The terms, in plain language.
FluxGit is a desktop Git client built and sold by me, a solo developer. These terms cover what you get when you use the free version, buy a license, or join the private beta. Last updated 2026-06-10.
What FluxGit is
FluxGit is a desktop application for working with Git repositories. It is currently in private beta. macOS builds are available now; Windows and Linux builds are in preparation. The app runs on your machine and your repositories stay local.
Free use and paid licenses
Without a license, FluxGit works with repositories that can be verified as public on GitHub, GitLab.com or Bitbucket.org. That free mode is not a trial and does not expire.
A paid license unlocks private repositories, self-hosted forges and local-only repositories. The first paid product is the founder lifetime license: a one-time purchase that can be active on up to 5 of your devices and includes lifetime updates. Standard perpetual personal licenses allow up to 3 devices and include 12 months of updates; the app keeps working after the update window ends, you just stop receiving new versions unless you renew.
Scope of the license
A license is for one person. You may activate it on the number of devices your plan allows, and you can deactivate a device from inside the app or by writing to support if you lose access to a machine. A license does not let a team share one key, and it does not let you resell, sublicense or redistribute the app or your license key.
How you get and activate a license
After purchase, your license key is delivered to the email address you used at checkout. You activate it inside the app under Settings. Activation sends licensing metadata only: never repository contents, paths, diffs, file names or commit data. Details are in the privacy notes.
Payments and Paddle
Paid orders are processed by Paddle.com as merchant of record. That means Paddle handles checkout, payment, applicable taxes and VAT, receipts and refund processing, and Paddle is the seller of record for your purchase. Paddle's own terms apply to the checkout transaction. Refunds are covered by the refund policy.
Beta disclaimer
FluxGit is beta software and is provided as-is, without warranty of any kind, during the beta period. The app is built around safety rails and restore points, but no software can promise zero bugs. Keep backups of anything you cannot afford to lose, the same way you would with any Git tool. To the extent permitted by law, my liability for damages arising from use of the app is limited to the amount you paid for your license.
Revocation and abuse
I can revoke a license key that is shared publicly, resold, used to circumvent device limits or obtained through a fraudulent or refunded payment. Revocation disables activation; it never deletes or touches your local repositories. If you think a revocation was a mistake, write to support and I will look at it personally.
Changes to these terms
If these terms change in a way that matters, the updated date at the top changes and licensed users are notified by email. Continuing to use the app after a change means you accept the updated terms.
Contact
Questions about these terms, your license or your devices: [email protected]. I read and answer every message myself.
FluxGit is an independent, solo-developer product. When checkout goes live, the seller of record on your receipt is Paddle.com, the merchant of record, which handles billing, taxes and payment data under its own terms.
