Notch Cleaner · terms.
Last updated: 5 November 2026.
These terms apply to Notch Cleaner (bundle ID dev.alma.cleaner), a macOS utility for inspecting processes, memory and network activity, finding large files, cleaning up disk space, and menu bar metrics. By downloading, installing or using the app, you accept them. If you do not, please do not use it. ALMA's general Terms apply to anything these terms do not cover, and how the app handles data is in the Notch Cleaner Privacy Policy.
1. Who we are
Notch Cleaner is provided by Albuquerque de Matos, Unipessoal, Lda (ALMA), NIPC 516746596, Rua Canto da Maya 1, 8.º, 1070-372 Lisboa, Portugal. Contact: support, support@alma.dev; legal matters, legal@alma.dev.
2. Licence
ALMA grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use Notch Cleaner on Mac computers you own or control, under these terms and, if you got it from the Mac App Store, Apple's usage rules. You may not copy, modify, redistribute, sublicense or reverse engineer the app, except where the law allows it.
3. Your responsibilities
- You choose what to delete and what to stop. The app shows you what it found and what an action will do. Nothing is deleted until you press the clean button, and pressing it acts at once on everything selected, with no further question. Categories in which a scan found something start selected and, unless you change the setting, items are deleted permanently rather than moved to the Trash. Review what is selected before you press the button, and each process before you end it. The disk scanners look in locations that are usually safe to clear, but only you know what you need.
- Keep a backup. Before you clean up, make sure you have a current backup of your Mac (for example with Time Machine). Deleted items may not be recoverable, and ending a process can lose unsaved work in it.
- Privileged features are your decision. Administrator access, Touch ID for sudo, Full Disk Access and packet capture need your explicit permission in macOS. Turn them on only if you understand what they allow, and only on a Mac you are entitled to manage.
- The law. Use the app lawfully: in particular, capture or inspect network traffic only on networks and devices you are entitled to monitor, and respect the licences of the software on your Mac.
4. Price and purchases
If the app or a feature is paid, its price is shown before you buy. Purchases on the Mac App Store are sold by Apple under Apple's terms, and refunds are requested from Apple. If you are a consumer, you keep your legal rights, including the legal guarantee of conformity of digital content (Decreto-Lei n.º 84/2021).
5. Warranty
Without prejudice to the legal guarantee of conformity, the app is provided as it is, to the extent the law allows. ALMA does not guarantee uninterrupted operation, compatibility with every macOS version and configuration, or that a cleanup will free a given amount of disk space.
6. Liability
- ALMA is not liable for the loss of files or data you chose to delete, or of work in processes you chose to end, through the app; for damage a backup would have avoided; for damage caused by using privileged features or the app in breach of these terms or of the law; or for events outside ALMA's reasonable control.
- If you use the app for a business, ALMA is also not liable for loss of profit, business or data, or for indirect or consequential damage, and its total liability is limited to the price you paid for the app.
- Nothing in these terms excludes or limits ALMA's liability for harm to life, health or physical integrity, for damage caused intentionally or with gross negligence (by ALMA or by anyone acting on its behalf), or any other liability or consumer right that the law does not allow to be excluded or limited.
7. Mac App Store and direct download
The Mac App Store build runs in Apple's App Sandbox and is updated through the Store; the direct-download build may check for updates itself. Some features differ between the two builds, and each channel's description says what its build supports.
8. Apple
If you got the app from the Mac App Store, these terms are between you and ALMA, not Apple. ALMA, not Apple, is responsible for the app and its content, its maintenance and support, and any claims relating to it (for example product liability, failure to meet a legal or regulatory requirement, consumer protection or intellectual property claims). If the app fails to conform to a warranty that applies, you may tell Apple and Apple will refund the price you paid, if any; to the extent the law allows, Apple has no other warranty obligation for the app. You confirm that you are not in a country subject to a United States Government embargo and are not on a United States Government list of prohibited or restricted parties. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them against you.
9. Changes
We may change these terms to reflect changes in the law or in the app. We publish the new version here with its date at least 30 days before it applies, unless the law or security requires a shorter period. Each use of the app is governed by the version in force at the time; if you do not agree with a new version, you can stop using the app and uninstall it.
10. Complaints, law and courts
If you have a problem, write to support@alma.dev. You can file a complaint in the electronic complaints book at www.livroreclamacoes.pt, and consumers can turn to a consumer alternative dispute resolution body (see Legal information). Portuguese law applies, without prejudice to the mandatory consumer protection rules of the country where you habitually reside; consumers may bring proceedings in the courts of their domicile or in the courts of Portugal, and businesses in the courts of Lisbon.
