Comet is a desktop app that runs entirely on your machine. It connects directly to your MongoDB instances — no data passes through our servers. AI features use your own API keys and go directly to your chosen provider. The software is currently free during beta and provided as-is. We may introduce pricing later with advance notice.
Handcraft Code grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Comet application ("Software") for personal or commercial purposes. The Software is licensed, not sold. You may not reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, or create derivative works from the Software. You may not redistribute, sublicense, or resell the Software.
The Software is currently in a beta testing period and is provided free of charge. During the beta period, features may be incomplete, changed, or removed without notice. The beta period may end at any time. We reserve the right to introduce paid tiers, modify pricing, or change the feature set at any time with reasonable notice. No commitment is made to maintain free access indefinitely.
Comet connects directly from your device to your MongoDB instances. No database credentials, connection strings, queries, or document data are transmitted to Handcraft Code or any third party through Comet. You are solely responsible for securing your own database instances, managing access credentials, and maintaining backups. Comet is not liable for data loss, corruption, or unauthorized access resulting from operations performed through the Software.
Comet's AI features use third-party providers via API keys you supply ("Bring Your Own Key"). When you use AI features:
Comet may check for updates by making periodic requests to our update server. These checks transmit only standard HTTP headers — no user data, device identifiers, or usage information is included.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Handcraft Code shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, profits, revenue, or business opportunities arising from your use of the Software.

You may stop using the Software at any time by uninstalling it. We may terminate or suspend your license at any time for any reason. Upon termination, you must cease all use of the Software and delete all copies.
