I make two apps, and these terms cover both. They’re made by Will Wilson, a sole trader in England, and by using either one you agree to these terms together with Apple’s licence where it applies.

Which products these terms cover

Edmund is the capture app for iPhone, iPad and Mac, sold only through Apple’s App Store, and most of what follows is about it. Images by Edmund is a free Mac app that converts, resizes and optimises pictures; it shares the name and very little else, and you can get it either from the Mac App Store or as a download straight from me. Where a clause names one of them, it binds only that one. Everything not tied to a particular app binds both.

Apple’s licence does the heavy lifting

Because you get either app from the App Store, your use of it is governed by Apple’s standard Licensed Application End User Licence Agreement (the “Apple EULA”). That covers the licence to use the app, warranties, liability and intellectual property in the usual way, and it’s the agreement that applies if anything here and it ever disagree. These terms simply add the few things specific to my apps.

The one exception is the copy of Images by Edmund you download direct from me rather than from the Mac App Store. That isn’t an App Store purchase, so Apple’s licence has nothing to say about it and these terms are the whole of the agreement for it. It’s the same app, free, licensed to you for your own use, and your statutory rights below are unaffected either way.

What Edmund is, and isn’t

Edmund helps you capture a thought, lets on-device AI sort it, and lets you keep it or route it onward to a service like Linear, GitHub or Apple Reminders. It’s a tool to organise your own notes. It is not a backup service, and the AI’s suggestions (the title, type, project or classification it proposes) are best-effort help, not advice or a guarantee. Keep your own copy of anything you can’t afford to lose, and check anything important before you rely on it.

What Images by Edmund is, and isn’t

Images by Edmund converts, resizes and optimises pictures on your own Mac. It writes new files, and if you ask it to replace the originals it puts those in the Trash, where you can get them back until you empty it. It isn’t a backup service either, and it isn’t a substitute for keeping the original of anything you care about. Look at what came out before you empty the Trash.

Buying Edmund, and your subscription

Edmund is free to download with a generous free tier. Edmund Pro is an optional auto-renewable subscription that removes the limits; the current price, billing period and any free trial are shown in the app and at checkout. Apple handles all billing. Your subscription is charged to your Apple Account, renews automatically unless you turn off auto-renewal, and is managed (and cancelled) in Settings → your name → Subscriptions. See the Refunds page for how refunds work.

None of that applies to Images by Edmund. It’s free on both the ways you can get it, with no subscription, no in-app purchase and nothing held back to unlock, so there’s no billing to manage and nothing to refund.

Connected services and your own AI key

Edmund can send a note on to a service you already use, and as I write that means Linear, GitHub, Jira, GitLab, Shortcut, Asana, Todoist, ClickUp and Notion. Those are run by third parties under their own terms, as is Anthropic if you add your own API key for a cloud AI engine, and any costs of using that key are yours. I’m not responsible for the availability, accuracy or actions of a service you choose to connect. Images by Edmund connects to none of them.

Apple Reminders and Apple Calendar are the exception to all of that. Both are handled on your own device through EventKit, Apple’s own framework: no token, no sign-in, and nothing sent over the network. Routing a note writes a reminder or an event straight into the app you already have, once you’ve allowed the permission prompt your device puts up, and where it goes after that is whatever account that list or calendar already belongs to. There’s no third party in the middle and no server of mine involved, so nothing in this section about connected services applies to either of them.

Send to Notes is a hand-off rather than a connected service, and it is the third kind. Apple Notes gives an app no way to write into it, so there is nothing to connect and no token: choosing it hands the note to your device’s own share sheet as formatted text, and your device puts it into whatever account your Notes app already uses. Nothing in this section applies to it either, and what you keep in Apple Notes afterwards is between you and Apple, under whatever terms already cover your use of it.

Fair use

Please use both apps lawfully, and don’t try to disrupt, reverse-engineer or abuse them or the services they connect to. When you route a note to a third-party service, you’re responsible for following that service’s terms too.

Your statutory rights, and liability

Nothing in these terms or the Apple EULA removes the rights you have under UK consumer law, including the Consumer Rights Act 2015. If either app isn’t as described, of satisfactory quality, or fit for its purpose, you have rights that can’t be signed away. Subject to those rights and to the Apple EULA, I’m not liable for indirect or consequential loss; nothing limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else the law won’t let me limit.

Changes, law and contact

I may update these terms as the apps change; if a change is significant I’ll note it here and update the date above, and you’re free to stop using them if you don’t agree. These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. If you’re a consumer, you keep the benefit of any mandatory protections of the part of the UK where you live, and can bring proceedings there. Questions? hello@edmundapp.com.
