Terms & conditions

These terms cover your use of Plinth, a macOS application for framing and exporting screenshots, and this website. Downloading or using Plinth means you accept them.

Plinth is supplied by the maker of the app, trading in the United Kingdom. Where these terms say "we", that is who you are dealing with.

Plinth is free to download and use. We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to install and run it on Macs you own or control, for personal or commercial work.

You may not resell, rent, sublicense or redistribute the app, remove or work around its Pro gating, or reverse engineer it except where that right cannot lawfully be excluded.

Pro is an optional one-time purchase of $39 that unlocks additional features. The price shown at checkout is what you pay, in the currency shown, including any tax we are required to collect.

A purchase grants a lifetime licence for the version line you bought and the updates we ship to it. A licence key may be activated on the Macs you personally use; deactivating a machine frees the activation for another.

Licence keys are issued by our payment provider acting as merchant of record. Sharing a key publicly, or using it beyond the activations allowed, may result in the key being deactivated.

Because Pro is a digital product delivered immediately, statutory cancellation rights may not apply once your key has been issued. We would rather you were happy than technically bound: if Pro does not do what this site says it does, email us within 30 days and we will refund it.

Screenshots you open, the images you export, and the projects and presets you save are yours. Plinth processes them on your Mac; we do not receive them, store them, or claim any licence over them.

You are responsible for having the right to use the material you frame — including other people's app interfaces, artwork, trade marks and personal data appearing in a screenshot.

Plinth, its name, its interface, the frame geometry and the background library are ours and are protected by copyright and other rights. The device frames are original drawings; they are not, and do not claim to be, the property of any device manufacturer.

Apple, iPhone, iPad, Mac, MacBook, iMac and Apple Watch are trade marks of Apple Inc. Android, Pixel and Google Play are trade marks of Google LLC. Galaxy is a trade mark of Samsung. Plinth is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any of them, and naming a frame after a device is a factual description of what the frame depicts.

We may update Plinth, change features, or retire ones that are not working. Where a change removes something you paid for, we will say so clearly and offer a fair remedy.

We may also change these terms. The date at the top tells you when; material changes will be announced alongside a release.

Plinth is provided as it is. We do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that an export will be accepted by any particular app store — store requirements change and are theirs, not ours.

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, lost profits, lost data, or a rejected store submission. Nothing here limits liability for death, personal injury, or fraud, and nothing affects your statutory rights as a consumer.

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have non-exclusive jurisdiction. If you are a consumer elsewhere, you keep the rights your local law gives you.
