Terms of use

Plain-English terms for using Splay. They cover the free beta now and will be updated before the paid release goes on sale.

Last updated 16 October 2026. Splay is made by Henry Petch ("I"). Contact: the Splay issue tracker on GitHub.

Using Splay

I license Splay to you for your own use; I don't sell it to you. You may install and use it, but you may not redistribute it, sell it, or remove the copyright and licence notices inside it. Parts of Splay include open-source software under their own licences; their notices are inside the app.

The free beta

The beta is free to use while testing continues. It may contain faults, change or be withdrawn, and it isn't notarised by Apple yet, so macOS asks you to approve it once.

The paid release

The planned paid release is a 7-day free trial followed by a single payment of £5, with no subscription. Final purchase and licence details, including how many of your Macs a purchase covers, will be shown at checkout and added to this page before the release is sold.

Your content

Splay only redirects sound that your Mac is already playing. You are responsible for having the right to play the content you route and for following the terms of the services you use it with.

No warranty and limits on liability

Splay is provided as it is, without promises that it will be uninterrupted or fit for a particular purpose. To the extent the law allows, I'm not liable for lost data, lost profits or indirect losses arising from its use, and my total liability for the beta is limited to the amount you paid for it. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, or your rights as a consumer.

Updates

Splay checks for updates and can install them automatically. I may change these terms; the version on this page applies from the date shown.

Law

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction, except where consumer law in your country gives you the right to use your local courts.
