Terms of Service

1. Acceptance

By downloading, installing, or using qooti, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use qooti.

2. The Service

qooti is a local-first personal media archiving application for macOS and Windows, developed by Bloot. Your library — all saved media, metadata, tags, and search indexes — lives entirely on your own device. Bloot does not host, access, or transmit your media.

3. Account and Subscription

A Bloot account is required to use qooti. You create an account at account.bloot.app by verifying your Telegram identity. No email or password is required.

qooti offers three plans:

• Free — core features, forever free.
• Pro (monthly) — all Pro features, billed monthly.
• Pro (yearly) — all Pro features, billed annually at a reduced rate.

Current pricing is listed at bloot.app/qooti. Pro subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled. You can cancel at any time from your account at account.bloot.app.

4. Personal Use

qooti is designed for personal, non-commercial archiving. You agree to use qooti solely to save and organise content for your own personal reference and inspiration — not for commercial distribution, resale, or any purpose that violates applicable law.

5. Third-Party Platform Terms

Saving content from third-party platforms — including YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and others — may be subject to those platforms' own terms of service. qooti provides a technical tool; you are responsible for ensuring your use complies with the terms of every platform you save from. Bloot does not endorse saving content in violation of platform rules.

6. Prohibited Uses

qooti only retrieves content that is technically accessible through your existing authenticated browser session. You agree not to use qooti to circumvent Digital Rights Management (DRM) or other technical protection measures, to bypass platform access controls, or to access content you are not otherwise authorised to view.

7. No Redistribution

Content saved via qooti is for your personal reference only. You agree not to redistribute, republish, sell, or commercially exploit content owned by third parties that you save using qooti.

8. Chrome Extension and Browser Cookies

The qooti Chrome extension accesses browser session cookies from your Chrome profile to enable downloads from platforms that require a logged-in session (e.g. Instagram, TikTok).

By using the Chrome extension, you acknowledge and agree that:

• Cookies are accessed only for the specific domain you are downloading from.
• Cookies are sent only to the qooti desktop app running locally on the same machine — never to any external server.
• The temporary cookie file is deleted immediately after the download completes.
• No passwords, payment details, or other sensitive data are accessed or stored.

This permission is required for the extension's core download functionality. You may disconnect the extension at any time from the extension popup.

9. Privacy

Your saved media, tags, and search indexes never leave your device. The only information transmitted to Bloot's servers is what is strictly required for account management and licence validation — your display name, Telegram user ID, and subscription status.

For full details, see our Privacy Policy at bloot.app/privacy.

10. Disclaimer of Warranties

qooti is provided "as is" without any warranty of any kind. Bloot does not guarantee that qooti will operate without errors or interruptions, that downloads from third-party platforms will always succeed, or that any particular feature will be available indefinitely.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Bloot is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of qooti.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms at any time. When we do, we will update the effective date above. Continued use of qooti after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.
