Terms of service

The terms for using Remotly.

Remotly is free, open source software that connects your phone to the herdr sessions on your own computer. We also operate a push relay so notifications reach your phone. These terms cover the apps, the bridge, the relay and this website.

Last updated 6 November 2026. Applies to the Remotly apps for iOS and Android, the remotly-bridge software, our push relay and this website, published by Inference Aftermath Private Limited, Bengaluru, India. By installing or using any of them you agree to these terms. If you download the apps from the App Store or Google Play, the store’s own terms also apply to that download.

Free and open source

The apps and the bridge are free of charge. There is no Remotly account, no subscription, no in-app purchase and no advertising. The source code of the apps, the bridge and the relay is published at github.com/inferenceaftermath/remotly under the Apache License 2.0. That licence governs copying, modifying and redistributing the software. Nothing in these terms takes away rights the Apache License 2.0 gives you over a copy of the software you already have. Third-party material in the repository carries its own licences, listed in the repository’s README and NOTICE.

Your computer, your sessions

The bridge runs on your own computer and gives a paired phone access to the terminals running there, including coding agents that can run commands and change files when you approve them. You are responsible for that computer, for the Tailscale network or LAN you expose the bridge on, for the devices you pair, for keeping the bridge and the apps updated, and for what the programs and agents you approve go on to do. Remotly does not run those programs and does not control them.

Pair only phones you control, and revoke a device you no longer trust with remotly-bridge devices revoke <device_id>. The bridge README describes the settings that decide who can connect and what notifications carry.

The push relay

Unless your bridge has its own Apple or Firebase push credentials, it sends notification requests to relay.remotly.dev, a service operated by Inference Aftermath that forwards them to Apple or Google. The relay is provided free of charge, as is, for Remotly bridges only. We do not promise that it will be available, that a notification will be delivered, or how quickly. The relay refuses requests over the limits described in the relay README, and we may change, suspend or withdraw it, or block a source that floods or probes it. The bridge works without it: configure your own push credentials, or set push.relay_url to an empty string to send no push for platforms without local credentials. The privacy policy says what the relay processes.

Acceptable use

  • Use Remotly only with computers, sessions and accounts you are authorised to access.
  • Do not interfere with the relay or this website, send the relay anything other than notifications from a Remotly bridge, or try to get around its limits.
  • When you redistribute the software, meet the conditions of the Apache License 2.0, including its licence and notice requirements.
  • Comply with the law where you use Remotly, and with Apple’s and Google’s terms for apps installed from their stores.

Remotly is a developer tool and is not directed at children under 16.

Names and marks

Remotly and the Remotly mark identify a product of Inference Aftermath. The Apache License 2.0 does not grant a licence to use them, so a modified build you distribute should not present itself as Remotly or as published by us. Apple, the Apple logo, App Store, Google Play, herdr, Claude Code, Codex, pi and Tailscale are the marks of their respective owners; Remotly is an independent product and is not affiliated with them.

No warranty, limited liability

The software, the relay and this website are provided as is and as available, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. For the software, the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability in sections 7 and 8 of the Apache License 2.0 apply. To the extent permitted by law, Inference Aftermath is not liable for any loss or damage arising from the use of Remotly, including loss of data, actions taken by programs or agents you approved from your phone, access by a device you paired, or the relay being unavailable, slow or rate limited. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law, including rights you have as a consumer that cannot be waived.

Changes and ending

We may change the apps, the bridge, the relay, this website and these terms. When these terms change we revise the date above; using the relay, this website or the apps from the stores after that date means you accept the revised terms. Revised terms never narrow the licence to copies of the software you already have. You can stop at any time: remove the paired host in the app, uninstall the apps, and delete the bridge’s state on your computer. We may suspend a bridge’s access to the relay if it breaks these terms.

Governing law

These terms, and any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to them or to Remotly, are governed by the laws of India. Subject to any mandatory rights you have under applicable law, the courts having jurisdiction over the Company’s registered office shall have exclusive jurisdiction.
