You can also turn AI off entirely.
6. Acceptable use
You agree to use the App and the Site only in compliance with applicable law. You may not use them to infringe the rights of others, to interfere with or disrupt any service they connect to, or to attempt to gain unauthorized access to systems or data.
7. Updates and availability
We may update, change, or discontinue the App or the Site, in whole or in part, at any time. We are under no obligation to provide updates, new features, or continued availability. Features that depend on third parties (such as GitHub, Apple's on-device models, or an AI provider you connect) may stop working if those third parties change or withdraw their services.
8. Intellectual property
The App and the Site, including their design, code, and content, are owned by us and protected by applicable intellectual property laws. These Terms do not grant you any rights other than the license in Section 3. GitHub, Apple, and any AI providers you connect are independent companies; their names and trademarks belong to their respective owners, and nothing here implies affiliation or endorsement.
9. Disclaimer of warranties
The App and the Site are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the App will be error-free, uninterrupted, or secure, or that verdicts will be accurate.
10. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising out of or related to your use of (or inability to use) the App or the Site, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability for all claims relating to the App or the Site will not exceed the amount you paid us for the App in the twelve months before the claim arose (which, for a free app, is zero).
11. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, damages, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your misuse of the App or the Site or your violation of these Terms.
12. Changes to these terms
We may revise these Terms from time to time. The current version will always be posted on this page with its "last updated" date. Changes take effect when posted, and your continued use of the App or the Site after that constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
13. Miscellaneous
These Terms are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the App and the Site. If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in full effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it.
