Terms of Use

The licence

MacDotes is sold through the Mac App Store. Unless stated otherwise at the point of sale, your purchase is governed by Apple’s Licensed Application End User License Agreement, which Apple publishes and which takes precedence over anything on this page. This page describes the app in plain language; it does not replace that agreement.

You buy a licence to use MacDotes on the Macs associated with your Apple Account, as Apple’s terms allow. There is no subscription, no in-app purchase, and no licence key to manage.

What the app does to your Mac

MacDotes changes one system-wide setting: the mapping between the Command and Option modifier keys. It applies that change while an application you have named is frontmost, and reverses it when that application is not. It records what it has changed before changing it, so an unexpected quit is undone on the next launch, and a restart or logout clears the mapping regardless.

It changes nothing else. It installs no background daemon that outlives it, no kernel extension and no input driver, and it requires no Accessibility or Input Monitoring permission.

No warranty

MacDotes is provided as is, without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. You use it at your own risk. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the developer is not liable for any loss or damage arising from its use — and nothing here limits any right you have under consumer law in your country, or under Apple’s own terms.

Refunds

Purchases made through the Mac App Store are refunded by Apple, not by us — we never see your payment details and cannot issue a refund. Request one through Apple’s “Report a Problem” page or your purchase history.

Trademarks

MacDotes is an independent utility. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Valve Corporation, and it contains no game content, artwork or code belonging to anyone else. Dota 2 is a trademark of Valve Corporation; it is named here only to describe which application the app can be configured to detect. macOS, Mac and App Store are trademarks of Apple Inc.

Changes to these terms

If these terms change, the date at the top of this page changes with them. A change that affects what you bought will be described here rather than made quietly.
