Terms of Service.

Plain-language terms for using Alacrán. Please read them before using the application.

Effective September 19, 2026

Using Alacrán

Alacrán is a local desktop application and open-source project. You may use it to organize business information and work with supported AI tools and connected services. You are responsible for the information you provide, the services you connect, and the decisions you make from its output.

AI output needs review

AI-generated output can be incomplete or wrong. Alacrán is designed to show important proposed actions for human review, but you remain responsible for checking results before relying on, publishing, sending, or acting on them. Alacrán does not provide legal, medical, tax, or financial advice.

Third-party services

AI providers, email, calendar, source-control, messaging, and other connected services have their own terms and privacy practices. Your use of those services is governed by your agreement with each provider.

Your files and responsibilities

You keep ownership of the files and business information you use with Alacrán. You must have the right to use that information and must not use the application to break the law, compromise another person’s access, or harm another person or service.

Availability and warranty

Alacrán is provided as available and without promises that it will always be uninterrupted, error-free, or suitable for every purpose. Keep appropriate backups of important files and review application updates before installing them.

Changes and contact

These terms may change as the product develops. Material updates will be reflected on this page with a new effective date. Questions can be sent to contact@alacran.app.

Put your business knowledge to work.

Create your company workspace, connect your AI, and prepare your first result for review.

Your download has started. One more step on a Mac.

Apple has not notarized Alacrán, because that needs a paid Apple Developer account. Until you do this once, macOS may block the app, often with the message "Alacrán is damaged and can't be opened". It is not damaged.

  1. Install. Open the downloaded .dmg and drag Alacrán into Applications.
  2. Run this in Terminal, once. It clears the quarantine flag macOS puts on downloaded files. Use it only on the app you downloaded from this site or the official releases page.
    xattr -cr "/Applications/Alacran.app"
  3. Open Alacrán from Applications.

You only need this for the first install. Updates inside the app do not need it. Prefer to read more? Read the setup guide.
