Terms & Notice

Last updated: 2026-05-03

1. What Allman is

Allman is a CLI and TUI that connects to your own LinkedIn account using your own browser session, and stores message data locally on your own machine. It is published by Tarka Ventures, Inc.

2. Software license

The Allman CLI and TUI are licensed under the MIT license, with a NOTICE that scopes the grant. The MIT license covers original code authored by Tarka. It does not, and cannot, grant rights in:

• LinkedIn Corporation's API endpoints, URL paths, request and response schemas, parameter names, URN formats, and authentication protocols. Those remain LinkedIn's.
• The "LinkedIn" name, logo, or marks. Allman is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by LinkedIn.
• Any data accessed through LinkedIn. That remains subject to LinkedIn's User Agreement.

Full text: see LICENSE and NOTICE distributed with the software.

3. Your responsibility when using Allman

Allman accesses your LinkedIn account on your behalf using your own credentials. Your use of LinkedIn through Allman is governed by your own contract with LinkedIn — the LinkedIn User Agreement. You are responsible for compliance with that agreement, applicable rate limits, and all relevant law. If LinkedIn restricts your account, that is between you and LinkedIn.

Allman is intended for managing your own inbox. It is not a cold-outbound or spam tool. See the RESPONSIBLE_USE.md file shipped with the software for guidance.

4. What Tarka does not do

• We do not store your LinkedIn credentials or cookies.
• We do not relay your messages through our servers — Allman is local-first.
• We do not aggregate, sell, or analyze your message data.
• We do not operate accounts on your behalf.

5. Website content

The allman.sh website — its source code, design, copy, and assets — is © 2026 Tarka Ventures, Inc., all rights reserved. It is not licensed for reuse, redistribution, or derivative works without prior written permission.

6. No warranty; limitation of liability

Allman and this website are provided "as is," without warranty of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Tarka disclaims all liability for any use of Allman against the LinkedIn service, including but not limited to account restrictions, suspensions, or losses arising from your use of the software.
