5. Intellectual Property
PocketCode and its content are owned by the PocketCode team and protected by intellectual property laws. Code you write manually in the app is yours. Code generated by AI features may be subject to licensing limitations from AI providers (see section 14).
6. Disclaimer of Warranties
PocketCode is provided 'AS IS' without warranty of any kind, express or implied. We do not guarantee that the application will be error-free, uninterrupted, or meet your specific requirements.
7. Limitation of Liability
The PocketCode team is not liable for any damages arising from your use of the application, including but not limited to: data loss, API costs, deployment issues, damages caused by AI-generated code, or any indirect or consequential damages.
8. Third-Party Services
PocketCode integrates third-party services (GitHub, GitHub Copilot, OpenAI, Anthropic, Supabase, Render, among others). Your use of these services is subject to their own terms and conditions. We are not responsible for changes, interruptions, costs, or issues with third-party services.
9. Service Modifications
We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of PocketCode at any time without prior notice. We will not be liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension, or interruption.
10. Changes to Terms
We reserve the right to modify these terms at any time. Continued use of the application after changes constitutes acceptance of the new terms. We will notify you of significant changes through in-app notifications, email, or publication on our website at least 15 days in advance.
11. Governing Law
These terms shall be governed and construed in accordance with applicable laws. For users within the European Union, the rights established in European consumer protection legislation and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) are recognized and respected.
12. Dispute Resolution
Any dispute related to these terms will first be addressed by good-faith contact at [email protected]. If it cannot be resolved, EU consumers may bring proceedings in the courts of their domicile (Regulation (EU) 1215/2012, arts. 17–19) and may also submit the dispute to the European Commission's Online Dispute Resolution platform at https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr — our email for that platform is [email protected]. For all other users, exclusive jurisdiction lies with the courts of our registered office in Spain, except where mandatory consumer law in your jurisdiction grants you alternative fora.
13. Subscriptions and Premium Plans
PocketCode operates under a freemium model. Basic features are free, while advanced features require an active subscription.
Subscription prices are displayed in the app and renew automatically at the end of each billing period unless cancelled
Free trial periods, if offered, will convert to a paid subscription upon completion unless cancelled beforehand
You can cancel your subscription at any time from Google Play settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period and you will retain access until that date
Refunds are handled through Google Play Store policies. PocketCode does not process payments directly. EU consumers have a 14-day right of withdrawal under Directive 2011/83/EU; however, per art. 16(m) of that Directive (art. 103.m of Spanish TRLGDCU) the right does not apply once digital content delivery has begun with your prior express consent — by tapping Subscribe you give that consent and acknowledge you lose the withdrawal right
We reserve the right to change subscription prices with at least 30 days notice. You will be notified before the new price takes effect
If you switch to a free plan, you will lose access to premium features at the end of your billing period. Your local projects and data will not be affected
14. Artificial Intelligence and Generated Code
PocketCode integrates artificial intelligence features (including GitHub Copilot, OpenAI, and other providers) to assist with code generation. By using these features:
AI-generated code is provided 'as is' and it is your responsibility to review it before use
We do not guarantee the accuracy, security, performance, or absence of errors in AI-generated code
You are solely responsible for reviewing, testing, and deploying any AI-generated code in your projects
AI-generated code may contain patterns similar to third-party code with its own licenses. It is your responsibility to verify license compatibility
Conversations and prompts sent to AI providers are processed through their APIs. Please refer to each provider's privacy policy to learn how they handle your data. PocketCode itself does NOT use your prompts, code or AI responses to train any model, ours or third-party
Important: Always review and test AI-generated code before using it in production. Do not blindly trust generated code for critical applications.
15. Data Protection and GDPR
We are committed to protecting your personal data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable privacy laws.
The legal basis for processing your data is your explicit consent and our legitimate interest in improving the service
We only collect minimal necessary data: anonymized analytics, error reports, and performance metrics. We never access the content of your code
You have the right to access, rectify, delete, port, and object to the processing of your personal data at any time
We retain analytical data for a maximum of 24 months. You can request immediate deletion of your data from the app settings
Some service providers may process data outside the European Union. In such cases, we ensure adequate safeguards are in place as required by GDPR
To exercise your data protection rights, contact our data protection officer at [email protected]
16. Account Termination
The relationship established by these terms may be terminated under the following conditions:
You can delete your account and associated data at any time from the app settings
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account if you violate these terms, without prior notice
Upon termination, you will lose access to premium features, cloud-synced data, and server-stored projects
Projects and files stored locally on your device are not affected by account termination
17. Age Restrictions
PocketCode is designed to be used by individuals with appropriate legal capacity.
You must be at least 13 years old to use PocketCode. Users under 16 require parental or legal guardian consent
We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If we discover that a minor has provided data without consent, we will delete it immediately
隐私政策
在 PocketCode，你的隐私是我们的首要任务。本政策透明地说明当你使用我们的网站和应用时，我们如何处理你的信息、收集哪些数据、如何保护这些数据以及你拥有哪些权利。我们不出售个人数据，也不会使用你的代码、提示词或文件来训练任何 AI 模型——无论是我们的还是他人的。
重要提示：如果你选择使用 AI Copilot 功能，你需提供自己的 API 密钥（OpenAI、Anthropic 等）。这些密钥以加密形式存储在你的设备本地，绝不会传输到我们的服务器。我们不会使用你的提示词、代码或 AI 响应来训练任何模型——截至 2026 年，我们调用的主要提供商的 API 端点默认不会将客户提示词用于训练，但你应向各提供商核实你的具体方案。
4. 第三方服务
当你在应用中使用集成时，你将受其各自隐私政策的约束：
GitHub：用于代码仓库、版本控制和 GitHub Copilot
部署平台（Render、Vercel、Railway）：用于应用部署
AI 服务（OpenAI、Anthropic、Google）：当你使用自己的 API 密钥用于 copilot 时
Firebase（Google）：分析、身份验证、崩溃报告和云存储
RevenueCat：订阅和应用内购买管理
Google 语音识别：当你在 AI 聊天中使用语音输入时，录制的音频会发送到 Google 的语音转文字服务进行转写。我们不会接收或存储该音频。
PocketCode stands on the shoulders of giants. We thank the open source community for making this project possible. Below are the licenses of the main libraries we use.
Automatically generated from the source repository on 5/20/2026. 82 components under 14 distinct licenses.
Provides TLS and crypto primitives (libssl.so + libcrypto.so). Bundled both inside the PostgreSQL engine tarball and under assets/nodejs-runtime/lib for the Node.js runtime (libssl.so.3 / libcrypto.so.3). OpenSSL relicensed to Apache-2.0 as of 3.0.
The PostgreSQL binaries and supporting shared libraries are sourced from Termux's Android port (build scripts and patches). Termux build configuration is Apache-2.0; upstream sources are unmodified.
libnode_binary.so is a custom Android build of Node.js (Termux aarch64). It runs the AI provider CLIs (Claude Code, Gemini, Codex) and the on-device dev server / linters. Its dynamically-linked shared libraries ship under assets/nodejs-runtime/lib and are extracted to the app's private files dir at first launch: libz (zlib), libcrypto/libssl (OpenSSL 3 / Apache-2.0), libicui18n/libicuuc/libicudata (ICU), libc++_shared (LLVM libc++ / Apache-2.0 w/ LLVM exception), libcares (c-ares / MIT), libsqlite3 (SQLite / public domain). All are permissive — no GPL/LGPL. The official Node.js LICENSE bundles many third-party components; their notices are reproduced in this app's notice.txt.

TinyCC (TCC)
Linked statically into libpocketcode_tcc.so. Per LGPL-2.1 §6, you have the right to relink against a modified TinyCC. The vendored source is in frontend/core/tcc/tcc-vendor/.

SQLite
Ships as libsqlite3.so under assets/nodejs-runtime/lib — a runtime dependency of the bundled Node.js binary (node:sqlite). SQLite is dedicated to the public domain, with no licensing restrictions.
Used by the optional 'Local PostgreSQL' database connection. Binaries ship as both bundled tarball assets and renamed lib*.so files. Sourced from the Termux Android port of PostgreSQL; the original PostgreSQL source is at git.postgresql.org/git/postgresql.git tag REL_18_2. All databases live entirely on the user's device — no PostgreSQL data is sent to any server we control.
Unicode collation and locale handling. Bundled both inside the PostgreSQL engine tarball and under assets/nodejs-runtime/lib for the Node.js runtime (libicui18n.so.78 / libicuuc.so.78 / libicudata.so.78).
The official PostgreSQL JDBC Driver. PocketCode uses it to talk to the embedded local PostgreSQL server over 127.0.0.1 loopback. PgJDBC is BSD-2-Clause — fully compatible with commercial distribution. Replaces a previous shell-out to psql, which transitively depended on GNU readline (GPL-3).
This list includes the main dependencies. For the complete list of dependencies, check the package.json file in our GitHub repository.
AI-generated content & safety
PocketCode displays responses generated by third-party AI models (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and GitHub Copilot) that you connect to with your own API key (BYOK model). PocketCode does not host, train or fine-tune any model: your messages and any code or files you attach are sent to the provider you choose, which enforces its own safety and moderation policies on both input and output.
Every AI response includes a control to report it. Reports reach our team and are reviewed; you can also send them by email.
Zero tolerance for child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE)
Child sexual abuse and exploitation material is strictly prohibited in PocketCode. Reports flagged as CSAE are prioritized, reviewed immediately and escalated to the relevant authorities (e.g. NCMEC) and providers where applicable. PocketCode ships no feature that solicits, searches for, generates or organizes such content.
To report AI content or any safety concern, contact [email protected].
Anthropic Claude
PocketCode does not bundle or download Claude Code (the proprietary CLI tool owned by Anthropic PBC). Claude works exclusively through Anthropic's official API with your own key (BYOK model): no binary is downloaded or executed at runtime, in any version of the app.
PocketCode does not relicense or redistribute any Anthropic software; it only sends your messages and the code you attach to the API with your key.
Your use of Claude is governed by Anthropic PBC's terms:
PocketCode is not a party to that agreement. It does not store the models or response content on its servers; your API key is kept encrypted on your device.
Source code offer: BusyBox (GPLv2)
PocketCode ships BusyBox v1.34.1-meefik as a separate native library (libbusybox.so) inside the Android terminal module. BusyBox is free software under the GNU General Public License version 2 (GPLv2).
GPLv2 §3 obliges us to deliver the complete corresponding source. We satisfy this obligation in two complementary ways:
1. Inside the app (GPLv2 §3(a) — source accompanying the binary)
Every PocketCode APK includes the same source tarball, its SHA-256 and the full GPLv2 text under assets/legal/. To copy them to your Downloads folder, open the app and go to Settings → Open-source licenses → BusyBox source (GPL-2.0) → “Save source to Downloads”. The files land under Download/PocketCode-GPL/ and can be verified with sha256sum -c busybox-source-1.34.1-meefik.tar.gz.sha256.
No internet connection required — the source travels with the binary.
2. From this website (GPLv2 §3(b) — written offer)
The same package is permanently hosted here, byte-for-byte identical to the one bundled in the APK:
SHA-256 sums of all of the above and of the shipped binaries
This offer is valid for at least three (3) years from the date the corresponding binary was last distributed, per GPLv2 §3(b). Alternatively you may request the source on physical media by writing to [email protected].
Right to modify and relink (LGPL-2.1 §6)
PocketCode incorporates components under the GNU Lesser General Public License version 2.1. Per LGPL §6, you have the right to modify the LGPL library and to relink PocketCode against the modified version.
Tiny C Compiler (TCC) — vendored source unmodified at frontend/core/tcc/tcc-vendor/ in the public repo
To exercise this right, download the upstream sources or our public repository and follow the build instructions documented upstream. PocketCode does not expose proprietary interfaces that would prevent relinking against a modified version.
