Minus Six — End User License Agreement

Effective date: November 13, 2026

Please read this agreement carefully before installing or using Minus Six. By installing, copying or using the software, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, don't install or use it.

1. Who we are

Minus Six ("the Software") is made by Yevgeniy Tokin, Kazakhstan ("the Developer", "we"). Contact: hello@minussix.app

2. License

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to install and use the Software:

• Free trial: for 7 days from the first launch, with every feature. When the trial ends, the Software stops working until you activate a paid license.
• Paid license: on up to two (2) Macs owned or controlled by you, with every feature, for as long as you comply with this agreement.

A paid license includes every update in the 1.x version line. Future major versions (2.0 and later) may be offered as a paid upgrade.

The Software is licensed, not sold. We keep all rights not expressly granted to you.

3. Restrictions

You may not:

• share, resell, rent, lend or publish your license key;
• copy or distribute the Software except as this agreement allows;
• reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the Software, except where the law expressly allows it;
• remove or bypass license checks or the trial limit, or create derivative works from the Software;
• use the Software for any unlawful purpose.

4. Purchases, refunds and resellers

Purchases may be processed by an authorized reseller acting as Merchant of Record (for example, Paddle.com). In that case the reseller's terms of sale also apply to your payment, taxes and invoices.

If the Software doesn't work for you, you can ask for a full refund within 14 days of purchase. After a refund, your license key stops working.

5. What Minus Six does

Minus Six scans the disks and folders you choose, shows what takes up space, and suggests items you may no longer need — for example, plugin formats your DAWs don't load, Intel-only plugins, installers, caches and sound libraries.

Every suggestion is labeled "Safe" (macOS or the app that created it can rebuild it), "Review" (check before removing) or "Keep" (protected; the Software won't let you select it). Labels are recommendations based on file types and locations, not guarantees.

6. Removing files: risks and your responsibility

Removing files can cause data loss, break projects, or stop apps and macOS from working correctly. By using the Software, you understand and accept that:

1. You make the final decision. Nothing is removed until you select it and confirm. The Software only recommends; it doesn't decide for you.
2. You were warned. Before every removal the Software shows what will be moved, how much space it frees, and a warning for items marked "Review". Items marked "Keep" and macOS system files protected by System Integrity Protection can't be selected.
3. Files go to the Trash, not straight to deletion. You can put them back until you empty the Trash. The Software never empties the Trash on its own. Items already in the Trash are the one exception: removing them deletes them permanently, and the Software warns you before doing so.
4. Keep backups. Back up your Mac (for example, with Time Machine) before removing large amounts of data, especially projects, sound libraries and audio recordings.
5. You are responsible for the outcome. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Developer isn't liable for lost data, broken projects, missing samples, malfunctioning apps or plugins, or any other consequence of files you chose to remove after being shown the warnings above.

If you're unsure about a file, don't remove it. Use "Show in Finder" and check it first.

7. Full Disk Access

macOS hides some folders from apps by default — for example, Mail data, the Trash, and parts of the system and other apps' Library folders. Without access to them, sizes are incomplete and the picture of your disk has gaps.

To show the complete picture, Minus Six asks you to turn on Full Disk Access in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Full Disk Access.

• Why: only to read file names, sizes and types so the scan is complete and accurate.
• What it doesn't do: Full Disk Access doesn't let the Software remove anything on its own, doesn't bypass System Integrity Protection, and doesn't send anything off your Mac.
• It's your choice: the Software works without it, with incomplete results. You can turn access off at any time in the same place.

8. Privacy

We don't collect, sell or share your personal data or your files.

• Your scan stays on your Mac. File names, paths, sizes, your plugin list and your libraries are processed locally and never uploaded.
• No tracking. The Software contains no advertising, tracking or analytics.
• Network use. The Software may contact our servers only to check for updates and to verify your license key. These requests contain the app version and your license key, never your files or file list.
• Crash reports, if offered in a future version, will be sent only with your permission.
• Email. If you join the beta or buy a license, we keep your email address to send your license, updates and important notices. We don't sell or share it. Payment details are handled by the reseller and never reach us.
• Your rights. You can ask us to delete your email and purchase records at hello@minussix.app, unless the law requires us to keep them (for example, tax records).

9. Updates

We may release updates that fix bugs, add features or change how the Software works. Some updates may be required to keep the Software working with new versions of macOS.

10. Third-party names

Logic Pro, GarageBand and macOS are trademarks of Apple Inc. Ableton is a trademark of Ableton AG. Pro Tools and AAX are trademarks of Avid Technology, Inc. VST is a trademark of Steinberg Media Technologies GmbH. Native Instruments and Kontakt are trademarks of Native Instruments GmbH. Other names belong to their owners. They're mentioned only to describe compatibility; Minus Six isn't affiliated with or endorsed by them.

11. No warranty

THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DON'T WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE IS ERROR-FREE, THAT ITS RECOMMENDATIONS ARE CORRECT FOR YOUR SYSTEM, OR THAT IT WILL MEET YOUR NEEDS.

12. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE DEVELOPER ISN'T LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF DATA, PROJECTS, PROFITS OR BUSINESS, ARISING FROM THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SOFTWARE. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM IS LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE LICENSE.

Some jurisdictions don't allow these exclusions or limits. In that case they apply only to the extent the law allows, and nothing in this agreement limits your mandatory consumer rights.

13. Termination

This license ends automatically if you break these terms. When it ends, you must stop using the Software and delete all copies. Sections 6, 8, 11, 12 and 15 survive termination.

14. Changes to this agreement

We may update this agreement. If changes are significant, we'll announce them on the website or in the app before they take effect. Continuing to use the Software after that means you accept the new terms.

15. Governing law

This agreement is governed by the laws of the Republic of Kazakhstan, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Where your country's consumer protection law gives you rights that can't be waived, those rights still apply.
