Terms

Last updated: 2026-05-26

Oragent is a developer tool distributed for free, closed-source, maintained by an independent developer. The software is provided as-is, with no warranty, under the Oragent Free Use License — not an OSI-approved open-source license. You are responsible for what the AI agents you run inside Oragent do on your machine — Oragent is a supervisor, not the agent. The "Oragent" name, mark, and website content are not covered by the license grant; ask before reusing them commercially. The rest of this page expands those points.

The software

The Oragent software — the oragent Python package on PyPI and the Oragent.app macOS build on the official Releases CDN — is licensed under the Oragent Free Use License, version 1.0. The LICENSE file shipped with each release is authoritative; if the text on this page and the bundled file conflict, the bundled file wins.

You may install, run, and use the software, on any number of machines you operate, for any lawful purpose — including commercial use inside your own organization — at no cost and with no time limit. You may also write third-party plugins against the published plugin interfaces on whatever terms you choose for that plugin code.

The software is closed-source: it is distributed in installable form (Python wheel, compiled artifacts, or macOS app bundle), and the source code, build scripts, and internal design documents are not part of the distribution. This is not an OSI-approved Open Source license and is not a Free Software Foundation Free Software license. What you do not receive:

  • The right to redistribute, sell, sublicense, rent, lease, host as a paid service, or otherwise make the software available to third parties as a substitute for them installing their own copy from the official channels (PyPI: oragent, the official Releases CDN).
  • The right to reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or deobfuscate the software, except to the minimum extent applicable law expressly permits and forbids waiving by contract.
  • The right to publish forks or derivative works of the software. Local modifications you keep to yourself, for your own use only, are fine.
  • The right to use the Oragent name, logo, or mark to imply endorsement of a fork, derivative, or third-party product — see section 5.

The full text of the Oragent Free Use License is bundled with every release as the LICENSE file.

Operator responsibility

Oragent is an Agent Supervisor: a cockpit that helps a single human operate multiple independent AI coding agents. It does not run agents itself. The agents you launch inside it (Claude Code, Codex, your shell, your scripts) execute on your machine, under your account, with your credentials and your permissions.

You are solely responsible for:

  • Which agents you launch, which API keys you give them, and what access (filesystem, network, shell, version control) those credentials grant.
  • Anything an agent does in your environment — including writing, deleting, or pushing code; running shell commands; modifying configuration; or making outbound network calls.
  • Complying with the terms of service of the AI providers and third-party services the agents touch.

Oragent's pre-approve feature can auto-accept repetitive permission prompts inside a session. That is a convenience intended for routine prompts you have already vetted; it does not change who is accountable for the resulting actions. Use it deliberately.

Acceptable use

You agree not to use Oragent to commit acts that are unlawful in your jurisdiction or in the jurisdiction of any system you are operating against. In particular, do not use it to coordinate unauthorized access to systems you do not own or have explicit written permission to test, to violate the terms of an AI provider's API, or to harass others. Oragent is a tool; the operator owns the conduct.

No warranty and limitation of liability

The software is provided "AS IS", without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to the warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. This restates section 6 of the Oragent Free Use License and applies equally to the website content.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Oragent maintainers shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages — including but not limited to lost data, lost work, lost revenue, or damage to systems — arising out of or in connection with the use of, or inability to use, the software or the website, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. This applies whether the claim is based on warranty, contract, tort, or any other legal theory.

If a court finds any portion of this clause unenforceable, the remainder remains in effect, and the maintainers' total cumulative liability is limited to the amount you paid for the software, which for a freely-distributed project is zero.

Name, mark, and site content

The name "Oragent", the Oragent logo and app icon, and the editorial content of oragent.org (copy, screenshots, illustrations, design system) are not covered by the Oragent Free Use License. They remain the work of the Oragent maintainers.

Personal, editorial, and clearly-attributed reference use (linking, blog posts, talks, write-ups, package READMEs) is fine without asking. Third-party plugins and integrations may describe themselves as "for Oragent" or "compatible with Oragent", but may not present themselves as the official project. Commercial use of the name or mark — bundling the software under the Oragent name as part of a paid product, using the logo in paid marketing, registering related domains — requires written permission.

Third-party services

When you install, update, or use Oragent, you interact with services we do not control:

  • PyPI, GitHub, and Apple handle distribution, source hosting, and notarization respectively, each under their own terms.
  • AI providers — Anthropic, OpenAI, and any other model API the agents you launch happen to use — each have their own terms and pricing. Oragent does not proxy requests, route credentials, or rebill you.
  • Your operating system, shell, and tmux — Oragent depends on these but does not provide them.

Your use of those services is governed by their respective terms, which take precedence over these terms for the parts of the experience they cover.

Changes

We may update these terms as the project evolves. Material changes will be reflected by an updated "Last updated" date at the top of this page, and significant changes may be called out in the Updates log. The page is versioned in the project's source tree; older versions are recoverable from the repository history. Continued use of the software or website after a change takes effect constitutes acceptance.

Termination

You may stop using Oragent at any time by uninstalling the package (pipx uninstall oragent) or removing Oragent.app. The Oragent Free Use License you received under is not revoked by ending your use, but it does terminate automatically on breach of its restrictions. The maintainers may, at any time and without notice, stop publishing new releases, withdraw the project from any distribution channel, or rename it.

Contact

Oragent is maintained by an independent developer, not a company. For terms questions, name/mark inquiries, or commercial-use requests, open an issue at github.com/oragent-ai/oragent/issues. Sensitive matters can be moved to a private channel from there.
