Terms of Service

Last updated 15 November 2026

These terms apply when you download, try or buy Kettlebar, the Mac app offered at kettlebar.app. "Kettlebar", "we" and "us" mean the maker of the app. By downloading or using the app you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use it.

1. What Kettlebar is

Kettlebar is an app for macOS that shows the status of Claude Code sessions in a small indicator at the top of your screen, and plays a sound when a session needs you or has finished. It needs macOS 14 or later and a working installation of Claude Code, which is a separate product that you obtain from its own provider.

Kettlebar is an independent product. It is not made by, endorsed by or affiliated with Anthropic.

2. Free trial

You can use Kettlebar free of charge for 7 days. No payment details are needed for the trial. When the trial ends, the app stops working until you enter a licence key.

3. Buying a licence

A licence is a one-time purchase at the price shown at checkout. There is no subscription and no recurring charge. Taxes may be added at checkout depending on where you live.

Our orders are handled by Paddle.com, our online reseller. Paddle is the Merchant of Record for every order, which means Paddle takes your payment, sends your receipt, and deals with payment questions and returns. Paddle's own terms apply to the purchase itself.

After you pay, you receive a licence key by email. Enter it in Kettlebar's settings to unlock the app.

4. Your licence

When you buy Kettlebar, we give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the app on Macs that you personally use. The app is licensed to you, not sold.

You agree not to:

• share, publish, resell or give away your licence key;
• copy or redistribute the app, except for your own backup;
• reverse engineer, modify or remove the licence checks from the app, except where the law gives you that right;
• use the app in a way that breaks the law.

We may deactivate a licence key that has been refunded, charged back, shared publicly or obtained by fraud.

5. Refunds

You can ask for a full refund within 14 days of buying. The details are in our Refund Policy.

6. Updates and changes to the app

We may release updates that fix problems or change how the app works. Your licence covers the version you bought and the updates we make available to licence holders. We do not promise any particular future feature or update.

Kettlebar depends on Claude Code and on macOS. If either of them changes, parts of Kettlebar may stop working until we update it, and we cannot guarantee that an update will always be possible.

7. Ownership

Kettlebar, including its code, design, name and logo, belongs to us. These terms do not give you any rights to them beyond the licence described above.

8. No warranty

Kettlebar is provided as it is. To the extent the law allows, we make no promises that it will be free of errors, that it will always be available, or that it will suit a particular purpose. Kettlebar only reports what Claude Code is doing. It does not control Claude Code, and you remain responsible for the work your tools carry out.

Nothing in these terms removes rights that you have as a consumer under the law where you live.

9. Limit of liability

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, lost profits, or lost data that result from using or being unable to use Kettlebar. Our total liability to you is limited to the amount you paid for your licence.

10. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains what information is and is not collected.

11. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The date at the top shows when they last changed. If you keep using Kettlebar after a change, the updated terms apply.
