Terms of use
The short version. AppMama is free software under the GPLv3. It comes with no warranty. It runs a code-writing agent and installs the software that agent produces on your own device — you are responsible for reviewing that software and for what it does. You also have to keep to the terms of whichever AI provider you connect.
01 The agreement
These terms cover your use of the AppMama application and this website. By installing or using either, you accept them. If you do not, do not install the app. Nothing here limits rights the GPLv3 grants you — where the two conflict, the licence wins.
02 Licence
AppMama is distributed under the GNU General Public License, version 3. You may run, study, modify and redistribute it, including commercially, provided derivative works carry the same licence and their source is made available. The full text ships with the source.
The app links Termux's terminal-view and
terminal-emulator (GPLv3) and includes a bootstrap built from
termux-packages; those components keep their own notices. The agent CLIs it
runs are the property of their respective publishers under their own
licences, and are not part of this project.
03 Who may use it
You must be old enough to form a binding contract where you live, and old enough to hold an account with the AI provider you connect. AppMama is a developer tool and is not intended for children.
04 What you are responsible for
- The apps you build. You decide what to ask for, whether to install it, and whether to give it away. Anything it does afterwards is yours.
- Installing software. The app asks Android to install APKs. You confirm each one. Only install what you understand.
- Your credentials. Keep your API keys and sessions secure; revoke them at the provider if a device is lost.
- Your data. There is no cloud copy of your projects. Back up anything you would be sorry to lose before uninstalling, clearing app data or resetting the device.
- Your costs. Builds consume your own subscription quota or API credit, and downloads consume your own bandwidth. We never see the traffic and cannot refund it.
- Your device. Compiling is demanding: long CPU load, heat, battery drain and gigabytes of storage. Decide for yourself whether your hardware should do it.
05 Code the agent writes
Output from an AI coding agent can be wrong, insecure, or similar to existing code. It is generated by the provider you connected, not by this project, and ownership of it is governed by that provider's terms. Review generated code before you rely on it, publish it, or install it on a device that matters to you. Do not use AppMama to produce software for safety-critical purposes.
06 Third-party services
Using AppMama means using services we do not run: Anthropic, OpenAI, xAI or OpenRouter for the agent; GitHub for downloads; package and dependency repositories for the toolchain. Their terms and privacy policies apply to your use of them, and their availability, pricing and rate limits are theirs to change. This project is independent of and not endorsed by any of them.
07 Acceptable use
Do not use AppMama to:
- build or distribute malware, spyware, or software designed to harm people, devices or networks;
- break the law, or infringe someone else's intellectual property or privacy;
- circumvent, resell, or evade the limits of an AI provider's service, or breach that provider's usage policies;
- attack, overload or disrupt any system or service.
Being free software, this cannot be enforced by cutting off access — there is no access to cut off. It is stated so expectations are clear, and because the providers you connect will enforce their own.
08 No warranty
AppMama is provided “as is”, without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement, as set out in sections 15 and 16 of the GPLv3. No guarantee is made that it will build any given app, that a build will succeed, that the result will be correct, or that the app will run on your device at all.
09 Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, the contributors are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, nor for lost data, lost profits, device damage, or charges you incur with an AI provider, arising from use of this software. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions; where that is so, they apply only to the extent permitted, and nothing here excludes liability for fraud or for death or personal injury caused by negligence.
10 Availability and changes
This is a volunteer project. There is no service level, no guaranteed support and no promise of future releases. Features may change or be removed; an update may require setting the environment up again. These terms may be revised, with the effective date above updated and the change visible in the repository's history. Continuing to use the app after a revision means accepting it.
11 Trademarks
Android is a trademark of Google LLC. Claude is a trademark of Anthropic. ChatGPT and Codex are trademarks of OpenAI. Grok is a trademark of xAI. Termux and JetBrains Mono belong to their respective owners. They are used here descriptively; the GPLv3 grants no trademark rights.
12 Governing law
These terms are governed by the law of the maintainers' place of residence, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules, and do not deprive you of the protection of mandatory consumer law in your own country. If any provision is unenforceable, the rest stays in force.
