Terms and Conditions
Last Updated: October 19, 2026
Introduction
These Terms and Conditions are an agreement between you and Artur Gorbaczewski (the “Developer”, “we”, “us”) for MDash, formerly published as “MarkdownEditor” (the “Application”). By using the Application you agree to these Terms and Conditions and to Apple’s Licensed Application End User License Agreement (“Apple EULA”). Where these Terms and Conditions and the Apple EULA differ, these Terms and Conditions apply to the extent the Apple EULA allows.
1. The Application
MDash is a Markdown notes app for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Vision Pro, Apple Watch and Apple TV. Writing, previewing, folders, tags, smart folders, sketches, note reminders, photo text search, document scanning, version history, import, Mermaid diagrams (with a small watermark), and export to Markdown (.md) and plain text (.txt) are free. MDash Pro is an optional upgrade that adds:
- iCloud sync across your devices, through your own private iCloud database
- More export formats: TextBundle, RTF, PDF, JPG, HTML, DOCX and ePub
- Mermaid diagrams without the watermark
- Apple Watch and Apple TV readers for your synced notes
- Locked notes behind Face ID, Touch ID, Optic ID or your device passcode
- Home Screen widgets, including the interactive checklist and Reminders widgets
- The MCP server on Mac, so an AI assistant you choose can work with your notes
We may add, change or remove features at any time.
2. License
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the Application on Apple devices you own or control, as permitted by the App Store’s Usage Rules (including Family Sharing). You may not copy, modify, reverse engineer, resell or redistribute the Application, or use it to build a competing product.
3. MDash Pro: Monthly, Yearly or Lifetime
3.1 Ways to buy
MDash Pro is sold through Apple’s App Store as:
- MDash Pro Yearly: an auto-renewing subscription billed once a year. If your Apple Account is eligible, it starts with a 7-day free trial.
- MDash Pro Monthly: an auto-renewing subscription billed once a month, with no free trial.
- MDash Pro Lifetime: a single, one-time payment with no renewal.
All three unlock the same features. The price of each, in your currency and including any applicable taxes, is shown in the Application and by Apple before you confirm.
Promotional prices: from time to time we may offer a lower price for a limited time. The Application shows the promotional price, the regular price and how long the lower price applies before you confirm. Where a promotional subscription price is described as staying for as long as you stay subscribed, your subscription keeps renewing at that price until it is cancelled or lapses; a subscription started later is charged the price current at that time. A purchase made before or after a sale is not adjusted to the sale price.
3.2 Subscriptions (monthly and yearly)
- Free trial (yearly only): eligibility is decided by Apple, normally once per Apple Account. Unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends, the yearly subscription starts and the yearly price is charged to your Apple Account when the trial ends. If you cancel during the trial you are not charged; under Apple’s rules, Pro access may end as soon as you cancel.
- Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase, or when the free trial ends.
- Auto-renewal: the subscription renews automatically each month or year, at the then-current price (or the promotional price you were promised, see Section 3.1), unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Apple charges the renewal within the 24 hours before the period ends.
- Switching plans: you can move between Monthly and Yearly in your Apple Account subscription settings; Apple decides when the change takes effect.
- Managing and cancelling: in Settings → your name → Subscriptions, at https://apps.apple.com/account/subscriptions, or through “Manage Subscription” in the Application. Deleting the Application does not cancel a subscription. Cancelling takes effect at the end of the current period; you keep MDash Pro until then.
- Price changes: Apple tells you in advance and, where required, asks for your consent.
- Buying Lifetime while subscribed does not cancel the subscription or a free trial; cancel it yourself in your Apple Account settings to avoid further charges.
Subscriptions are sold and billed by Apple under the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.
3.3 When MDash Pro ends
We never delete your notes because a subscription ends. Notes on your iPhone, iPad, Mac or Apple Vision Pro stay on the device and remain fully editable, and data already in your private iCloud database stays there. iCloud sync and the Apple Watch and Apple TV readers stop updating, widgets and the MCP server stop working, and you cannot lock more notes until MDash Pro is active again. Notes you already locked stay locked and can still be unlocked.
3.4 Refunds
Refunds are handled by Apple, not by us: visit https://reportaproblem.apple.com, sign in, find the MDash purchase and choose “Request a Refund”. Apple decides under its own policies.
3.5 Restoring a purchase
After reinstalling or on a new device, use “Restore Purchases” in the Application while signed in to the Apple Account that made the purchase.
3.6 “Lifetime”
Lifetime means access to MDash Pro for as long as the Application is available and works on your device. If we ever discontinue the Application, your access continues until it stops working on your device, and we stop offering new subscription periods.
4. Your Notes
4.1 Ownership and responsibility
The notes, photos, sketches and other content you create are yours, and we claim no ownership of them. You are responsible for what you store in the Application and for having the right to use it. How we handle information is described in the Privacy Policy; in short, your notes stay on your device or in your own iCloud, and we cannot read them.
4.2 iCloud sync is not a backup
iCloud sync (MDash Pro) uses Apple’s CloudKit to keep your notes in the private iCloud database of your Apple Account, under Apple’s iCloud terms. It needs an iCloud account and enough iCloud storage, and can be turned off per device in the Application’s Sync settings. Sync copies changes, including deletions, between your devices: it is a convenience, not a backup. Keep your own backups of important notes, for example with regular exports or your device’s backup. We are not responsible for iCloud availability, storage limits or Apple’s handling of your iCloud data, or for notes lost through device loss or failure.
4.3 Remote images
When a note links to an image on the internet, the Application loads it from that address to show it, and the server hosting it can see ordinary network information such as your IP address. You choose those addresses; we do not control those servers.
4.4 AI assistants through MCP (Mac)
The MCP server is off by default. When you turn it on and connect an AI assistant (for example Claude Code, Codex or Visual Studio Code), that assistant is a third-party service you choose and use under its own terms:
- you decide which assistant to connect and are responsible for the actions you ask it to take, such as creating, moving, tagging or trashing notes;
- what the assistant reads may be sent to its model provider; we do not control that provider and are not responsible for its processing or its output;
- the assistant cannot change the text of an existing note, and locked notes stay hidden from it unless you allow them;
- turning MCP off in Settings → MCP disconnects every assistant.
5. Intellectual Property
The Application, its design, text, graphics and code belong to the Developer or its licensors and are protected by copyright and other laws. These Terms and Conditions do not transfer any ownership to you. Feedback or suggestions you send us may be used without restriction or payment.
6. Third-Party Services
Purchases are processed by Apple, and RevenueCat (RevenueCat, Inc.) confirms whether MDash Pro is unlocked, using a random anonymous app user ID, under its Privacy Policy. iCloud sync and crash and hang reports use Apple’s CloudKit. We are not responsible for third-party services, which have their own terms.
7. Warranties Disclaimer
THE APPLICATION IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. We do not promise that the Application is error-free, uninterrupted or compatible with every device, that every defect will be corrected, or that Markdown renders exactly as in any particular specification or dialect.
ON BEHALF OF APPLE, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES AND LIABILITY FOR THE APPLICATION. APPLE IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE APPLICATION, ITS OPERATION, MAINTENANCE, SUPPORT OR ANY CLAIMS ABOUT IT.
8. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OR CORRUPTION OF NOTES OR OTHER DATA, ARISING FROM THE USE OF THE APPLICATION. Our total liability is limited to the amount you paid for MDash Pro in the twelve months before the claim (or the lifetime price, if you bought Lifetime). Nothing in these Terms and Conditions limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including your statutory rights as a consumer.
9. Termination
You may stop using the Application at any time by deleting it (and cancelling any subscription in your Apple Account settings). We may end this license if these Terms and Conditions are seriously breached, and we may change, suspend or stop offering the Application, or any of its features, at any time. Sections 4.1, 5, 7, 8 and 10 survive termination.
10. Governing Law
These Terms and Conditions are governed by the laws of Poland, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. If you live in the European Union, Switzerland, Norway or Iceland, you keep the protection of the mandatory consumer laws of your country and may bring claims in its courts. Consumers in the EU can also use the EU Online Dispute Resolution platform where it applies. We will always try to resolve a problem informally first: please contact us.
11. EU Consumers: Right of Withdrawal
Digital content is supplied immediately after purchase. By confirming a purchase you ask for immediate supply and acknowledge that the 14-day right of withdrawal ends once supply begins, as EU law permits. Apple’s own refund policy (Section 3.4) still applies.
12. Changes
We may update these Terms and Conditions at any time. The “Last Updated” date at the top of this page shows the latest version, and continuing to use the Application after an update means you accept the updated Terms and Conditions.
