Relay terms

Last updated: November 14, 2026

These terms cover only the hosted relay at relay.stewcli.com, which passes messages between the stew Mac tool and the stew iPhone app. The Mac tool itself is covered by its MIT license.

The service

• Koode provides the relay free of charge.
• The relay is provided as is. There is no guarantee that it is available or free of errors.
• Koode may change, limit or stop the relay. Where it reasonably can, Koode gives notice before it does so.

Fair use

The relay has rate limits per IP address and per pairing. Use it for stew, at the rate a person answers requests.

You may not:

• abuse the relay, or overload it with traffic;
• try to break or bypass its encryption, its signatures or its limits;
• use it for anything other than stew.

Koode may block pairings or addresses that abuse the relay.

Other relays

The Mac tool's phone.relay setting can name another relay, but notifications reach the stew iPhone app only through this one: only Koode can send them to the app.

Liability

Koode's liability for the relay is limited as far as Dutch law allows.

Law and contact

Dutch law applies to these terms. Disputes go to the competent court in Amsterdam. Questions go to contact@koode.nl.
