LiveView
Terms of Use
Last updated: 10 September 2026
The agreement
By downloading or using LiveView, you agree to these terms, which supplement Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement (EULA). If there is an irreconcilable conflict, Apple's standard EULA applies where its terms require. If you don't agree, please don't use the app. LiveView is provided by TheCosmicApp.
What LiveView does
LiveView lets your iPhone view and control your own Mac, by voice and on screen. You are responsible for the computers you connect and for what you do on them. Only connect devices you own or are authorised to use.
Your Library & third-party content
The Library is a personal study tool: it keeps, on your Mac and only for your own study, the text of content you choose — web pages, PDFs, your own recordings and, if you turn that option on, audio or captions from links you send to your Mac. Your iPhone never downloads or converts media; it only sends a link to your Mac. LiveView does not publish, share or redistribute that content, and nothing from your Library leaves your Mac.
You are responsible for respecting copyright and the terms of service of the platforms the content comes from. Some platforms forbid downloading or automated collection; using those options is your choice, and the app asks for your explicit consent before enabling them. Keep what you save for private study — publishing someone else's full text is not allowed.
Your account & subscription
- Some features require an account and an active LiveView Pro subscription — LiveView Pro Monthly or LiveView Pro Yearly — with a free trial where offered.
- Subscriptions are sold through Apple's App Store and billed to your Apple ID. Payment is charged at confirmation of purchase.
- Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your Apple ID is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends.
- You can manage or cancel anytime in your iPhone Settings → your name → Subscriptions, and you keep access until the end of the paid period. We don't process refunds — those are handled by Apple.
- You're responsible for keeping your login secure.
Acceptable use
Don't use LiveView to access systems you're not authorised to, to break the law, or to disrupt the service. We may suspend access for serious or repeated misuse.
LiveView's on-device voice uses the Supertonic model under the OpenRAIL-M license. You agree not to use the voice for any of that license's restricted purposes — including breaking the law, harming or exploiting minors, generating false or defamatory content, harassment, impersonation, discrimination, medical advice, or automated decisions affecting a person's legal rights without human oversight. See our Credits page for the summary and the full license.
Availability & the relay
We work to keep the service reliable, but we can't guarantee uninterrupted availability — networks, your Mac, and third parties are outside our control. The optional cloud relay is provided "as is" to help connections work on any network.
Disclaimer & liability
LiveView is provided "as is", without warranties. To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential damages, or for loss of data arising from your use of the app. Nothing here limits rights you have under mandatory consumer law.
Changes & contact
We may update these terms; material changes will be dated above. Questions: hello@thecosmicapp.com.
