Terms of Use

Last updated 18 September 2026

The short version. Use Peering on Macs you own or are allowed to control. Local connections are free; the relay is metered, and paid plans are billed by Apple. The app is provided as it is, and nothing in it can recover a Mac you have lost access to.

1. These terms

By installing or using the Peering app for iPhone or its companion app for Mac, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree with them, do not use the apps. Where Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies, which it does because you got the app from the App Store, that agreement governs your licence to the app, and these terms govern everything else.

2. What Peering is

Peering shows your Mac's screen on your iPhone and lets you control it. Your two devices pair directly with each other. When they are on different networks, a relay server operated by the developer of Peering introduces them and forwards their encrypted connection. The relay cannot read what it forwards. See the Privacy Policy for exactly what it handles.

Peering is a tool for reaching your own computers. It is not a remote support or surveillance product, and it is not designed to be installed on a machine without its owner's knowledge or consent.

3. Your responsibilities

Use Peering only with Macs that you own or are authorised to access. You are responsible for having the right to control the machine you connect to.
Keep your devices secure. Anyone who can unlock your iPhone and open the app has the access you have granted it, which is why the app offers Face ID on launch.
Do not use the relay to carry anything unlawful, to attack or overload the service, or to interfere with anyone else's use of it.
Do not attempt to break, bypass or reverse the metering of relay time, or the relay's access controls.

4. Free use and relay time

Connecting over your own local network is free and is not limited. When your devices are on different networks, the connection uses the relay, which is metered: the free allowance is half an hour in each 24-hour period, and it does not accumulate. The Relay plan allows three hours in the same period, and Relay Plus and Pro are not metered at all. The app shows how much of the allowance you are on is left.

The allowance, its length and the plans available may change. Changes to the free allowance do not apply retroactively to a period already in progress.

5. Purchases and subscriptions

All purchases are made through the App Store and billed to your Apple Account. Prices are those shown by the App Store in your country at the time of purchase, and the app shows them before you confirm.
Subscriptions renew automatically for the same period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the current period ends, the Relay and Relay Plus plans monthly and Pro yearly. Your Apple Account is charged for the renewal within that window.
You can manage or cancel a subscription in your App Store settings, or from the subscriptions page of your Apple Account. Cancelling stops the next renewal; it does not refund the current period.
A subscription is tied to the Apple Account that bought it, and can be brought back on your devices with Restore Purchases.
Refunds are handled by Apple under their policies. We cannot issue a refund directly, and we cannot see your payment details.
If a plan is refunded, cancelled or otherwise not active, relay connections return to the free allowance. Local connections are unaffected.

6. Availability

The relay is provided on a best-effort basis. It may be unavailable, may be interrupted for maintenance, and may change over time. We may suspend or withdraw the service, in whole or in part, including for accounts that abuse it or attempt to bypass its metering. Local connections between your devices do not depend on the relay and continue to work without it.

7. No warranty

Peering is provided "as is", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. Nothing in it guarantees that you can reach a given Mac at a given moment: whether it is awake, on a network, and permitted to be controlled depends on that Mac.

8. Limit of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the developer of Peering is not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, nor for lost data, lost profits, or lost access to a machine, arising out of your use of the app or the relay. Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the amount you paid for the app or the plan in the twelve months before the claim.

Nothing here excludes liability that the law does not allow to be excluded, including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.

9. Changes to these terms

These terms may change as the app does. The date at the top changes when they do, and the new version is published here before it takes effect. Continuing to use the app after a change means you accept the new terms.

10. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Poland, and the courts of Poland have non-exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from them. If you are a consumer, this does not remove the protection you have under the mandatory consumer law of the country you live in.
