License & terms
The MIT license, beta expectations, and provider terms that apply when you use Vicode for Windows.
Vicode for Windows is beta software distributed under the MIT License.
The license
MIT means the software is provided "as is", without warranty of any kind, express or implied. You use beta builds at your own risk, and the authors are not liable for claims or damages arising from that use. The short, standard license text governs; this page just summarizes it in plain language.
Vicode's source is published to a public mirror at lowluds/vicode-windows-public.
Your files stay yours
Your projects, notes, and generated work remain yours. Vicode changes your workspace only through the edit mode you choose, and the approvals flow exists so nothing lands silently.
Provider terms apply to model traffic
When a run uses a provider — local Ollama, hosted Ollama, or an OpenAI API key — the context sent for that run is governed by the terms and privacy policy of the provider you chose. See Privacy for what is sent where.
Beta expectations
- Releases are published unsigned until installer signing is complete, so Windows may show a SmartScreen warning.
- Features can change between beta releases; the release notes record what changed.
- Model capability claims are evidence-based, not guaranteed — see the beta caveat.
