Sayframe terms of service

Acceptance of terms

By downloading, installing, or using Sayframe, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you don't agree, please don't use the app. These terms apply whether you use the free tier or Sayframe Pro, however you purchased it.

The service

Sayframe is a voice-to-text and dictation app for Mac. The free tier is unlimited on-device dictation: local transcription with Whisper and Apple Speech, a searchable transcript library, and text that lands in any Mac app — no account required. We built the free tier to be genuinely useful on its own, not a trial in disguise.

License

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to install and use Sayframe on Macs you own or control, for as long as you comply with these terms. You may not resell, sublicense, or redistribute the app, and you may not reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble it, except where the law gives you that right despite this restriction.

Pro subscriptions & trial

Sayframe Pro adds AI cleanup, meeting summaries and action items, opt-in cloud dictation, custom modes, and library export. Every Pro plan starts with a 14-day free trial — you won’t be charged until the trial ends.

Monthly and yearly plans are subscriptions: they renew automatically at the end of each billing period until you cancel. The lifetime license is different — it’s a one-time purchase, yours to keep. It gives you a perpetual license to the Pro features in the major version you bought; it doesn’t auto-renew, expire, or require ongoing payment.

Purchases & billing

Purchases made on the Mac App Store are processed by Apple and governed by Apple's terms. Purchases made on sayframe.app are processed by Paddle.com Market Ltd, who acts as merchant of record — Paddle handles payment, invoicing, and applicable tax. We never see or store your card details.

Acceptable use

Use Sayframe for your own dictation and transcription work. Don't use it to process audio you don't have the right to record, don't try to circumvent licensing or trial limits, and don't use the app in a way that disrupts our services or infringes on anyone else's rights.

Intellectual property

Sayframe, its name, logo, and underlying software are owned by us and protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. These terms don't transfer any ownership to you — only the license described above. Any transcripts or content you create with Sayframe remain yours.

Privacy

How we handle your data is covered in our Privacy Policy — read that alongside these terms.

Disclaimers

Sayframe is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied. Speech-to-text transcription is not perfect — accuracy depends on your microphone, environment, accent, and language, and we don’t guarantee any specific level of accuracy. Review important transcripts before relying on them.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we won't be liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of Sayframe. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim arose.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as Sayframe evolves. If we make a material change, we'll update the effective date below and, where required, let you know in the app or by email. Continuing to use Sayframe after a change means you accept the updated terms.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Türkiye, without prejudice to any mandatory consumer protection laws that apply in your country of residence.
