Terms of use
Last updated
Loadout is a free, open source Mac app under the MIT licence, and this website exists to describe it. The licence is the legal document; this page says the same thing in words you can read in a minute, and adds the few things a licence does not cover.
The licence is the agreement
The app and its source code are released under the MIT licence. You may use it, read it, change it, and redistribute your changes, for anything including commercial work, provided the copyright notice and the licence text travel with it. Nothing on this page takes any of that away.
No warranty, and what that means here
The app is provided as is, without warranty of any kind, and the author is not liable for any claim, damage or other liability arising from it. That is the MIT licence in its own words, and it is worth being blunt about the shape of it for this particular app: Loadout writes to, moves and deletes files in your assistant folders when you tell it to.
It takes a backup before every write and sends deletions to the Trash rather than removing them outright, and it refuses to write a file it knows is broken. Those are real safeguards and they are not a substitute for your own backups. Your configuration is your responsibility.
Free, with no obligation attached
There is no paid tier, no trial, no subscription and nothing to buy, so there is nothing to refund and no support you are owed. Issues are read and often fixed, but this is a personal project maintained when it suits, and no response time is promised.
The app may change or stop being updated. Because it is MIT licensed and its source is public, a version that works for you keeps working, and anyone can fork it.
Not affiliated with the assistants it reads
Loadout is an independent project. It is not made by, endorsed by or connected to Anthropic, OpenAI, or the OpenCode project. Claude, Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode are the marks of their respective owners and are used here only to say which tools the app reads.
Using those assistants is between you and whoever provides them, under their own terms.
Using this website
The text and the guides on this site are written to be read, quoted and linked. Quote a passage with a link back and that is fine by us. Republishing a whole guide as your own is not.
The guides describe what files do and what commands change them, and they are accurate on the versions named in each one. Software moves; check a destructive command before running it.
Changes, and the law that applies
The date at the top is the day this page last changed. These terms are governed by the law of Portugal, where the author is based; if some part of them turns out to be unenforceable, the rest still stands.
