These terms govern the use of the Mushroom app for macOS and of this website. Provider is Alexander Slatina; contact details are in the imprint. By purchasing or using Mushroom you agree to these terms. Mandatory consumer protection law of your country of residence remains unaffected.
Mushroom is a desktop companion that shows a pixel pet on your screen and offers gentle wellness reminders (water, breaks, food, eye strain, bedtime), custom reminders, a notepad, and an on-device chat. It requires macOS 26 or later on Apple Silicon; chat and natural-language features additionally require Apple Intelligence to be available and enabled.
Not medical advice: Mushroom's reminders and chat are for general well-being and entertainment. They are not medical, health, or therapeutic advice and are no substitute for professional care.
With your purchase you receive a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use Mushroom on up to 3 Macs that you own or control. The license key must not be shared or resold.
You may not reverse engineer, modify, or redistribute the app except where the law expressly permits it.
Sales are processed by Gumroad, Inc. under Gumroad's terms. If something does not work, write to hello@getmushroom.app first, we will try to fix it.
The optional file sharing feature stores a file you choose on our infrastructure for 24 hours and gives you a link to it. You are responsible for what you upload and for who you send the link to. Do not upload anything unlawful, infringing, malicious, or that you do not have the right to share.
We may remove any file and suspend a license's access to file sharing at any time, in particular on an abuse report. Suspending file sharing does not affect your license to use the rest of Mushroom. Files are deleted automatically after 24 hours and we give no guarantee of availability, durability, or backup: keep your own copy. To report a shared file, use the report form.
We may provide updates that improve or change features. There is no obligation to provide new features indefinitely, but we will not remotely disable functionality you paid for, except where required by law or by changes in macOS itself. Online features (weather, optional tool plugins) depend on third-party services and may become unavailable.
Reminders, notes, chats, and habit data stay on your Mac and remain yours. If you install tool plugins, you are responsible for the services they call and for complying with those services' terms.
We are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence, for injury to life, body, or health, and under the German Product Liability Act.
In cases of slight negligence we are liable only for the breach of an essential contractual obligation (an obligation whose fulfilment makes the proper performance of the contract possible in the first place and on whose observance you may regularly rely), and only up to the foreseeable damage typical for this kind of contract. Any further liability for slight negligence is excluded, in particular for lost profit, lost savings, and indirect or consequential damage.
Liability for loss of data is limited to the cost of recovery that would have arisen if you had made regular, risk appropriate backups. Mushroom can create automatic backups for you (Settings, Data); please use them.
Mushroom is a companion app for general well being. It is not suitable for any use in which a missed, late, or incorrect reminder could cause harm, including health related or otherwise safety critical purposes, and it must not be used for such purposes. Reminders depend on macOS, on your notification settings, and on your Mac being awake and unlocked, so we cannot promise that a given reminder is delivered at a particular time or at all.
Online features and third party services (weather, any tool plugins you install, Gumroad, Apple) are outside our control, and we are not liable for their availability or their content.
The limitations above apply likewise to our legal representatives and vicarious agents.
German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If you are a consumer, the mandatory consumer protections of your country of habitual residence remain unaffected.
We may update these terms for future versions and purchases. The current version is always at getmushroom.app/terms.
