Terms of Service

The short, honest version.

Nyxd Editor is free, open-licensed software. These terms are plain on purpose — there's no subscription and no fine print worth hiding.

Effective 20 July 2026

License

Nyxd Editor's source code is distributed under the Apache License 2.0 — see the LICENSE file for the full legal text. The compiled app you download from this site is provided to you under those same terms: you're free to use, modify, and redistribute it, provided you keep the license and copyright notices intact.

In plain terms: download it, use it, poke around the source, build your own copy — that's the whole point of an Apache-licensed project.

Acceptable use

Use Nyxd Editor for anything legal. A couple of things worth knowing:

  • Nyxd Editor opens and edits files. It does not execute them. It runs no scripts and launches no programs — the app is sandboxed, and a sandboxed process cannot execute anything outside its own bundle. You are responsible for what you choose to open and for any changes you save.
  • Don't represent an unmodified copy of Nyxd Editor as your own original work — the Apache License's attribution terms still apply.

Warranty & liability

Nyxd Editor is provided "as is," without warranty of any kind, exactly as the Apache License 2.0 states. It's currently free to download and use directly from this website, with no purchase or refund process involved.

Back up anything you can't afford to lose — same advice as for any editor, including this one.
