Terms of Service
These terms apply to the Ferret desktop app and the website ferretade.dev, provided by Japan Marketing LLC ("we"). By using Ferret you agree to them. Last updated: October 18, 2026.
#The software
Ferret is open-source software under the MIT License (opens in a new tab). You may use, copy, modify and distribute it free of charge under that license. Third-party components and the files Ferret downloads on demand (such as speech recognition models) are subject to their own licenses.
#Your content and accounts
Your recordings, findings, projects and videos are yours. Ferret processes them on your computer and claims no rights to them. You are responsible for having the rights to what you record and post, and for the accounts you connect.
Coding agents (for example Claude Code, Codex or Gemini CLI) and AI services you set up run under your own subscription and keys. Your use of them is subject to their providers' terms.
#YouTube
Ferret uses YouTube API Services to post your videos to your own channel after you press OK. By connecting your Google account you agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service (opens in a new tab). The Google Privacy Policy (opens in a new tab) applies to data handled by Google. You can revoke Ferret's access at any time at Google security settings (opens in a new tab) or by disconnecting in Ferret. How Ferret uses this access is described in Data and privacy.
#TikTok
If you connect TikTok, videos are posted to your account under TikTok's Terms of Service (opens in a new tab) and Community Guidelines (opens in a new tab), which you agree to follow. Nothing is posted until you press OK. See Data and privacy.
#Online services
A few optional features use small servers run by us: share links, the feedback relay and the TikTok token relay. They are provided free of charge and may change, be limited or stop at any time. Don't use them to send unlawful content or to attack or overload them.
#No warranty
Ferret is provided "as is", without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any damages arising from its use, including lost data, changes made by coding agents, or content posted by mistake. Review your video and its post settings before you press OK.
#Changes
We may update these terms. The date at the top shows the latest version. If you keep using Ferret after a change, you accept the updated terms.
