Last updated: October 31, 2026

This End-User License Agreement ("Agreement") is a legal contract between you ("User") and PodXero ("Licensor") for the PodXero Studio application, including its media, documentation, and updates (the "Software").

Read this before installing the Software. If you do not accept these terms, do not install or use the Software; if you already installed it, uninstall it and delete the data files listed in Section 5.

1. License Grant

Subject to your compliance with this Agreement, Licensor grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to install and use the Software on devices you own or control, for your personal or internal business purposes. The Software is licensed, not sold: you do not acquire ownership of the Software itself.

If you obtained the Software from the Mac App Store, Apple's Licensed Application End-User License Agreement also applies to your use of it. Where the two conflict, Apple's terms control as to your purchase.

2. Restrictions

You may not:

• Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software, except to the extent that such activity is expressly permitted by applicable law.
• Rent, lease, sublicense, sell, or lend the Software.
• Remove or alter any proprietary notices, licence texts, or attribution notices in the Software or its third-party components.
• Use the Software to violate any applicable law or the rights of third parties.
• Use the Software to capture or publish material you are not authorised to record or distribute.

3. Your Recordings and Content

• The Software records the screen, a window, or the area you select, and writes the result to your device. Licensor claims no ownership over the screen content, audio, images, or videos you capture, and no licence to them beyond what is needed to operate the Software.
• You are solely responsible for the content you capture and share, including whether you have the consent of the people whose screens, voices, or faces appear in your recordings, and whether your use complies with the laws that apply to you.
• Your recordings are written to your own device, as described in Section 5.

4. System Permissions

The Software works within the permissions macOS grants it. It asks for the following permissions, and each one is asked for when the matching feature is used:

• Screen Recording — to capture your screen, a window, or a region.
• Microphone — to record your voice along with the video.
• Camera — to show you in the webcam bubble.
• Accessibility — to observe mouse clicks and the window under the pointer, which drives click tracking and automatic zoom.

You can revoke any of these at any time in System Settings → Privacy & Security. Without Screen Recording the capture features do not work; without Accessibility the click-tracking and auto-zoom effects do not work; without the Microphone or Camera permission the corresponding audio or webcam source is simply unavailable. The folders the Software reads are the ones described in Section 5, and it does not require Full Disk Access.

5. Local Data and Where It Lives

The Software stores its data on your device, in these locations:

• ~/Library/Application Support/PodXero_Studio/ — settings, the recordings library, the SQLite database, exported videos, your local account profile and avatar, the optional server session, and the line (clothesline or garden) items.
• ~/Pictures/PodXero Studio/ — screenshots you take outside a recording.
• ~/Library/Logs/PodXero Studio/ — the application log.

Deleting these files removes the corresponding data permanently. Sections 1 to 3 of the Privacy Policy describe what is stored, what can leave your device, and what happens to your account information.

6. Accounts and Account Services

• The account feature is optional. You can use every recording, editing, and export feature of the Software without an account.
• If you enable the online account, the Software talks to the account service you are connected to. Your email address and password are sent to that service to authenticate you; Licensor operates the service when it is operated by PodXero.
• A session token is written to your device so you stay signed in. Signing out removes it. You can delete the local profile and session at any time by removing the application data folder described in Section 5.
• You can delete your account from inside the Software, which also deletes your account on the service — the service marks it as deleted, and you can no longer sign in to it.
• You are responsible for activity under your account and for keeping your credentials confidential.

7. Purchases and Subscriptions

• Pro features are sold as a subscription through the Mac App Store (that purchase channel exists only in a copy of the Software you obtained from the Mac App Store). Payment is charged to your Apple ID account by Apple; your payment details stay with Apple, and the Software receives the product information and the entitlement state.
• Subscriptions renew automatically unless you cancel them at least 24 hours before the end of the current subscription period. You manage or cancel a subscription in your Mac App Store account settings, under your Apple ID.
• The price, the subscription period, and any introductory offer are shown in the app and in the Mac App Store listing; the Mac App Store listing is the authoritative statement of what you are charged.
• The Software asks the Mac App Store whether your subscription is active in order to unlock paid features. A purchase is not linked to an account you create inside the app.
• Refunds are handled by Apple under the Mac App Store refund policy and the law that applies to you.
• A copy of the Software obtained any other way has no purchase channel, charges you nothing, and has every feature available.

8. Third-Party Components and Reference Projects

The Software bundles open-source components and contains code derived from third-party projects. Each of them is governed by its own licence, and those licences govern that component even where the rest of the Software is licensed by PodXero. Section 2 also prohibits you from removing any of the notices reproduced below.

The Software's own licence is PodXero's proprietary licence. It ships with the application as Contents/Resources/LICENSE.

8.1 What is bundled, and under which licence

8.2 The notices themselves

The attribution each of those licences asks for is reproduced here in full, in the form that licence specifies.

Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy
of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal
in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights
to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell
copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is
furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions:

The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all
copies or substantial portions of the Software.

THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY,
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE
AUTHORS OR COPYRIGHT HOLDERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM, DAMAGES OR OTHER
LIABILITY, WHETHER IN AN ACTION OF CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, ARISING FROM,
OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SOFTWARE OR THE USE OR OTHER DEALINGS IN THE
SOFTWARE.

8.3 What was changed

The Apache License 2.0 requires that modified files carry prominent notices stating that they were changed. Every derived file carries such a notice in its header, and the upstream NOTICE files describe the changes in full — Contents/Resources/notices/NOTICE-effects.md and Contents/Resources/notices/NOTICE-scenes.md.

The Software does not include Remotion. The animation API that those cards use is provided by a compatibility layer written for this product, and the upstream cards were adapted to it.

9. Updates

New versions are delivered as new releases that you install yourself. Features that would reach the network on their own — such as the optional driver download — are off by default and have to be switched on explicitly.

10. Disclaimer of Warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Software is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranty of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. Licensor does not warrant that the Software will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses or other harmful components.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, in no event shall Licensor be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, recordings, profits, revenue, or goodwill, arising out of or in connection with the Software or your use of it, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. Where liability cannot be excluded, Licensor's total liability is limited to the amount you paid for the Software, including subscription fees paid through the Mac App Store.

Nothing in this Agreement excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any right you have under mandatory consumer protection law in your country of residence.

12. Indemnity

To the extent permitted by law, each party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the other from any third-party claim, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of that party's own breach of this Agreement, negligence, or wilful misconduct. No indemnity applies to a claim arising out of the other party's own conduct, and nothing in this Section limits the mandatory protections you have under the law of your country of residence.

13. Termination

This Agreement is effective until terminated. It terminates automatically if you breach any of its terms. On termination you must stop using the Software and uninstall it; sections that by their nature should survive (including Sections 3, 5, 7, 10, 11, and 12) do survive.

14. Changes to This Agreement

This Agreement may be updated to reflect product, legal, or security changes. The date at the top of this document always shows the current version, and the updated text appears on the page the publisher hosts; the app provides a link to that page in About. If you do not accept a change, stop using the Software and uninstall it.

15. Governing Law and Disputes

This Agreement is governed by the laws applicable at Licensor's place of establishment, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute that cannot be settled amicably will be handled by the courts of competent jurisdiction at that place. Mandatory consumer protections of your country of residence remain unaffected, and nothing in this Agreement takes away any right you have under the law of your country of residence.
