Terms of Use
Optimo is a product of Matter Development ("Matter Development", "we", "us", or "our"). These Terms of Use govern your use of the Optimo desktop application (the "Software") and this website. By downloading or using Optimo, you agree to them.
The short version
Optimo is free to use for any purpose, personal or commercial. It runs entirely on your computer, we collect nothing about you, and we make no promises that it's perfect. Use it at your own risk, keep backups of your files, and we're not liable if something goes wrong. The detail below spells that out.
Your license to use Optimo
We grant you a free, worldwide, non-exclusive license to download, install, and use Optimo (the "Software") on as many of your devices as you like, for both personal and commercial work. No account, no purchase, no registration. This license lasts for as long as you comply with these terms.
What you may not do
Optimo is proprietary software — it is free to use, but it is not open source. You may not sell, rent, or repackage the installer as your own product, present Optimo or its name and logo as something you created, or use the Software to do anything unlawful. Beyond that, optimize away.
No warranty
THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
In plain terms: we don't guarantee that Optimo will be error-free, that it will run on your specific hardware, or that any particular file will be processed exactly as you expect.
Limitation of liability — back up your files
Optimo reads, re-encodes, and can overwrite your image and video files. Encoding is lossy by nature, and no software is immune to bugs. Always keep a backup of anything you can't afford to lose before processing it.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, MATTER DEVELOPMENT SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OR CORRUPTION OF DATA OR FILES, LOST PROFITS, OR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE SOFTWARE. BECAUSE OPTIMO IS PROVIDED FREE OF CHARGE, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIM IS LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR IT — WHICH IS NOTHING.
Intellectual property
Optimo, including its name, logo, design, and the application binaries, is owned by Matter Development and is protected by copyright and other laws. These terms grant you a license to use the Software — they don't transfer any ownership to you.
Third-party components
Optimo bundles open-source components — including FFmpeg for video and the Sharp image library, among others. Those components remain the property of their respective authors and are licensed to you under their own terms, not these. We're grateful to the people who build and maintain them.
Downloads
Download links point to GitHub Releases. Once you click a download link you're on GitHub's infrastructure, governed by GitHub's terms of service.
Privacy
Optimo collects nothing about you and your files never leave your machine. The details are in our Privacy policy, which forms part of these terms.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms from time to time — for example, when the Software gains new capabilities. When we do, we'll revise the "Last updated" date above. Continuing to use Optimo after a change means you accept the revised terms.
