Terms of Use

These terms cover the SweepLoom software — the sweeploom CLI, the MCP server, the Codex plugin, the Rust library, the desktop app (including its Mac App Store edition), and the browser companion extension — and the website at sweeploom.com. SweepLoom is built by Sergii Ziborov at Weavatrix (“we”, “us”).

By using SweepLoom or the website, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use them.

1. The license governs the code

SweepLoom's source code is licensed under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 (MPL-2.0). Your rights to use, copy, modify, and distribute the code come from that license. If anything in these terms conflicts with the MPL-2.0 as applied to the code, the MPL-2.0 wins. Nothing here takes away a right the MPL-2.0 gives you.

The Mac App Store edition is a compiled copy of the desktop app that Apple distributes under Apple's terms. Section 5 explains how that fits with the MPL-2.0.

Third-party components keep their own licenses. For example, weavatrix-scan, weavatrix-git, and mcport are MIT-licensed.

2. What SweepLoom does

SweepLoom runs on your computer. It inspects disk usage, running processes, developer projects, AI tool folders, and (with the optional companion) browser tabs. When you confirm, it can delete generated files, move files to the Trash, remove items through native tools (for example Docker, the iOS Simulator, Ollama, or rustup), stop processes from the desktop app, and discard or close browser tabs.

3. Your responsibilities

Review before you confirm. SweepLoom shows a plan first. Passing --apply on the CLI, approving an agent's apply_cleanup call with confirm: true, or confirming in the desktop app is your instruction to act on the rows in that plan. Read the plan before you give it.

Know what is permanent. Different actions have different outcomes:

• Generated build output and caches (such as target/ or node_modules/) are deleted permanently. They are expected to be regenerable, but rebuilding takes time, may need network access, and may not reproduce exactly the same files.
• Items moved to the Trash can be restored until you empty the Trash. Their space stays in use until then.
• Removals through native tools (Docker images and volumes, simulator devices and runtimes, Ollama models, Rust toolchains) are handled by those tools and are usually not recoverable from SweepLoom.
• Stopping a process in the desktop app can lose unsaved work in that process.

Keep backups. Keep current backups of anything you cannot afford to lose, especially before cleaning large folders or many items at once. SweepLoom revalidates rows before acting and refuses some paths, but these checks reduce risk; they do not remove it.

You are responsible for your agents. If you connect SweepLoom to an AI coding agent, you are responsible for what that agent asks it to do. The confirm: true gate is meant to follow your explicit approval; SweepLoom cannot verify that an agent actually asked you.

Use it only where you are allowed to. Run SweepLoom on computers and accounts you own or are authorized to administer.

4. Privacy and your data

Local only, no telemetry. SweepLoom does not require an account and does not collect telemetry, analytics, crash reports, or usage data. It does not check for updates over the network.

Network use. The CLI and the MCP server make no network requests. The desktop app connects only to a local Ollama server at 127.0.0.1:11434, if one is running, to list and remove models. The Mac App Store edition makes no network connections at all. The browser companion extension exchanges messages only with a local SweepLoom process through the browser's native-messaging channel; it makes no network requests. Cleanup actions may run local tools (such as docker, simctl, or rustup), which follow their own behavior and terms.

What it reads. SweepLoom works mostly from metadata: file and folder names, sizes, timestamps, process names, and resource usage. On the AI store path it classifies files by name and does not open secret or SQLite files. Command-line arguments are redacted before they are shown or stored.

What it stores. Settings, scan history, the last browser companion snapshot, and the Later shelf of saved tab titles and URLs are stored in SweepLoom's local app-data directory on your computer. You can delete them at any time.

AI agents and their providers. When an MCP host or Codex calls SweepLoom's tools, the results (paths, sizes, process and project details) enter that agent's context and may be sent to the agent's model provider under that provider's terms. Choose what you ask your agent to inspect accordingly.

The website. sweeploom.com does not require an account. Like any website, its hosting provider processes basic request data, such as IP address and browser type, to deliver and protect the pages.

5. The Mac App Store edition

The desktop app also has a Mac App Store edition: the same app, built to run in Apple's App Sandbox. It is coming to the Mac App Store and is being tested through Apple's TestFlight; it is not on sale yet. The full edition stays free and open source, and you can still build it from source.

Buying it. The planned price is USD 1.99. Purchases are handled by Apple through the App Store, including payment; we do not receive your payment details.

Which license applies. Your license to an App Store copy is Apple's Standard End User License Agreement (the “Licensed Application End User License Agreement”, https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/). For that copy, if Apple's agreement and these terms conflict, Apple's agreement prevails. The rest of these terms still apply to it where they do not conflict.

The source stays open. Section 3.2 of the MPL-2.0 lets a compiled program be distributed under different terms, as long as those terms do not limit your rights in the source code and you are told where to get it. So the App Store executable is distributed under Apple's terms, while the complete source code of the same app remains available under the MPL-2.0 at https://github.com/Weavatrix/sweeploom. Apple's terms do not reduce your rights in that source. Settings → About in the app says the same and links to it.

Refunds. Refunds for App Store purchases are handled by Apple, not by us. Request one at https://reportaproblem.apple.com.

What it can reach. The App Store edition works only inside folders you grant with the macOS folder picker. It remembers each grant as a security-scoped bookmark stored in its own app container, and you can remove a grant in Settings at any time. It moves items to the Trash through macOS, reads Git state from the repository files itself, starts no other programs, and makes no network connections. Features that need more access than the sandbox allows (Sessions and stopping processes, Docker, iOS Simulator devices and runtimes, the browser companion, Ollama models, Rust toolchain removal, and the CLI and MCP server) are only in the full edition.

You still review every cleanup. Section 3 applies in full. A folder grant lets SweepLoom read and clean inside that folder after you confirm; it does not make a cleanup safe. Generated output is still deleted permanently. Inside the sandbox, macOS does not let SweepLoom see which other apps are running, so it cannot tell whether a build, simulator, or app is using a file: quit them before you confirm.

No data collection. The App Store edition collects no data and contains no analytics. Apple processes purchase and download data under its own privacy policy; see our Privacy Policy.

6. No warranty

SweepLoom and the website are provided “as is”, without warranty of any kind, express, implied, or statutory, consistent with Section 6 of the MPL-2.0. This includes, without limitation, any warranty that the software is free of defects, merchantable, fit for a particular purpose, or non-infringing.

In particular, we do not promise that classifications and recommendations are correct for your files, that reported sizes are exact, that a cleanup frees a particular amount of space, that a benchmark reproduces on your machine, or that the software works with every version of the third-party tools it inspects. The entire risk as to the quality and performance of the software is with you.

7. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, and consistent with Section 7 of the MPL-2.0, neither Weavatrix nor any contributor is liable to you for any direct, indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages of any kind, including loss of data, lost work, lost profits, loss of goodwill, work stoppage, or computer failure or malfunction, arising from your use of, or inability to use, SweepLoom or the website — even if we were told such damages were possible.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages. Where that applies, our liability is limited to the smallest amount the law allows.

8. Acceptable use

When you use SweepLoom or the website, do not:

• use SweepLoom to delete, alter, or disrupt data, processes, or systems you are not authorized to manage;
• attack, overload, or try to gain unauthorized access to the website or the infrastructure behind it;
• present a modified version of SweepLoom as the official Weavatrix release, or use the SweepLoom or Weavatrix names in a way that suggests endorsement you do not have;
• use SweepLoom or the website in violation of applicable law.

The MPL-2.0 lets you fork and redistribute the code. As its Section 2.3 states, it does not grant rights in contributors' trademarks, service marks, or logos. You may refer to SweepLoom truthfully, for example “based on SweepLoom”.

9. Third-party products and trademarks

SweepLoom inspects and works alongside software made by others. Apple, App Store, Mac App Store, TestFlight, macOS, iOS, Xcode, Docker, Claude, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, Gemini, Grok, Ollama, Hugging Face, LM Studio, Windows, Edge, Chrome, Firefox, and other names mentioned in SweepLoom or its documentation are trademarks of their respective owners (for example Apple Inc., Docker, Inc., Anthropic, OpenAI, Anysphere, Google, xAI, Microsoft, and Mozilla).

They are used only to describe what SweepLoom works with. SweepLoom and Weavatrix are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any of these owners. Your use of their products is governed by their own terms.

10. Contributions

Unless you state otherwise, issues, pull requests, and other contributions you submit to the SweepLoom repository are provided under the MPL-2.0, the same license as the code.

11. Changes

SweepLoom is under active development. Features may change or be removed at any time.

We may update these terms. When we do, we change the effective date at the top of this file, and the full history stays in the repository's Git log. Continued use of SweepLoom or the website after an update means you accept the updated terms. An update does not change the license of a version of the code you already received.

If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest stays in effect.

12. Contact

Questions about these terms, bug reports, and security concerns go through GitHub issues: https://github.com/Weavatrix/sweeploom/issues. For a security problem, open an issue that asks for a private contact and leave out exploit details and secrets.
