Terms

The rules for using refto.one and Refto for Mac. By using them you agree to these terms.

Last updated November 5, 2026

Refto for Mac is in beta

Refto for Mac is early software. It is provided as is, without warranties of any kind, and may have bugs, change or lose features. Keep backups of what matters to you; Refto's libraries live on your Mac and we cannot recover them. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for any damage or loss that comes from using refto.one or Refto.

Refto is licensed, not sold. Except as your licence or the law allows, do not copy, modify, distribute, rent or sell the app, or reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble it. Third-party components keep their own licences, listed in Settings → About → Third-party licences, and so do the models Refto downloads, shown with each model in Settings → Models & network.

Licence codes

  • Refto is unlocked with a code. A code works on a set number of Macs at a time, two unless it says otherwise. Entering it again on the same Mac does not take another place.
  • To move a code to another Mac, remove the old one on your licences page; we email you a link to confirm. A code can remove 3 Macs every 30 days.
  • The app checks the code with refto.one about once a week and keeps working for up to 30 days without a connection.
  • A code belongs to one refto.one account. Codes we email to an address are added to the account with that address once the email is verified; a code in one account cannot be added to another.
  • A code is for you. Do not publish, share or sell it. Codes used from many networks are flagged for review, and we may revoke codes that are shared or misused.
  • When a code ends or is revoked, Refto stops until you activate another one. Your libraries and settings are not touched.

Early access and prices

While Refto is not on sale, we give free early-access codes to people who ask on the early-access page, a few at a time; we may say no or stop taking requests. An early-access code is valid for three months on two Macs. Builds released during early access keep working with it until it ends.

Prices are not announced yet; before Refto goes on sale we will publish them here, along with what they mean for early-access codes.

Your account

Keep your sign-in methods to yourself; you are responsible for what is done with your account. You can delete it at any time in your profile. We may suspend or close accounts and revoke codes that break these terms or misuse refto.one, for example by abusing the licence service.

Explore and submissions

The sites shown in Explore belong to their owners; we show screenshots and short descriptions for reference and inspiration.

When you submit a site, only submit something you are allowed to share, with a truthful title and description. We review submissions and may accept, reject, edit or remove them at any time. To list a site we visit it, take screenshots of its pages and may use automated tools, including AI services, to describe it.

If you own a site shown here and want it changed or removed, email us.

Using refto.one

Do not attack or overload refto.one, get around its limits or the licence checks, or scrape it in bulk. We may change or stop any part of refto.one or Refto.

Privacy

What we collect and why is on the privacy page.

Changes and contact

When these terms change we update this page and the date on it; continuing to use refto.one or Refto means you accept them. Questions: hi@refto.one.
