Terms of Service

Last updated 2026-10-02

TL;DR. You own every app you build with appflight, completely. appflight comes as a Mac app that runs on your machine and as a web app where you design for free and use credits for native builds on our machines. AI models can be wrong, so you are responsible for reviewing what you build and ship. Credits are described in section 7, refunds in the refund policy, and rules of use in the Acceptable Use Policy.

These terms are an agreement between you and IQ Digital LLC ("appflight", "we", "us") covering the appflight desktop application, the appflight web app ("appflight cloud"), the AppFlight iPhone and iPad app, and the appflight.dev website (together, the "Service"). By downloading or using appflight you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use it.

1. What appflight is

appflight helps you design, build, preview, and ship native iOS apps. It comes in three forms:

  • The Mac app is a macOS application that runs on your computer. It works by driving developer tools installed on your Mac, including Apple's Xcode toolchain and an AI coding tool of your choice.
  • appflight cloud is a web app. You describe an app, answer a few questions, see design options, and tap a preview in your browser. Turning a design into a real native app uses build machines that we operate, and it uses credits (section 7).
  • The AppFlight iPhone and iPad app is a free app. It opens your own designs full screen on your phone so you can try them by hand. It draws a design with components that are built into the app. It is not a store for other apps, and it does not install or run other apps. The app is licensed to you under Apple's standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement, and its privacy practices are in the Privacy Policy.

2. Accounts

appflight cloud needs an account. You sign in with your email address and a one time code we send you.

  • You must be at least 13 years old. If the law where you live sets a higher age for using online services, you must meet it.
  • Give us a real email address that you control. Keep access to that mailbox secure, because whoever can read it can sign in.
  • You are responsible for what happens under your account. Tell us at once if you think someone else has used it.
  • Do not create accounts to get around limits, bans, or credit rules.

3. You own what you build

Every app you create with appflight is yours. We claim no ownership of your prompts, your source code, your designs, your assets, or the apps you ship. You do not owe us revenue share, royalties, or attribution. In the Mac app we do not receive or store your code at all. In appflight cloud we must store it so we can build it for you (section 4), but it stays yours.

Output from AI models can be similar to output other people receive, and the law on who owns AI generated material is still developing. Your rights in the output may also depend on the terms of the AI provider and on the rights of third parties in anything you add. We give you whatever rights we have in the output. Check the licenses of any assets, fonts, images, and code you include.

4. Your content and the license you give us

"Your content" means what you put into appflight cloud and what it produces for you: prompts, answers, chat messages, designs, plans, generated code, builds, previews, and assets you upload. You give us a limited license to host, store, copy, process, and display your content, and to send it to our service providers (such as AI model providers and build machines), only as needed to run the Service for you, keep it secure, support you, and meet our legal duties. The license ends when your content is deleted, except for the copies that remain as described in the Privacy Policy.

You confirm that you have the right to put your content into appflight and that doing so does not break the law or anyone else's rights.

5. Design reuse

To improve layout suggestions for everyone, we may keep a text free skeleton of a design: its layout, theme and component choices, stored as plain tags and numbers. We never use your raw design, your prompts, or any screen text or names for this. We only use a skeleton from a design that you have allowed or that has been anonymized this way, and it is not linked back to you. You can opt out in your account settings. Details are in the Privacy Policy.

6. AI features, providers, and your keys

On the Mac app, appflight does not include AI usage. You bring a coding tool you already have, such as Claude Code from Anthropic or Codex from OpenAI, signed in under your own account. That means:

  • You are responsible for having a valid account with that provider and for any fees they charge.
  • Your use of that tool is governed by that provider's terms and policies, and you agree to follow them.
  • We do not control, and are not responsible for, their pricing, availability, output quality, rate limits, or policy changes. If a provider changes or discontinues their tool, appflight's functionality may change with it.

In appflight cloud, we send your content to AI model providers (today Anthropic and OpenAI) to produce designs and code. Their terms also apply to that processing. We do not control their models, and AI output can be wrong, incomplete, insecure, or similar to someone else's. Review and test everything before you rely on it.

Your own provider key. You may add your own Anthropic or OpenAI key to appflight cloud. By doing so you confirm you are allowed to use that key this way, and you agree to your provider's terms. Charges for AI use on your key go to your provider account, not to us. We store the key encrypted and use it only to run your own builds (see the Privacy Policy). A key covers the AI only: building still runs on our build machines and still needs a plan or credits.

7. Credits and billing

In plain language:

  • The design phase. Describing your app, answering questions, picking a look, and tapping the browser preview do not need a payment. Usage limits may apply.
  • Credits pay for building. Actions that need our build machines, such as turning a design into a native app or making a change to a built app, use credits. The number of credits an action costs is shown in the app before you confirm. Some actions, such as restyling a design, previews, and fixing a failed build, cost no credits.
  • Plans and top ups. A paid plan gives you credits each billing period, and you can buy extra credits. The pricing page shows the current prices, what each plan includes, and how long credits last. Prices and credit amounts can change, and a change does not affect credits you already hold or a period you already paid for.
  • Credits are not money. Credits have no cash value, cannot be transferred, and are not redeemable for cash, except where our refund policy or the law says otherwise. Your account shows a ledger of every credit added and spent.
  • Payment. Payments are handled by Stripe. We do not see or store your full card number. Where we have to collect sales tax or VAT, it may be added at checkout.
  • Renewal and cancellation. A subscription renews automatically each billing period until you cancel. You can cancel at any time, and cancelling stops the next renewal. If a renewal payment fails, your plan may lapse and plan credits stop being granted.
  • Refunds. See the refund policy.
  • Misuse. We may remove credits that were obtained by abuse, by a bug, or by a payment that is later reversed.

8. Limits and acceptable use

We may set limits on how much you can use the Service, for example designs per day, so that it stays fast and affordable for everyone. You agree to follow our Acceptable Use Policy, which forbids malware, impersonation, illegal content, abusing credits, and trying to break out of our build machines. We may suspend or end access that breaks it.

9. Your Apple obligations

Shipping to TestFlight or the App Store requires your own Apple Developer account, and it is governed by your agreements with Apple. You are responsible for your Apple credentials, for meeting the App Store Review Guidelines, and for anything you submit. appflight can help prepare and upload a build, but we do not control App Review and we cannot guarantee your app will be accepted.

10. What you are responsible for

You are responsible for the apps you build and publish, including their content, their legal compliance, their privacy practices, and their safety. AI generated code can contain mistakes, bugs, and security issues. Review and test what you ship. Do not use appflight to build anything unlawful, infringing, malicious, or designed to harm people, and do not use it to violate anyone else's rights.

11. Your keys and credentials

When you connect a service in the Mac app, appflight stores those credentials encrypted on your Mac and uses them only to talk to that service on your behalf. Keeping your credentials safe on your own machine is your responsibility. In appflight cloud, how we handle a key you add is described in section 6. See our Privacy Policy for what stays local and what we store.

12. Beta software

appflight is in beta. The AppFlight iPhone and iPad app is distributed through Apple's TestFlight while it is in beta, so Apple's TestFlight terms also apply to you, and TestFlight builds expire after a limited time. If you use a beta, preview, or other pre-release build or feature (a "beta"), these points apply on top of the rest of these terms:

  • It is pre-release software. A beta is still being built and tested. It may contain bugs, fail, lose work in progress, or behave differently from the finished product. Keep your own backups of anything that matters, and do not rely on a beta for anything critical.
  • It is provided as is. Betas are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, as described in section 16, and the limits in section 17 apply to them in full.
  • It may change. We may change, add, or remove features, change how a beta works, or end a beta at any time, with or without notice. Features you see in a beta may not appear in a released version.
  • Feedback. If you send us feedback, ideas, or bug reports, you agree that we may use them to improve appflight and for any other purpose, without owing you anything and without any obligation to use them. This does not give us any rights to your apps or your code.

Please tell us about problems through Send feedback in the Mac app or at [email protected], or see Support.

13. Your data: export and deletion

You can export your appflight cloud data and delete your account. Deleting starts a 30 day grace period, after which most of your data is erased automatically. Some history is not erased automatically yet. The Privacy Policy explains exactly what is erased, what is kept, and for how long. Apps you have built and published remain yours.

14. Availability and changes

We try to keep the Service available, but we do not promise it will always be. We may change, add, or remove features, and we may change these terms as the product evolves. If we make a significant change, we will update the date above and, where it matters, tell you directly. If you keep using the Service after a change takes effect, you accept it. If you do not accept a change to the terms, you can stop using the Service and delete your account.

15. Termination

You may stop using appflight at any time by deleting the Mac app or by deleting your account. We may suspend or end your access if you materially breach these terms or the Acceptable Use Policy, or if the law requires it. Where we reasonably can and it is safe, we will tell you why and give you a chance to export your account data. Sections that by their nature should survive, including sections 3, 10, 16, 17, and 18, survive termination. Apps you already built remain yours.

16. No warranty

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error free, secure, or that it will produce any particular result, including that an app you build will build, run, or be approved by Apple.

17. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, IQ Digital LLC is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, or business interruption, arising out of or relating to your use of the Service, under any theory of liability, even if we have been advised of the possibility. To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability for all claims relating to the Service is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us for the Service in the twelve months before the claim, or fifty US dollars. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

18. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict of law rules, and the state and federal courts located in New York will have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute, except that either party may seek injunctive relief in any appropriate court.
