1. Independence & Non-Affiliation

tmux.app is an independent, community-maintained educational documentation portal and utility hub. This website is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or officially connected to Nicholas Marriott (the creator of tmux), the OpenBSD project, or the core contributors of the official upstream repository.

The official source code repository for tmux is developed and maintained publicly on GitHub at https://github.com/tmux/tmux and releases are published under the ISC license.

2. Accuracy of Information & Technical Commands

All tutorials, configuration templates (.tmux.conf), shell automation scripts, keyboard shortcuts, and troubleshooting instructions provided on this site are published in good faith for general informational and educational purposes only.

While our team makes every effort to verify commands across macOS, Ubuntu Linux, and Windows WSL2 environments, tmux.app makes no warranties or representations of any kind (express or implied) regarding the completeness, accuracy, reliability, or suitability of the scripts or commands. Any reliance you place on such information or execution of shell commands on your system or servers is strictly at your own risk.

3. Production System Administration & Script Execution

Certain terminal commands and administrative routines documented on this website—such as terminating servers (tmux kill-server), adjusting socket permissions (chmod 777 on shared sockets), or resetting terminal state—have significant operational effects on running processes.

Users are strongly advised to test all configuration directives and shell scripts in non-production development environments or staging virtual machines before deploying them to mission-critical production infrastructure. tmux.app is not liable for data loss, dropped SSH connections, or server downtime resulting from the execution of commands found on this site.

4. Third-Party Plugins & External Repositories

Our plugin directory and tutorial guides reference third-party plugins managed via the Tmux Plugin Manager (TPM) and hosted on external platforms such as GitHub. tmux.app does not audit, maintain, or control third-party plugin repositories. Users are encouraged to inspect third-party plugin source code before installation to ensure security and stability.

5. Software Distribution & External Downloads

tmux.app does not compile, modify, repackage, or distribute any proprietary or executable software binaries.

All download links, package references, and installation commands point directly to official open-source distribution channels (e.g., official operating system package repositories like Homebrew, Debian/Ubuntu APT, Arch Linux Pacman, or upstream GitHub Releases). Users download and install software at their own discretion in accordance with upstream project licenses.

6. Open Source Licensing

tmux itself is open-source software distributed under the permissive ISC License. Documentation, cheat sheet guides, and configuration tools created by tmux.app are published under the ISC license for the global developer and sysadmin community.
