Loopaper — Terms of Use & End-User License Agreement

Last updated: June 2026

These Terms of Use and End-User License Agreement (together, the "Terms") are a legal agreement between you ("you" or "your") and Mohammad Aljarad, the developer of Loopaper ("Loopaper," "we," "us," or "our"). They govern your download and use of the Loopaper application for macOS (the "App") and your use of the Loopaper website (the "Site"). Please read them carefully. Plain-language summaries appear throughout for convenience, but the full text of each section controls.
Loopaper is a native macOS menu-bar app that turns any video into a smooth, efficient, forever-looping live wallpaper across all of your displays.

1. Acceptance of these Terms

By downloading, installing, or using the App, or by using the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not download, install, or use the App or the Site.

If you are using the App on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms, and "you" refers to both you and that organization.

You must be old enough to form a binding contract in your jurisdiction to use the App.

In short: using Loopaper means you accept these Terms.

2. License granted to you

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a personal, worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download and use the App on Mac computers that you own or control, for your own personal or internal business use.

Loopaper is a downloadable application; it is licensed to you, not sold. We and our licensors retain all rights, title, and interest in and to the App that are not expressly granted to you here.

You may not, except to the extent the following restrictions are prohibited by applicable law:

  • copy, distribute, sell, rent, lease, sublicense, or otherwise make the App available to any third party, except that you may make a reasonable number of backup copies for your own use;
  • modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works of the App;
  • reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App, or attempt to derive its source code;
  • remove, obscure, or alter any proprietary notices in the App; or
  • circumvent, disable, or interfere with security-related or licensing features of the App, including any feature that distinguishes the free tier from a paid unlock.

In short: Loopaper is licensed to you for your own use on your own Macs; please don't redistribute it, tamper with it, or try to defeat its licensing.

3. Free tier and one-time lifetime unlock

Loopaper is free to try with every feature unlocked. You can use the full app — drag-and-drop wallpapers, multi-display support, per-display assignment, playlists and schedules, the Library, the companion screen saver, and optional iCloud sync — at no cost.

The free version displays a small watermark. A single one-time purchase (a "lifetime unlock") removes that watermark, permanently, with no subscription — ever.

Purchase is coming soon. The in-app purchase is not yet available. When it becomes available, the unlock will be offered through Apple's in-app purchase system and will be subject to Apple's applicable terms and the price shown to you at the time of purchase. We will update these Terms as needed when purchasing goes live. Nothing in these Terms is an offer to sell the unlock today, and no price is fixed by these Terms.

When purchasing is available, any refunds for in-app purchases will be handled in accordance with Apple's then-current refund policies, since Apple processes those transactions.

In short: the whole app is free to use now (with a small watermark); a one-time, no-subscription unlock to remove the watermark is coming soon, and will be handled through Apple.

4. Availability and downloads

Public distribution of Loopaper is still being set up, and downloads are framed as coming soon. We do not guarantee that the App, the Site, or any download will be available at any particular time, in any particular place, or without interruption.

The App is intended for current macOS (Tahoe-era / macOS 26) on Apple Silicon or Intel Macs. We are not responsible for the App failing to run, or running differently, on unsupported or outdated systems, or on systems modified outside of Apple's intended configuration.

In short: downloads are coming soon, availability isn't guaranteed, and the App targets current macOS.

5. Your content and your rights

Loopaper lets you use your own videos, images, GIFs, and Live Photos as wallpaper ("Your Content"). You keep all rights to Your Content. We do not claim any ownership of, or license to, Your Content.

The App copies Your Content into the App's local Application Support folder on your own Mac so it can be played as wallpaper. If you turn on the optional iCloud sync, copies of Your Content are stored in your own iCloud Drive (Apple's infrastructure, under your Apple ID) and synced device-to-device between your own Macs. We never see Your Content, and it does not pass through any Loopaper servers or any third party other than Apple's iCloud, which you control. See Section 6.

You are solely responsible for Your Content and for ensuring you have all rights necessary to use it as wallpaper, including any copyright, trademark, privacy, or other rights of third parties. You represent that Your Content, and your use of it with the App, does not violate any law or any third party's rights.

In short: your videos and images are yours; we don't claim them; you're responsible for having the right to use them.

6. Privacy

Loopaper collects nothing. There are no analytics, no tracking, no telemetry, no accounts, and no sign-in, and there are no Loopaper servers. The App makes no network calls of its own.

Your videos and images are copied into the App's local Application Support folder on your own Mac. If you choose to enable the optional iCloud sync, content is stored as copies in your own iCloud Drive (Apple's infrastructure, your Apple ID) and synced directly between your own devices; the developer never sees it and it does not pass through any third party other than Apple. Your use of iCloud is also governed by Apple's terms and privacy policy.

In short: Loopaper collects nothing about you; everything stays on your Mac, or — only if you turn it on — in your own iCloud Drive.

7. Acceptable use

You agree to use the App and the Site only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You agree not to:

  • use the App or the Site in any way that violates any applicable law or regulation;
  • use Your Content, or use the App, to infringe, misappropriate, or violate the intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or other rights of any person;
  • display content through the App that is unlawful where you display it;
  • interfere with, disrupt, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the App, the Site, or any systems or networks;
  • use the App or the Site to develop a competing product by copying its features or design in violation of applicable law; or
  • use the App in any environment where its failure could lead to death, personal injury, or severe physical or environmental damage.

In short: use Loopaper lawfully and respectfully, and don't misuse it or break things.

8. Intellectual property

The App, the Site, and all related software, designs, text, graphics, logos, icons, the "Loopaper" name, and other materials we provide (excluding Your Content) are owned by Mohammad Aljarad or our licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. The Loopaper name and logo are our marks; you may not use them without our prior written permission, except to refer to the App fairly and accurately.

The App includes third-party materials provided under their own licenses (for example, the bundled Outfit typeface, provided under the SIL Open Font License). Those materials remain subject to their respective license terms, which prevail over these Terms with respect to those materials.

If you send us feedback, suggestions, or ideas about the App, you grant us a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use them to improve our products, with no obligation to you.

In short: the app and its brand are ours; bundled open-source components keep their own licenses; feedback you send us, we can use.

9. Updates

We may, but are not obligated to, release updates, upgrades, bug fixes, or new versions of the App from time to time. These Terms govern any updates we provide, unless an update is accompanied by separate terms, in which case those separate terms apply.

We may change, suspend, or discontinue the App, the Site, or any of their features at any time, including the availability of any feature or of the lifetime unlock once it becomes available. We are not liable to you for doing so. You are not required to install any update, but the App may not function correctly, or at all, if you do not.

In short: we may update the App and change or discontinue features; you're not forced to update, but older versions may stop working well.

10. "AS IS" — disclaimer of warranties

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE APP AND THE SITE ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

We do not warrant that the App or the Site will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, error-free, or free of harmful components, that defects will be corrected, or that the App will be compatible with any particular hardware or software. You are responsible for backing up your own data and content; while Loopaper copies Your Content into local storage and, if enabled, your own iCloud Drive, we are not a backup service and do not guarantee against loss of Your Content.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you. In that case, any legally required warranties are limited to the minimum extent permitted by law.

In short: Loopaper is provided as is, with no guarantees; please keep your own backups of your content.

11. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL MOHAMMAD ALJARAD BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, CONTENT, GOODWILL, OR DEVICE FUNCTION, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE APP, THE SITE, OR THESE TERMS, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE APP, THE SITE, OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU ACTUALLY PAID US, IF ANY, FOR THE APP IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE LIABILITY, OR (B) TWENTY U.S. DOLLARS (US$20). BECAUSE THE APP IS CURRENTLY FREE TO USE, THIS AMOUNT MAY BE ZERO.

These limitations reflect a reasonable allocation of risk for a low-cost utility provided largely for free, and they apply regardless of the legal theory on which a claim is based. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above may not apply to you; in that case our liability is limited to the minimum extent permitted by law. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, such as for fraud or for death or personal injury caused by our gross negligence.

In short: to the extent the law allows, our liability is very limited and capped at the small amount (if any) you paid us — because this is a low-cost, mostly-free utility.

12. Third-party platforms

The App runs on Apple's macOS and may use Apple services such as iCloud Drive (if you enable sync) and Apple's in-app purchase system (once purchasing is available). Your use of those services is subject to Apple's own terms and policies, which are between you and Apple. We are not responsible for Apple's services, and Apple is not a party to these Terms; however, where the App is obtained through an Apple platform, Apple may be a third-party beneficiary entitled to enforce these Terms against you.

In short: Apple's services have their own terms; those are between you and Apple.

13. Termination

These Terms remain in effect until terminated. Your license terminates automatically, without notice, if you breach any of these Terms. We may also suspend or terminate your license, or discontinue the App, at any time as described in Section 9.

Upon termination, you must stop using the App and delete all copies of it in your possession or control. Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including Sections 5, 8, 10, 11, 14, and 15 — will survive. Any lifetime unlock you have validly purchased once purchasing is available is not affected by termination of the free license, except where you have materially breached these Terms or engaged in fraud.

In short: breaking these Terms ends your license; on termination you stop using the App; certain protections survive.

14. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and the courts of England and Wales (sitting in London) will have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute, except that we may seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect our intellectual property.

Nothing in this section deprives you of the protection of any mandatory consumer-protection laws of the country in which you reside that cannot be overridden by contract.

In short: these Terms are governed by the law of England and Wales (courts in London); your local mandatory consumer rights still apply.

15. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time — for example, when public downloads or the lifetime unlock become available, or to reflect changes in the law or the App. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top. Material changes will take effect when we post the updated Terms (or, where required by law, after notice to you).

Your continued use of the App or the Site after the updated Terms take effect means you accept the changes. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, please stop using the App and the Site.

In short: we may revise these Terms; the "Last updated" date shows the current version, and continuing to use Loopaper means you accept the changes.

16. General

These Terms, together with any separate terms accompanying an update and any third-party license terms referenced here, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the App and the Site, and they supersede any prior agreements on that subject.

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, that provision will be limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will stay in full effect. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of it. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent; we may assign them in connection with a transfer of the App. There are no third-party beneficiaries under these Terms except as stated in Section 12.

In short: standard wrap-up: this is the whole agreement, and the rest stands even if one part doesn't.
