These terms cover the desktop app, the phone client (native iPhone app, or any browser), and the operated push gateway at gateway.mantaui.com. They do not cover anything your AI agent does inside your tmux session — that's between you and your model provider.
Manta UI is software you run on hardware you own. The server runs under your user account on your Linux box; the desktop app runs on your Mac; the phone client runs on your phone. You are responsible for what runs on those machines and what your agents do with that access.
We do not host your code, your sessions, your files, or your transcripts. Everything you produce lives in ~/.manta/ on your box.
Devices connect directly to your box at https://<box_id>.boxes.mantaui.com — Caddy on your box terminates TLS and reverse-proxies to the loopback server. The ONLY thing we still operate is the push gateway at gateway.mantaui.com, which holds the Apple APNs key (which structurally cannot live on your box) and fans out native pushes on your box's behalf. See the Privacy page for what we store there.
POST /push from your box and delivers APNs notifications for the device tokens it has stored./register calls — abuse will get a box rate-limited or dropped.Don't use Manta UI to:
Manta UI is provided as is, without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to the warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and noninfringement. In no event shall the authors or copyright holders be liable for any claim, damages, or other liability arising from, out of, or in connection with the software or the use or other dealings in the software.
The desktop app is unsigned in beta — first launch will be blocked by macOS Gatekeeper. Right-click the .dmg in Finder → Open to bypass, or strip the quarantine attribute after install. We are working on signing for the first App Store release.
Free during beta. The desktop app, the mobile web client, and the push gateway are free to use during the public beta. When the App Store release ships, the iOS app will require an in-app subscription to cover operated-push and metering costs; the server you self-host will remain free and source-available forever. Subscription terms and pricing will be published here and in the app stores before any paid tier activates.
We may change, suspend, or discontinue the push gateway with reasonable notice (a release note on the GitHub repo and an in-app banner). Self-hosted servers are unaffected — they don't depend on the gateway for the desktop or browser paths (only for native APNs push).
What we store, what crosses the wire, and how to delete it: see the Privacy page.
These terms are governed by the laws of the United States of America, without regard to conflict-of-law provisions. Any dispute arising from these terms or your use of the push gateway will be resolved in the courts of the United States.
