Usage Policy

This Usage Policy governs use of clickclick, including the clickclick for macOS application, the companion app for iMessage, account and support websites, command routing, automation tools, AI provider integrations, and related services (collectively, the "Service"). It is part of our Terms of Service.

clickclick is intended for lawful productivity, software development, research, accessibility, personal knowledge work, and creative workflows under human supervision.

1. Provider Policy Alignment

Your use of clickclick must comply with all applicable third-party policies for services you connect or use through clickclick. Current provider materials reviewed for this policy include:

If a provider policy is stricter than this Usage Policy for a provider-powered feature, the stricter provider policy applies to that feature.

2. Required Conduct

  • Review prompts, files, screenshots, notes, messages, contacts, and other context before sending them to an AI provider or third-party tool.
  • Supervise agentic actions and verify outputs before relying on them.
  • Maintain backups before using file, terminal, repository, note, message, or system automation.
  • Use clear AI disclosure where the Service powers an external-facing chatbot, assistant, message, publication, or customer interaction.
  • Comply with website terms, robots.txt where applicable, API terms, open-source licenses, confidentiality duties, privacy obligations, and professional duties.
  • Stop automation if it behaves unexpectedly, affects unintended targets, or could cause harm.
