Terms.
The rules for using Rimline, in plain words. Short on purpose.
The short version
- You can try Rimline free for 3 days with every feature on. No card.
- After that, one payment of $9 gives you Rimline and every update. No subscription.
- One license works on 2 Macs.
- You can ask for your money back within 14 days, no questions asked. See Refunds.
- Your settings stay on your Mac. See Privacy.
Who these terms are between
Rimline is made by one person, Walid, the developer. In these terms, "I" means the developer of Rimline and "you" means the person using it. By installing or using Rimline you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use it.
The license
Rimline is licensed to you, not sold. A license is for one person. It lets you use Rimline on up to 2 Macs that you use.
Please do not share, sell or publish your license key, and do not copy or redistribute the app. Please do not remove or work around the trial or the license check.
You can move a license to another Mac by deactivating a Mac, either from the app or from the Polar customer portal. Then activate the new one.
The free trial
The trial lasts 3 days. It starts the first time you open Rimline and has every feature on. It needs no card and there is nothing to cancel. After the trial you need a license to keep using Rimline.
Price and payment
You pay once, and the price includes all updates. The price you see at checkout is the price you pay.
Payments are handled by Polar. Polar is the merchant of record, which means Polar takes your payment and handles tax and VAT. Polar's own terms and privacy policy apply to the payment itself.
Using Rimline offline
Rimline checks your license when you activate it, and checks again quietly whenever your Mac is online. If your Mac stays offline, Rimline keeps working for 30 days after the last good check. After that, it needs to go online once to check again.
Updates
Every update is included in your license. The update check is off until you turn it on in General. When it is on, Rimline shows you what is new and installs only when you press Install Update.
The first launch
Rimline is not notarized by Apple, so macOS asks you to confirm the first launch. The download page shows the steps.
Your Mac and your trackpad
Rimline needs macOS 13 Ventura or later and Accessibility permission. It is made for the built-in trackpad of a Mac, and it is developed and tested on Apple silicon. It may behave differently on other hardware, and I cannot promise that it will work there.
Your data
There is no account. Your layouts, scenes, workflows, presets and settings stay on your Mac. A .rimline file from someone else can contain commands, so Rimline keeps them out unless you switch them on. You are responsible for the files you choose to open.
Support
I help with problems as well as one person can. Start with the support page.
No guarantees, and limits
I work hard to make Rimline reliable, but it is provided "as is", without promises that it will be free of errors or fit every purpose. Rimline changes how your trackpad behaves, so please try it with care.
As far as the law allows, I am not responsible for indirect losses, and my total responsibility to you for anything about Rimline is limited to the amount you paid for it. None of this takes away any rights you have by law as a consumer.
Changes to these terms
I may update these terms. The date at the top shows when they last changed. If a change is important, I will say so on this page and in the changelog.
