Terms of service
This page lays out what you can expect from AppTorents and what I expect from you in return. If you use the site — browsing, creating an account, commenting — you accept these terms. If you do not agree, please stop using the site.
- The catalog lists third‑party software. Names, logos, and trademarks belong to their owners. The developer, not AppTorents, supports the app.
- App descriptions reflect my personal notes and research. They are not a guarantee that a program will run on your particular Mac.
- Terms can change. I will update the “Last revised” line at the bottom when they do. Checking back is your responsibility.
- Keep comments civil. No abuse, no sharing other people’s private data, no spam or links to malware, no impersonation.
- Comments are moderated. I can decline or remove them without debate. Your comment will show as “awaiting moderation” until I approve it.
- Accounts: one per person, a real email address, and keep your password private.
Third‑party software and links
Every program, game, and plugin listed on AppTorents is a third‑party product. I do not own or develop them. The developer’s name, trademark, and branding belong to them. Download links take you to the developer’s own site or distribution channel.
Support questions, bug reports, and refund requests go to the developer — not to [email protected]. I use these tools myself and write practical notes to save you time, but I cannot troubleshoot them on the developer’s behalf.
Catalog information
Each program page lists version, file size, compatibility, and install notes. Older builds stay listed for older Macs. All of this is information I have gathered while testing and consulting. It is accurate to the best of my knowledge at the time of writing, but I do not promise that a given build will install or run perfectly on your specific macOS version, hardware, or setup.
Treat the catalog as a consultant’s curated notebook — researched, organized, and opinionated — not a warranty.
Changes to the terms
I revise these terms when the site or its rules need to change. The current version is always on this page. I update the date at the end to make tracking easy. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the new terms.
Comment rules
Comments let you share useful details about an app or a workflow. To keep them worth reading, I enforce a few hard rules:
- No abuse. No personal attacks, harassment, hate speech, or threats.
- No other people’s private data. Do not post phone numbers, addresses, email addresses that are not your own, or anything else that belongs to someone else.
- No spam or links to malware. Promotional posts, repetitive copy, and deceptive links are prohibited.
- No impersonation. Do not pretend to be a developer, another user, or anyone else.
Moderation
Every comment is held for review before it appears publicly. You will see your own comment marked awaiting moderation until I approve it. I read every submission, but I do not guarantee a reply or a turnaround time.
I reserve the right to decline or remove any comment, for any reason, without debate. If your comment does not appear, it was moderated — that is the final word.
Accounts
You can browse the catalog without an account. Creating a free account lets you save programs to your favourites, get on‑site notifications when a saved program is updated, and post comments.
Account rules are simple:
- One account per person.
- Use a real email address you control.
- Keep your password private. You are responsible for anything that happens under your account.
If you suspect someone else has accessed your account, change your password immediately and contact [email protected].
Questions about these terms are welcome at [email protected].
