Terms of use

These terms are an agreement between you and Sleuth (“we”, “us”), the maker of Sleuth. Orders are processed by Dodo Payments, our merchant of record. By downloading, installing or buying Sleuth, you agree to these terms. If you don’t agree, don’t use Sleuth.

1. Your license

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use Sleuth on the number of Macs your license covers (1, 3 or 5), for personal or business use. You may move a license to another Mac by deactivating it on the old one (Settings ▸ License ▸ Deactivate this Mac). You may not resell, rent or share license keys, or remove or work around the licensing, except where the law allows it regardless of these terms.

2. Trial and free plan

Sleuth includes a 3-day free trial with every feature, starting at first launch. After the trial, the free features (browsing, the Timeline, search by name, kind, date, size and source, and every Undo and Put back) keep working without a license. Pro features need a license.

3. Buying

Licenses are sold by Dodo Payments, our merchant of record, which handles payment, sales tax and VAT. Prices are one-time, in US dollars or Indian rupees, and the price you pay is the one shown at checkout. Launch prices go up as the shown number of licenses sell; a later change never affects a license you have already bought. There is no subscription.

4. Refunds

You can get a full refund within 14 days of purchase, no questions asked. See the refund policy. A refunded license is deactivated. Under the Share Sleuth, get it free launch offer you keep Sleuth: if that refund deactivates your key, we send you a new one.

5. Updates

Updates are free. We may change or remove features in updates.

6. Your files

Files Sleuth removes go to the Trash, and every clean-up can be put back. The one exception is Developer: where a tool has its own clean command (for example xcrun simctl delete unavailable), Sleuth can run it after you confirm, and that command clears its caches itself, with no Trash. You decide what to remove, and you are responsible for reviewing it. Keep backups of files that matter, for example with Time Machine.

7. No warranty

Sleuth is provided “as is”. To the extent the law allows, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We don’t promise that Sleuth will be error-free or uninterrupted.

8. Limit of liability

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or for lost data or profits. Our total liability for any claim about Sleuth is limited to the amount you paid for your license. Some places don’t allow these limits, so they may not apply to you.

9. Ending the license

Your license ends if you get a refund (other than under the launch offer), if a payment is reversed, or if you break these terms. You can stop using Sleuth at any time.

10. Trademarks

Sleuth is not affiliated with Apple. Mac, macOS and Finder are trademarks of Apple Inc., registered in the U.S. and other countries.

11. Law

These terms are governed by the laws of India, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, and the courts of India have jurisdiction, unless the consumer law where you live gives you the right to bring a claim at home.

12. Changes and contact

We may update these terms; the date at the top shows the latest version, and a change never applies to a purchase made before it. Questions: support@getsleuth.app.
