Terms of sale and use

Last updated October 2, 2026.

Your license

When you buy Notchling for a one time payment of $5 you get a personal, lifetime license key, including future updates. You can use it on up to three of your Macs at a time, and move it to a different Mac by removing one on the license page. You may not resell, share or redistribute the app or your key. Keys that are shared publicly may be turned off.

Refunds

If Notchling isn't for you, ask for a refund within 14 days of your purchase and you'll get your money back in full. Refunded licenses are turned off.

Coins and eggs

Coins, eggs and pets are part of the game inside Notchling and have no cash value. Each egg hatches a random pet; the chances for each egg are shown in the egg shop. An egg always hatches a pet you don't have yet until you've found every pet of the rarity it rolled, after which a repeat gives coins back instead.

Invites

When a friend gets Notchling through your invite link, you receive coins in the app and your friend receives bonus coins. Inviting yourself doesn't count. Coins for a purchase that is refunded are cancelled if they haven't been collected yet. We may change the rewards or end the invite program at any time.

Requirements

Notchling requires macOS 14 Sonoma or later. Some reactions depend on your Mac's hardware, such as a notch or a battery.

No warranty

Notchling is provided as is. We work hard to keep it delightful and bug free, but we can't guarantee it will be uninterrupted or error free, and we aren't liable for indirect damages arising from its use.

Trademarks

Mac, MacBook and macOS are trademarks of Apple Inc. Notchling is an independent app and is not affiliated with Apple.
