Last updated 6 August 2026
By downloading, installing, accessing, or using Fathom Air in any form, including Beta, Experimental, and any future releases, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not download, install, or use Fathom Air.
These Terms govern your use of Fathom Air and any associated downloads, updates, documentation, or online services provided by the developer. Your continued use of the software constitutes your acceptance of the most recent version of these Terms.
Fathom Air is provided free of charge on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis without warranties, guarantees, or conditions of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the developer disclaims all warranties, including but not limited to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, uninterrupted availability, compatibility, security, reliability, accuracy, or error-free operation.
The developer does not guarantee that Fathom Air will operate without interruptions, bugs, crashes, freezes, security vulnerabilities, data loss, inaccurate readings, increased resource consumption, reduced battery life, or other unexpected behavior.
You acknowledge and agree that your use of Fathom Air is entirely at your own risk.
Fathom Air is currently distributed as a Beta release. Beta, preview, and experimental builds may be incomplete, unstable, or subject to change or removal without notice.
Such builds may produce inaccurate measurements, behave unpredictably, consume unexpected resources, or fail to function entirely. You acknowledge these risks and voluntarily assume full responsibility for using pre-release functionality.
Fathom Air reports battery and power information obtained from macOS system APIs. Charge percentage aims to match the macOS menu bar. Remaining time, wattage, power distribution, and per-process attribution are estimates that depend on system APIs, hardware, and current workload, and they may be inaccurate or unavailable.
These readings are informational only. They are not a substitute for manufacturer diagnostics, service tooling, or professional advice, and they must not be relied upon to assess battery health or safety.
Fathom Air is designed to run entirely on your Mac. It does not create accounts, does not require a login, and does not transmit usage analytics or battery data to the developer.
Apart from optional update checks against a public version.json, Fathom Air does not send your information anywhere. Any data it displays stays on your device.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the developer, contributors, licensors, and any affiliated parties shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, punitive, or other damages arising out of or relating to your installation, use of, inability to use, or reliance upon Fathom Air.
This limitation includes, without limitation, damages relating to data loss, file corruption, hardware or software failures, reduced system or battery performance, decisions made in reliance on reported measurements, business interruption, lost profits, security incidents, service interruptions, or any other loss arising from use of the software.
Where applicable law does not permit certain limitations of liability, such limitations shall apply only to the maximum extent permitted by law.
You are solely responsible for maintaining backups of your files, protecting your data, ensuring your device meets the stated system requirements, and determining whether Fathom Air is suitable for your intended use.
Fathom Air is not designed, certified, or intended for use in environments where software failure or inaccurate readings could result in injury, loss of life, significant property damage, or other high-risk situations, including medical, emergency response, aviation, maritime, industrial control, or similar critical applications.
Official builds are distributed from chopstickshq.com and the corresponding GitHub releases. Builds may be ad-hoc signed, so macOS Gatekeeper may require right-click → Open on first launch.
You should obtain Fathom Air only from these official sources. The developer accepts no responsibility for modified, repackaged, or third-party redistributions, and such copies must not be represented as official releases.
Unless otherwise stated, all trademarks, branding, logos, graphical assets, documentation, original source code, and other intellectual property associated with Fathom Air remain the exclusive property of the developer or their respective owners.
Nothing in these Terms grants you ownership of any intellectual property rights except where expressly permitted by an applicable license. Any third-party software, libraries, fonts, or components included with Fathom Air remain subject to their respective licenses.
The developer may release updates, modifications, security patches, new features, or revised versions of Fathom Air at any time. Update checks may read a public version.json file hosted on this site; this transmits no personal information.
The developer reserves the right to modify, suspend, discontinue, or permanently remove any feature, service, download, or version of Fathom Air without prior notice.
The availability of downloads, online services, update checks, documentation, or websites associated with Fathom Air is not guaranteed. The developer reserves the right to discontinue any part of the project at any time without liability.
You agree to use Fathom Air only in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. You agree not to misuse, interfere with, abuse, or intentionally disrupt any services provided through Fathom Air, nor to represent modified or unofficial versions as official releases.
The developer reserves the right to revise these Terms at any time. Updated versions become effective upon publication unless otherwise stated. Your continued use of Fathom Air after revised Terms have been published constitutes your acceptance of those changes.
These Terms shall be governed and interpreted in accordance with the laws applicable in the jurisdiction in which the developer resides, except where mandatory consumer protection laws provide otherwise.
Nothing in these Terms is intended to limit or exclude any legal rights that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law.
