Terms of service

TabPug is made by Mohit Gangrade, an independent developer based in India (“we” or “us”). These terms cover the TabPug app and the tabpug.com website. By downloading or using TabPug, you agree to them. We’ve kept them short and plain; if anything’s unclear, ask us.

The free trial

You can use every feature of TabPug free for 3 days. After that, you’ll need a licence to keep using it.

Your licence

When you buy TabPug, you get a licence to use it, for as long as you like:

• Personal ($29): use TabPug on 1 Mac that you use.
• Multi-Mac ($59): use TabPug on up to 3 Macs that you use.

It’s a one-time payment, not a subscription. The version you buy keeps working, even if we stop selling TabPug. We plan to keep improving it and releasing updates, but we can’t promise particular features or updates forever.

Your licence is for you. Please don’t share your key, sell it, or post it online. If a key is clearly being shared, we may switch it off.

Payments and refunds

TabPug is sold by Creem, our reseller (the “merchant of record”). Creem handles the checkout, adds any sales tax your country charges, sends your receipt and processes refunds. Theirterms cover the purchase itself. Prices are in US dollars.

If TabPug isn’t for you, email mohit@tabpug.com within 30 days of buying and we’ll refund you in full. No questions asked. Your licence stops working once you’re refunded.

Your writing is yours

Everything you write with TabPug belongs to you, including the suggestions you accept. We don’t claim any rights to it, and it never leaves your Mac. Our privacy policy explains exactly what does.

AI suggestions can be wrong

TabPug’s suggestions come from an AI model. They’re usually helpful, but they can be wrong, out of date, oddly worded or not what you meant. TabPug is made for everyday writing like email, messages, notes and documents. It isn’t for producing sexually explicit or adult content, and using it for that isn’t allowed (see below). You decide what to accept and what to send, so please read before you send. Take extra care with anything important, like legal, medical or financial writing, or messages to people who matter.

The AI models

TabPug uses open AI models made by others: Qwen3.5 by Alibaba Cloud and Gemma 4 by Google. You download them from Hugging Face inside the app. They’re released under the Apache 2.0 licence, which also applies to your use of them. We didn’t make these models and aren’t connected to the companies that did.

Working with other apps

TabPug works in other apps through features built into macOS, like Accessibility. It works in most popular apps, but not every one, and another app’s update can stop it working there until we catch up. Try it during the free trial with the apps you use.

Please don’t

Our acceptable use policy has the full list of what TabPug can’t be used for. In short, please don’t:

• share, sell or publish licence keys, or try to get around the licence or the trial;
• copy, resell or redistribute TabPug;
• reverse-engineer TabPug, except where the law lets you anyway;
• use TabPug to create or complete sexually explicit, pornographic or other adult (NSFW) content, or anything that sexualises minors;
• use TabPug to harass, threaten or deceive people, or to create hateful or violent content;
• use TabPug to break the law, spam people or harm anyone.

No guarantees

We work hard to make TabPug reliable, but we provide it “as is”. We can’t promise it will always work perfectly, never have bugs, or suit every purpose.

Limits on our responsibility

As far as the law allows, we aren’t responsible for indirect losses, like lost data, lost work or lost profits, from using TabPug. Our total responsibility to you is limited to what you paid for TabPug. Some places don’t allow these limits, so they may not all apply to you.

Stopping

You can stop using TabPug any time: uninstall it from its Settings and it removes everything it kept on your Mac. We can end your licence if you seriously break these terms, for example by sharing your key or using TabPug for NSFW content.

The law

These terms are governed by the laws of India, and disputes go to the courts of India. If you’re a consumer, you keep any rights the law where you live gives you.

Changes

If we change these terms, we’ll update the date at the top. For bigger changes, we’ll let you know on this site and in the app. The terms in place when you bought still apply to that purchase.
