Swipeside — Terms of Service

Hello Good Day LLC

Effective date: November 6, 2026 (adds Swipeside Pro)

By downloading or using Swipeside, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the app.

1. The app

Swipeside is a Mac menu bar app that turns the edges of your screen into controls. When you rest the pointer on an edge and swipe or click, it adjusts system volume, dims the screen in software, or adds a warm tint. You choose what each edge does in Settings.

2. Eligibility

You must be able to form a binding contract in your jurisdiction to use the app. If you are under the age required in your country to consent to such terms, you may use the app only with permission from a parent or guardian.

3. No account

Swipeside does not require you to create an account with us. Downloading it from the Mac App Store uses your Apple ID and is subject to Apple's terms.

4. Free features, the trial and Swipeside Pro

Swipeside is free to download. Volume and brightness on the left and right edges are free to use for as long as you like.

Swipeside Pro adds warmth, split edges, the top and bottom edges, reverse direction, separate levels for each display, keyboard shortcuts and a night schedule.

  • Free trial. You can try Pro free for 5 days by choosing "Try Pro free for 5 days" in Settings. The trial is a free in-app purchase. It ends automatically 5 days after you start it, nothing is charged, and it can be used once per Apple ID. When it ends, Pro features switch off and the free features keep working.
  • Unlock. Swipeside Pro is a one-time, non-consumable in-app purchase. The price is shown in the app before you buy. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation. There is no subscription and no automatic renewal.
  • Restore. Use "Restore" in Settings on a new Mac or after reinstalling.
  • Family Sharing may be available as configured on the App Store.
  • Purchases are subject to Apple's Media Services Terms. Refunds are handled by Apple according to Apple's policies.

5. Acceptable use

You agree to use Swipeside only for lawful purposes. You agree not to:

  • Attempt to reverse engineer, disrupt, or get around the app's security features
  • Use the app in any way that could harm us, Apple, or other users
  • Send feedback that is unlawful, abusive, or contains other people's personal information

6. Feedback

If you send feedback or a feature request, you allow us to use it to improve Swipeside and our other apps, without any obligation to you. Feedback is anonymous unless you include contact details; see the Privacy Policy.

7. Intellectual property

The app, its design and our trademarks are owned by Hello Good Day LLC or our licensors. These Terms give you a personal, non-transferable licence to use Swipeside on Macs you own or control, as allowed by the App Store's usage rules.

8. How the controls work

  • Brightness in Swipeside is a software dimming layer drawn over your screen. It does not change your display's hardware backlight, and it cannot make the screen brighter than your macOS brightness setting.
  • Warmth is a coloured tint for comfort. It is not a medical device, and we make no health, sleep or eye-care claims.
  • Volume changes your Mac's system output volume. Take care with headphones; loud audio can damage hearing.
  • Some audio outputs (for example certain HDMI or DisplayPort monitors) don't allow volume changes from apps.
  • The edge areas sit on the outermost points of your screen. If you turn on the top or bottom edge, clicks on those exact points go to Swipeside instead of the menu bar or Dock.

9. Disclaimers

Swipeside is provided "as is" and "as available." To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We don't guarantee that the app will work with every Mac, display, audio device or future version of macOS.

10. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Hello Good Day LLC shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits or data, arising from your use of the app.

Our total liability for any claim relating to the app shall not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid for Swipeside Pro in the twelve months before the claim, or (b) fifty U.S. dollars ($50).

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in those cases, our liability is limited to the maximum permitted by law.

11. Third-party services

Swipeside relies on macOS features such as audio, windows and login items, which Apple may change. We are not responsible for outages in, or changes to, Apple's services. Our analytics and feedback databases are hosted by Supabase.

12. Termination

You may stop using Swipeside at any time by quitting it and deleting it from your Applications folder. We may suspend or discontinue the app or any feature where permitted by law.

13. Changes

We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use after the effective date of updated Terms means you accept them. Material changes will be reflected by updating the effective date at the top of this document.

14. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

15. Apple

These Terms are between you and Hello Good Day LLC, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for the app or its content, has no obligation to provide maintenance or support, and is not responsible for any claims relating to the app. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.

16. Privacy

Your use of Swipeside is also governed by our Privacy Policy.
