The software is yours. The hosting is optional.
Two separate things, with separate terms. The program is MIT-licensed and free forever. A hosted plan is a service you may choose to buy on top of it, and can stop buying without losing anything you wrote.
The licence
Lore is released under the MIT licence. You may use it commercially, modify it, distribute it and build on it. The full text ships in the repository as LICENSE, and it governs — if anything on this page contradicts it, the licence wins.
No warranty
The software is provided “as is”, without warranty of any kind. Lore writes to your files when you tell it to, and no author or contributor is liable for anything that follows.
Concretely: keep your wiki in version control. That is good advice regardless of this program, and it is the only backstop between an editing mistake and a bad afternoon.
Your wiki stays yours
No rights in your content are claimed, granted or transferred. Lore reads a folder you point it at, on hardware you own. There is no mechanism by which anyone else could obtain your notes through it.
What agents do is on you
Lore hands your agents four read-only tools. It does not stop them writing to your files by other means, and it makes no claim to — that gate was tried, measured, and removed for being unenforceable. Anything an agent writes to your wiki is between you and the agent you gave file access to.
Hosted plans
A hosted plan is billed monthly, yearly, or once for lifetime access, and covers sync, backups, managed auth and storage, and the hosted MCP endpoint. It buys you a service. It does not buy you the software, which you already have for free, and it places no restriction on the self-hosted build.
Cancel whenever you like. Your wiki is plain markdown in a folder on your own disk and stays exactly where it is — cancelling ends the syncing, not your notes. The self-hosted build has no licence check and no expiry, so it keeps running whatever happens to your subscription, or to us.
Other people's trademarks
The compatibility grid shows the marks of the tools Lore works with. They belong to their respective owners and appear to state a fact about interoperability. Nothing on this site implies endorsement, partnership or affiliation with any of them.
Changes
These terms may change as the project does. A change here cannot reach backwards into software you already have: the copy you are running keeps the licence it shipped with, permanently. If hosted terms change in a way that matters, plan holders are told before it takes effect.
