Beta Terms

Last updated: 21 October 2026

Iapetus is in beta. This page says, in plain language, what that means for you. It supplements our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

What you get

Iapetus is free to use on your own machine. Every account receives a free Local license, which runs for 3 months and renews for free from your dashboard. No credit card, no usage meter. Local is for use on your own machine; a team running Iapetus on shared servers or in CI needs a Team license.

Accounts that received a free Pro license earlier in the beta keep it, with everything it includes, until it expires; it then renews as Local. The headless engine for a team's servers and CI is the Team plan, which we arrange with you.

The founder discount, in writing

Every account registered before our paid launch gets 50% off the first year of any paid plan. This promise is honored indefinitely — whenever you decide to subscribe, it applies. It is our thank-you for trying pre-release software.

What "beta" means

Iapetus is pre-release software. Things may break, change, or be removed between versions. It is provided as is, without warranty of any kind — don't run anything on it you can't afford to lose, and keep backups of data you care about. Our documentation aims to describe exactly what the current version does, nothing more.

Email we send you

We email you to verify your address, deliver your license, and remind you about 14 days before your beta license expires. During the beta we may also send occasional product updates — at most around one per week, usually far fewer. Every non-essential email has an unsubscribe link.

Feedback

If you send us feedback, bug reports, or diagnostics bundles, you let us use them to improve Iapetus without obligation to you. Diagnostics are only ever sent when you export and share them yourself — the app phones nothing home beyond license activation.

Leaving

You can stop any time. To delete your account and data, email support@iapetus.dev — see the Privacy Policy for details on what we store and for how long.
