日本語版はこちら — the Japanese version is the governing text (see section 12).
1. Who you are contracting with, and what these terms cover
Pluck ("the App") is a menu-bar utility for macOS developed and licensed by Wataridori Inc. (株式会社ワタリドリ; "we", "us", "the Provider"). These terms form an agreement between you and the Provider covering your download and use of the App.
Purchases are a separate transaction. When you buy a licence, Lemon Squeezy acts as the Merchant of Record: it is the seller in the payment transaction, and it handles payment processing, invoicing, and applicable sales tax / VAT / consumption tax. Your purchase is therefore also subject to Lemon Squeezy's terms of service and privacy policy. We remain the developer, provider and licensor of the App itself, and we are the party responsible for the App, for licence keys, and for support.
Our Privacy Policy and Refund Policy are part of this agreement. If there is a conflict, the Refund Policy prevails on refund questions and the Privacy Policy prevails on personal-data questions.
By downloading, installing or using the App, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.
2. Trial and licensed use
The App has two states:
Trial (14 days). Starting the first time you run the App, every feature is available for 14 days. No payment details and no account are required.
Licensed. After you activate a valid licence key, every feature stays available.
There is currently no permanently free tier. When the trial ends and no licence is active, the App stops offering actions: instead of the action panel, it shows a prompt to buy a licence. The App still launches, its settings window still opens, your existing rules are kept, and you can still enter a licence key at any time. Adding new custom rules also requires an active trial or licence.
The trial start date is stored in your macOS Keychain so that it survives reinstalling the App. Reinstalling does not restart the trial.
3. Your licence
Subject to these terms, we grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide licence to install and use the App.
A purchase is a licence, not a sale of the software. We and our licensors retain all ownership and intellectual-property rights in the App. You buy the right to use it, not the software itself.
Personal and business use are both permitted. The licence is per user: one person may use it for private, professional, commercial and work purposes, including on a Mac provided by an employer, within the device limit below.
Devices. A licence key may be activated on up to 3 devices. Each activation registers a device with Lemon Squeezy.
Changing or reinstalling a Mac. Use "Deactivate this Mac" in the App's Licence settings before you stop using a device; this frees the activation so you can use it elsewhere. If a Mac is lost or wiped before you could deactivate it, contact us and we will release the activation for you.
Organisations. One licence covers one named user. If several people in an organisation use the App, buy one licence per user. Please contact us for larger deployments.
Backups. You may keep reasonable backup copies of the App for your own use.
Not permitted: sharing, reselling, sublicensing, publishing or otherwise distributing your licence key; circumventing or removing the licence check; redistributing the App as your own; or removing our notices.
Reverse engineering. You may not reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the App, except to the extent that such acts cannot lawfully be prohibited — including analysis permitted under the Japanese Copyright Act, interoperability rights, and any mandatory rights you have under the law of your country of residence.
4. Custom actions and shell commands
The App lets you define your own actions: regular expressions that match selected text, and an action to run when they match — opening a URL, running a web search, copying text, or running a shell command.
Shell commands you configure are executed on your Mac, under your own macOS user account and with your own permissions (via /bin/zsh). They can do anything you could do yourself: delete or modify files, change settings, install software, or send data over the network.
The matched text is substituted into the command you wrote. Treat any command that includes matched text as running on untrusted input, and quote or validate it accordingly.
Do not paste rules, commands or regular expressions from sources you do not trust. A rule someone else wrote can run arbitrary code on your Mac.
You are responsible for reviewing what your actions do and for their results. We do not review, sandbox, or vouch for the safety of commands you configure.
You must not use the App to break the law, to gain unauthorised access to systems or data, to distribute malware, or to infringe anyone's rights.
Nothing in this section makes you responsible for anything beyond your own use of the App and your own configuration.
5. Actions that reach outside your Mac
Detecting text, matching it against your rules, and on-device translation all happen on your Mac. But some actions, by their nature, hand the selected text to somewhere else — because that is what you asked them to do:
Web search sends the selected text as a query to the search engine used by the action (by default Google).
Open URL builds a URL from your template and the matched text and opens it in your default browser — so the matched text may reach Jira, GitHub, or whatever service the URL points to. The default "compose email" rule opens your mail client with the address filled in.
Run command does whatever your command does, which may include sending data to a network service.
These actions run only when you choose them. Once data reaches an external service, that service's own terms and privacy policy apply, and we have no control over it. Note also that macOS may need to download a language model from Apple the first time you use translation for a given language pair; translation itself then runs on your device.
6. Updates and support
The App uses Sparkle to check for updates. With the current settings it checks roughly once a day, and on launch, by fetching an update feed from our website. You can also check manually from the menu bar.
Updates are not downloaded or installed automatically by default. When an update is found, the App tells you and asks. Sparkle's update window offers a checkbox to download and install future updates automatically; that is your choice to make.
The current version has no in-app switch to turn automatic update checks off. If you want to disable them, run this in Terminal: defaults write com.toriumi0118.pluck SUEnableAutomaticChecks -bool false
We aim to fix significant bugs and to keep the App working with supported versions of macOS, and we intend to provide security fixes where we reasonably can. A one-time purchase does not buy perpetual updates or a guaranteed support period.
The App requires macOS 15 (Sequoia) or later. Future macOS releases may change or remove the interfaces the App depends on, and a future macOS version may break features or the App as a whole. We will try to adapt, but we cannot promise that we always can.
We may discontinue the App, or a particular feature, for example if Apple removes an interface it depends on. If we do, we will give reasonable advance notice on this website. Versions you have already installed and activated keep working as long as they run on your Mac, but updates and support may end.
Support is provided by email in Japanese and English — see the contact page. We aim to reply within a few business days; that is a goal, not a guaranteed response time.
7. Purchases and refunds
Payment, invoicing, tax collection and refund processing are carried out by Lemon Squeezy as Merchant of Record. We never receive or handle your card number.
The price shown at checkout is a one-time charge. It is not a subscription and does not renew. Taxes may be added at checkout depending on your country.
We offer a 14-day money-back guarantee — see the Refund Policy, which is the authoritative text on refunds.
If a purchase is refunded, we may disable the associated licence key. Once a key is disabled, the App returns to the unlicensed state the next time it re-validates online, and the trial does not restart.
Lemon Squeezy may also issue a refund or reverse a payment on its own initiative — for example in a chargeback or fraud case — under its own terms.
These terms do not limit any right to cancel, return or obtain a refund that you have under mandatory law, including consumer-protection law in your country of residence.
8. Intellectual property
The App, its source code, its name, logo, icons, website and documentation are owned by the Provider or its licensors and are protected by copyright and other laws. Buying a licence does not transfer any of those rights to you.
The App includes third-party open-source components, which remain subject to their own licences — currently Sparkle (MIT-style licence). The rest of the App is built on Apple's frameworks supplied with macOS.
9. Warranties and liability
To the extent permitted by applicable law, the App is provided "as is". We do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted, error-free, or fit for any particular purpose, that it will detect every pattern correctly, or that it will keep working after a future macOS release. Text detection, matching and translation are automated and can be wrong.
We are not responsible for loss or damage caused by shell commands, URLs or other custom actions that you configured and ran, or by rules you obtained from a third party — those run under your control and with your permissions. We remain responsible for defects in the App itself.
Subject to the paragraph below, we are not liable for indirect, special or consequential loss, or for lost profits or lost data; and our total liability to you for all claims relating to the App is limited to the amount you paid for your licence.
These limits do not apply: (a) where the loss is caused by our intent or gross negligence; (b) to death or personal injury; (c) to liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law; or (d) where you are a consumer, to the extent the limitation would be void under the Japanese Consumer Contract Act or under mandatory consumer-protection law in your country of residence. Nothing here reduces the rights you have as a consumer.
10. Suspension and termination
You may stop using the App at any time; deactivate your licence and delete the App and its data (the Privacy Policy explains where that data lives).
We may suspend or disable a licence key only where: you breach these terms in a material way; the key is shared, resold or published; the App or licence check is circumvented; the purchase was refunded or charged back; the purchase was fraudulent; or we are required to do so by law or by a competent authority.
For a breach that can be put right, we will tell you first and give you a reasonable opportunity — normally 14 days — to fix it, unless the breach is serious, fraudulent, or the delay would cause harm. If we disable a licence in error, we will restore it.
Sections 3 (ownership), 8, 9, 12 and 13 continue to apply after this agreement ends.
11. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms — for example when the App changes, or when law requires it. When we do:
we will post the updated text here with a new last updated date and a stated effective date;
for changes that materially affect your rights or obligations, we will give notice at least 30 days before the effective date, by a reasonable means — a notice on this website, and in the App or by email where practical;
we will not retroactively reduce rights you already had in respect of a purchase you have already made; and
where the law requires your consent to a change, we will ask for it rather than assume it.
If you do not accept a change, you may stop using the App before the effective date. Continuing to use it afterwards means the updated terms apply.
12. Governing law, language and jurisdiction
These terms are governed by the laws of Japan, excluding its conflict-of-laws rules and the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.
The parties agree that the Nagano District Court, Ueda Branch shall have exclusive jurisdiction as the court of first instance for disputes arising from these terms.
This does not deprive you, where you are a consumer, of the protection of mandatory rules of the law of your country of habitual residence, or of any right you have to bring proceedings in the courts of that country.
These terms are published in Japanese and English. The Japanese version is the governing text; the English version is provided for convenience. Both versions are intended to have the same meaning, scope and limits, and if you find a discrepancy, please tell us.
13. General
Severability. If a provision is held invalid, the rest remains in force, and the invalid provision is replaced by a valid one that comes closest to its intent.
No waiver. If we do not enforce a right immediately, we do not give it up.
Assignment. You may not transfer this agreement or your licence without our consent. We may transfer it to a successor of our business, provided your rights are not reduced; if we do, we will announce it on this website.
Entire agreement. These terms, together with the Privacy Policy and Refund Policy, are the whole agreement between you and us about the App, and replace any earlier version.
Notices. We give notice by posting on this website and, where appropriate, in the App or by email to the address used at purchase. You give notice by emailing us.
