Terms of Service

Last updated: May 17, 2026 · Effective: May 17, 2026

This page is both the license agreement for the Morion desktop app and the terms of service for morion.ai. One document, because the rules are simple.

Plain English

You own your notes. Morion stores them as a local data file and markdown on your disk. They're yours. You can export, copy, or delete them anytime. We never receive them.

Two tiers. Free covers local notes, tasks, kanban, and MCP sync. The paid tier adds unlimited boards, granular AI permissions, Mo work packets on your own LLM key, and the Auto-code build/review harness (closed beta). See current pricing. Subscriptions auto-renew; cancel anytime in the app.

Don't do the obvious bad things — don't resell Morion as your own, don't strip the license, don't use it to break the law.

Software is provided as-is. We back Morion, fix bugs, and ship updates — but we can't promise it's defect-free, and our liability is capped at what you paid us in the last 12 months (Free users: $0).

The rest of this page is the careful, legally-useful version of the same thing.

1. Who we are and what you're agreeing to

"Morion," "we," and "us" refer to the makers of the Morion desktop application and this website. "You" refers to the person or entity using Morion.

By downloading, installing, or using Morion — or by using the morion.ai website — you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, don't install the app and don't use the site. If you're using Morion on behalf of a company or other organisation, you represent that you have the authority to bind that organisation to these Terms.

These Terms should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which describes what limited data we and our subprocessors see.

2. Your license to use Morion

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the Morion desktop app on devices you own or control, for your personal or internal business use.

This license covers both the Free tier and any Paid features your active subscription unlocks. The license is granted — not sold. We retain all intellectual property rights in the Morion app, the Morion website, the Morion name, logo, and branding.

Your notes and other content you create in Morion are yours. This license covers the app, not your data. See §5 for the details on your content.

3. What you may not do

You agree not to:

  • Resell, sublicense, rent, lease, or redistribute Morion as your own product.
  • Remove, obscure, or alter the Morion name, logo, copyright, or license notices in the app.
  • Bypass, disable, or tamper with paid subscription checks, license verification, or any other technical protection measure.
  • Share, resell, or reuse a paid license key across more devices or people than your subscription covers.
  • Use Morion to store or process content that violates applicable law — including content that infringes someone else's intellectual property, content that is defamatory, or content that is illegal to possess in your jurisdiction.
  • Use Morion or the MCP integration to target, harass, or harm other people, or to generate content designed to do so.
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the app except to the extent that applicable law expressly permits despite this restriction.

You may use any MCP-compatible AI client with Morion. You may back up your data file wherever you want. You may contribute feedback, bug reports, and feature ideas — and if you send us those, you grant us a non-exclusive right to use them without obligation to you.

4. Free, Paid, and subscription terms

Free. The Free tier includes the full notebook, full MCP access, unlimited notes, and up to two kanban boards. There is no time limit and no hidden charge.

Paid. The paid tier unlocks unlimited kanban boards, per-folder and per-note MCP access permissions (visible / create / update / delete), Mo work packets and in-app chat, and the Auto-code build/review workflow harness (currently in closed beta). Mo and Auto-code run on the LLM provider you connect via API key (e.g. OpenRouter, OpenAI, Anthropic, Groq, or a local Ollama). You are responsible for the relationship with that LLM provider — their terms, their billing, their data-handling. Morion is not in the path of those LLM calls; we don't see prompt content.

The paid tier is sold as a subscription — current plans and prices are listed on the pricing page and shown in full at checkout. The price displayed at checkout is the price you pay; taxes are calculated and added by Stripe where applicable.

Auto-renewal. Subscriptions automatically renew each period at the then-current price unless you cancel before the renewal date. We will email you a receipt after every charge. You can cancel at any time from inside the Morion app (which opens the Stripe billing portal) — cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period.

Refunds. If you're unhappy within 14 days of your first paid purchase or your first renewal, email support@morion.ai and we'll refund you in full, no questions asked. Outside that window, payments for completed billing periods are non-refundable except where required by law.

Price changes. We may change pricing or the feature split between tiers. If we raise the price for existing subscribers, we'll give you at least 30 days' notice by email before the next renewal, and your cancel-before-renewal right still applies.

Downgrade behaviour. If your subscription lapses or is cancelled, your existing notes, boards, folder permissions, Mo's Project Memory entries, and any Auto-code workflows you composed are not deleted. Tier-only actions (creating a third board after Free, running Mo or Auto-code after Paid) become locked until you re-upgrade or, in the case of Free's two-board cap, reduce your board count. We believe in losing a subscriber cleanly, not holding their data hostage.

Beta features. Auto-code is currently in closed beta inside the paid tier and is offered "as-is" — features may change, be temporarily unavailable, or be re-scoped before general availability. We won't break your saved workflows on purpose, but the executor and node-type set are still evolving. If Auto-code's beta status changes (e.g. graduates to general availability, or moves between Paid and Free), we will say so on the Auto-code page.

5. Your content

Every note, tag, folder, task, and attachment you create in Morion is yours. You retain all intellectual property rights in that content. We claim no ownership, license, or right to use it for any purpose — including not for training, analytics, or product improvement — because we never receive it.

Morion stores your content in a local data file on your disk. We do not operate a server that hosts it. This has two consequences you should understand:

  • Backup is your responsibility. We recommend enabling Time Machine or your preferred backup tool. We cannot restore your notes if your disk dies — we don't have a copy.
  • Export is always available. You can export the full data file and your markdown bodies at any time via the app's export feature. There is no lock-in, no migration fee, and no way for us to prevent export.

If you connect Morion to an AI client via MCP (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini Antigravity, Cursor, Cline, Zed, etc.), that client may read or write to the notes you permit. You are responsible for which clients you connect and which folders or boards you grant them access to. See our Privacy Policy §3 for how that flow works.

If you enable Mo or run Auto-code on the paid tier, the task-scoped work packet from the folder Mo or Auto-code is working on is sent directly from your machine to whichever LLM provider you connect (OpenRouter, OpenAI, Anthropic, Groq, or local Ollama) — we are not in that path. Mo never sees your whole notebook; folders you have hidden from AI are invisible to Mo too. Full data flow in our Privacy Policy §7.

6. Third-party services

Morion integrates with a small number of third-party services so it can bill, deliver license keys, ship updates, run optional LLM calls, and measure aggregate traffic on the marketing site. Their roles are described in full in our Privacy Policy §§7-8. When you use those integrations, their terms also apply:

  • Stripe processes payments and hosts checkout (Stripe terms).
  • Cloudflare runs the stateless Worker that signs license keys (Cloudflare terms).
  • Your chosen LLM provider on the paid tier — OpenRouter, OpenAI, Anthropic, Groq, local Ollama, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint you point Mo or Auto-code at. You connect your API key directly; Morion is not in the path. Their terms apply.
  • Resend delivers license-key and receipt emails (Resend terms).
  • Netlify hosts morion.ai and the waitlist form (Netlify terms).
  • Google Analytics 4 measures aggregate page views on morion.ai — loaded only after you accept the cookie consent banner managed by Klaro (open-source). IP addresses are anonymised and ad personalisation is disabled. See Google's privacy policy and our own privacy policy §4.
  • GitHub Pages hosts the auto-updater manifest and signed installers (GitHub terms).
  • Any MCP client you connect (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini Antigravity, Cursor, Cline, Zed, Windsurf, etc.) operates under its own terms with its own AI provider. We are not a party to that relationship.

We are not responsible for the availability, content, or practices of third-party services, except that we choose them carefully and document exactly what they see.

7. Software updates

Morion ships updates periodically — security fixes, bug fixes, and new features. By installing the app, you consent to the app checking for and installing updates automatically. Updates are delivered as signed macOS .dmg packages hosted on GitHub Pages and verified by the operating system before install.

You can disable automatic update checks in the app's settings. We strongly recommend leaving them on — we use the update channel to ship security patches, and we will not ship an update that silently changes your data format or deletes your notes.

We may add, change, or remove features in future updates. When paid features change, §4 applies. When Free features change, we will not intentionally remove something you've come to rely on without a reasonable replacement or an advance warning in the changelog.

8. Trademarks and feedback

"Morion" and the Morion logo are our trademarks. You may refer to Morion in reviews, comparisons, tutorials, and screenshots in the ordinary course — we're delighted when people write about Morion. You may not use our name or logo in a way that implies endorsement, partnership, or affiliation unless we've agreed in writing.

If you send us feedback, bug reports, or feature requests (for example via hello@morion.ai or the waitlist form), you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free licence to use that feedback in the product, with no obligation to compensate you or keep it confidential. You will not expect payment, credit, or a response.

9. No warranty

The following section is written in emphatic language because law requires it to be visible. Please read it.

MORION AND THE MORION WEBSITE ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, TITLE, UNINTERRUPTED SERVICE, ERROR-FREE OPERATION, OR ACCURACY.

Nothing Morion does constitutes legal, medical, financial, or other professional advice, even when an AI system is reading your notes.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above may not apply to you. In those jurisdictions, our warranties are limited to the minimum duration and scope permitted by law.

10. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, MORION WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES — INCLUDING LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF GOODWILL, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR COST OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES — ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF MORION, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO MORION IN ANY 12-MONTH PERIOD WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (a) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR MORION IN THAT PERIOD, AND (b) US$50.

Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes any liability that cannot legally be limited or excluded — including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or under any non-excludable consumer protection law that applies to you.

11. Your responsibility

You are responsible for how you use Morion and for the content you put into it. If a third party brings a claim against us because of content you stored in Morion or the way you used the app in breach of §3, you agree to defend us against that claim and pay the damages, costs, and reasonable legal fees a court finally awards against us — to the extent permitted by law and reduced by any fault of our own.

12. Termination

You can stop using Morion at any time. Delete the app and your data file and you're done. If you have a paid subscription, cancel it in the billing portal (§4).

We can terminate your license if you materially breach these Terms — for example, by reselling Morion as your own product, by bypassing paid checks, or by using Morion for illegal purposes. Where the breach can be fixed, we will notify you and give you a reasonable opportunity to fix it before terminating.

On termination: the license in §2 ends. Sections that by their nature should survive (§3 restrictions, §5 your content, §9 warranty disclaimer, §10 liability, §11 responsibility, §13 governing law) survive termination. Your notes on your disk are unaffected — they were always yours.

13. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Lithuania, excluding its conflict-of-laws rules and excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Disputes that we can't resolve by talking will be brought exclusively in the competent courts of Vilnius, Lithuania.

If you're a consumer resident in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, the above does not deprive you of the protection of any mandatory consumer-protection law of your country of residence — you may bring a claim in the courts of your home country if your local law says you can. EU consumers may also use the European Commission's Online Dispute Resolution platform, though we'd prefer you email us first at support@morion.ai — we read every message.

14. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time — to reflect product changes, new integrations, or legal requirements. When we do, we'll update the "Last updated" date at the top and, for material changes, notify users on the website and — where we have their email — by email at least 30 days before the change takes effect.

Continued use of Morion after a change means you accept the revised Terms. If you don't accept them, stop using Morion and, if you have a paid subscription, cancel it for a prorated refund of the unused portion of your current billing period.

15. Miscellaneous

Whole agreement. These Terms, plus the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us about Morion. They replace any prior understanding.

Severability. If any part of these Terms is held unenforceable, the rest stays in force.

No waiver. If we don't enforce a provision on one occasion, that doesn't mean we've waived the right to enforce it later.

Assignment. You can't transfer your rights under these Terms without our written consent. We may transfer ours as part of a corporate reorganisation, acquisition, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets — your rights won't be diminished.

Force majeure. Neither party is liable for delay or failure to perform to the extent caused by events beyond reasonable control (outage of a third-party provider, natural disaster, network failure, act of government).
