The agreement
In effect 22 August 2026
Remote Coder is published by an independent developer based in India, reachable at hello@remotecoder.dev — “we” on this page. Installing or using the app means accepting what is on it. If you do not accept it, do not use the app — and if you have paid for it, ask the store you bought it from for a refund.
This agreement is between you and us. Apple and Google are not parties to it. They distribute the app and take the payment under their own terms, which apply to you as well and which this page cannot override.
How the app handles information is a separate document and a separate promise: the privacy policy. Where the two overlap, they are written from the same code and say the same thing.
What you may do with it
The licence
You get a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use Remote Coder on devices you own or control, for as long as you keep to this agreement. That is a licence to use the app, not a sale of it: everything in the app stays ours.
On Apple platforms the licence is also bound by the Usage Rules in Apple’s App Store Terms of Service, including how many devices your Apple Account may run it on and how Family Sharing works. Where those rules are narrower than this page, they win.
The source code being public changes nothing here. Remote Coder is developed in the open and you can read every line, which is the point — a tool that watches your screen and types on your keyboard should be inspectable. But a public repository is not a licence: the repository carries no licence file, so all rights in it are reserved, and this agreement governs the app you installed from a store. Reading the code, building it for yourself, and taking it apart to see how it works are things we do not object to and do not restrict here.
Authorised machines only
The one rule that matters
Remote Coder is a remote access tool. It shows you a computer’s screen, moves its pointer, types on it, opens login shells on it and moves files off it. Used on the wrong machine, that is not a licence violation — it is a crime in most countries.
Use it only on computers you own, or that you have clear permission from the owner to control. You are responsible for having that permission, for anything done through a session you open, and for whatever your own employer or your network’s owner requires of you. If you are setting this up on a machine that is not yours, get that permission in a form you could show someone.
You must not use the app to:
- 01Reach a computer you are not authorised to reach
- 02Get around someone else's access controls
- 03Watch or record a person without their knowledge
- 04Break any law that applies to you
We cannot police this, and that is the point
Sessions are end-to-end encrypted and reach no server of ours, so we have no way to see what any session does — which means this rule is enforced by you, not by us. Breaking it ends your licence immediately and leaves you answerable for the consequences.
Your account
One per person
The app needs an account before any screen is reachable, and the account is what a paired computer and a purchase attach to. Keep its credentials to yourself; anything done through your account is treated as done by you. Your computer’s own access password is a different thing and never reaches us at all.
The free week, and Pro
One payment · never renews
Everything is free for seven days. The week is counted from when your account was first seen by our licence service, not from when you installed the app — so reinstalling does not restart it, and neither does putting your phone’s clock back. After it runs out the app is a paywall until Pro is bought or restored.
- 01Remote Coder Proone payment, never renews
- 02The pricewhatever the store shows you
- 03Restoring itsign in to the same store account
- 04RefundsApple or Google, not us
Pro is tied to the store account that bought it, which is how you can reinstall or move to a new phone without paying again — and why a purchase made on one store cannot be restored on the other. We never see your card. The payment is taken by Apple or Google, and only they can refund it.
If a feature is removed or the app is discontinued, a one-time purchase does not become a claim for a refund of part of it. What it buys is the app as it is when you buy it.
What we cannot do for you
A consequence, not a disclaimer
The design that keeps your sessions private also puts them out of our reach, and that cuts both ways. It is listed here as a term because it is a limit on what you can expect from us, not just a boast about the architecture:
- 01Recover a session or anything in itimpossible
- 02Recover your computer's access passwordimpossible
- 03Reach your computer on your behalfimpossible
- 04Reach it on anyone else's behalfimpossible
Nobody at Remote Coder holds a key that opens your session, so no request — yours, ours, or a stranger’s with a convincing story — can produce one.
As it is
Support · no promises of uptime
The app is provided as it is, without warranties of any kind beyond those your local law gives you and does not let us exclude. We do not promise it is free of faults, that it will suit a particular purpose, or that a connection will always succeed — a direct peer-to-peer link depends on two networks we do not run, and the optional relay for connecting from outside your network is a best-effort service that may be changed or withdrawn.
Support is by email at hello@remotecoder.dev, from one person, with no promised response time. Apple and Google have no obligation to provide any support for this app.
Liability. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for lost work, lost data, lost profit, or any indirect or consequential loss, and our total liability for everything arising out of this agreement is limited to what you actually paid for the app. Nothing here limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot be limited by law — and if you are a consumer, your statutory rights are untouched by this paragraph.
Because it comes from the App Store
Apple's required terms
Apple requires these to be stated plainly, and they apply to the copy you installed from the App Store:
- 01Not with Applethis agreement is between you and us alone
- 02Responsibilitythe app and its content are ours, not Apple's
- 03Maintenance and supportours alone; Apple has no obligation
- 04Warrantyours; on a failure to conform, Apple may refund the price
- 05Product claimsours — liability, legal, consumer, privacy
- 06Intellectual propertyours to answer for any infringement claim
- 07Legal complianceyou are not in an embargoed country or on a barred list
- 08Contacthello@remotecoder.dev
- 09Third-party termsyou keep to those that apply, carriers' included
- 10Third-party beneficiaryApple may enforce this agreement against you
In longer form, for the two that surprise people: on a warranty failure Apple’s only obligation is to refund the purchase price, and any claim beyond that is ours to answer, not Apple’s — while Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of this agreement, which means they have the right to enforce it against you directly even though they are not a party to it. If you installed from Google Play, Google’s own terms apply in the same way and nothing on this page overrides them.
Ending it
Either side
You end this agreement by deleting the app and, if you want the account gone too, by deleting the account — the privacy policy says how. We may end it if you break it, and the sections on authorised use, liability and Apple’s required terms survive the ending.
Deleting the app does not refund a purchase, and ending the agreement does not take back a payment Apple or Google has already taken.
Changes, law, and contact
India · hello@remotecoder.dev
If these terms change in a way that matters, this page will say so before the change takes effect, and the date at the top moves. Every revision is in the public git history of the site, so what changed is checkable rather than announced.
This agreement is governed by the laws of India, and the competent courts there have jurisdiction over any dispute — except that if you are a consumer, you keep any right you have to bring a claim where you live, and the mandatory consumer law of your own country still applies to you.
If any part of this page turns out to be unenforceable, the rest of it stays in force.
Questions, or a complaint
