In Plain English
Before the legal language, here is the short version:
- Loomwork is free to use. Pro is a paid subscription at $12/month.
- Your writing is yours. We claim no rights to anything you create.
- You can cancel Pro anytime — your writing stays on your computer.
- Don't use Loomwork for anything illegal or harmful.
That covers the spirit of it. The rest of this page fills in the details.
The Service
Loomwork is a desktop writing application for macOS, built for novelists, screenwriters, memoirists, and anyone working on long-form creative projects.
We offer two tiers:
- Free — the full editor, all five views, export, prose tools, analytics, the revision system, and more. No account needed. No time limit.
- Pro — everything in Free, plus AI-powered features including the writing assistant, continuity checker, entity extraction, thread tracking, syllabic flow analysis, and deep style analysis. Pro costs $12 per month.
Your Content
You own everything you write. Period.
Loomwork does not claim any intellectual property rights over your manuscripts, notes, outlines, character descriptions, or any other content you create within the application. What you write belongs entirely to you.
Your content is stored locally on your device. We never have access to it, and we never see it. There is no cloud sync, no server-side copy, no backup on our end.
When you use AI-powered features (available in Pro), your content is processed transiently to generate results. It is not retained, stored, logged, or used for model training. Once the response is delivered, the data is gone.
Accounts and Subscriptions
The free version of Loomwork requires no account. Download it, open it, and start writing.
Pro requires an account, which uses your email address and passwordless login. We keep your account details minimal by design.
Billing
- Pro subscription: $12 per month, billed monthly.
- You can cancel anytime. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period — you keep Pro access until then.
- We do not offer refunds for partial months, but cancellation itself is immediate and requires no explanation.
- We may change pricing in the future. If we do, we will give existing subscribers at least 30 days notice before any price change applies to their account.
Acceptable Use
Loomwork is designed for writing, editing, and creative work. We ask that you use it accordingly:
- Do not attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or extract the application's source code.
- Do not use AI features to generate content that violates laws or is intended to harm others.
- Do not share your Pro account credentials with others.
- Do not attempt to circumvent usage limits or manipulate the subscription system.
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms, though we will always attempt to reach out and resolve issues before taking that step.
Intellectual Property
There are two distinct categories of intellectual property here, and they do not overlap:
- Ours. Loomwork — the application, its design, branding, interface, documentation, and underlying code — is our intellectual property, protected by copyright and applicable laws.
- Yours. Everything you write, create, and produce within Loomwork is your intellectual property. We make no claim to it whatsoever.
Disclaimers
Loomwork is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied.
- We do not guarantee the accuracy of AI-powered features. AI suggestions are tools to assist your writing process — always review and revise them using your own judgment.
- We are not liable for lost work, though Loomwork's auto-save and local storage architecture are designed to minimize this risk significantly.
- We strongly recommend maintaining regular backups of your local data files. Your manuscripts are important — treat them accordingly.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability to you for any claims arising from or related to your use of Loomwork is limited to the amount you have paid us in the twelve months preceding the claim.
We are not liable for lost manuscripts, missed deadlines, interrupted writing sessions, or any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the application.
Changes to These Terms
We may update these terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page.
For material changes, we will notify Pro subscribers by email. Your continued use of Loomwork after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
Governing Law
These terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
Dispute Resolution
We would rather talk things out than lawyer up. If a dispute arises, here is how we handle it:
- Informal resolution first. Before filing any formal proceeding, contact us at hello@loomwork.app. We will work with you in good faith to resolve the issue. Both parties agree to attempt informal resolution for at least 30 days before pursuing other remedies.
- Binding arbitration. If we cannot resolve the dispute informally within 30 days, it shall be settled by binding arbitration administered by JAMS under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures. The arbitration will take place in California, and the arbitrator’s decision will be final and enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction.
- Exception for intellectual property. Either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in court for claims related to intellectual property infringement, without first going through arbitration.
- Small claims exception. Either party may bring qualifying claims in small claims court.
Class action waiver: All disputes must be brought in an individual capacity, not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, consolidated, or representative proceeding. You agree to waive any right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration.
Export Controls
Loomwork may be subject to United States export control laws and regulations. You agree not to export, re-export, or transfer the software to any country, entity, or person prohibited by applicable export control laws, including any country subject to a U.S. government embargo.
