Lore

Terms

The software is yours.

The program is MIT-licensed and free to run yourself. A hosted plan is not open yet; its terms will be published before it launches.

Last updated 3 November 2026

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 plan

Terms and privacy details for the hosted plan will be published before it launches.

Your wiki is plain markdown in a folder on your own disk. The self-hosted build has no licence check and no expiry.

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.
