FontDash is operated by nxyz. Policies live on their own pages; this index keeps the combined document for bookmarks.
By using FontDash (the "Service"), including the web application at fontdash.com and the desktop applications for Windows, macOS, and Linux, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service. FontDash is operated by nxyz (nxyz.art).
FontDash is a font tools dashboard that lets you browse, preview, pair, compare, test, and take Google Fonts. The Service includes a web application and downloadable desktop applications for Windows, macOS, and Linux. FontDash accesses the Google Fonts API to display font data. Fonts themselves are provided by Google and are subject to their respective open-source licenses (primarily the SIL Open Font License).
You can use FontDash without an account. Signing in with Google is optional and only syncs favorites, collections, projects, settings, notes, and recently viewed fonts across devices. You are responsible for the Google account you use to sign in.
You agree not to: (a) use the Service for any unlawful purpose; (b) attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble the desktop application beyond what is permitted by applicable law; (c) use automated tools to scrape or overload the Service; (d) interfere with or disrupt the Service or its infrastructure.
Fonts accessed through FontDash are third-party assets. Google Fonts are licensed under the SIL Open Font License or Apache License 2.0. System fonts displayed in the desktop application are licensed by their respective vendors. FontDash does not grant any additional license rights to fonts beyond what their original license permits. Users are responsible for verifying font licenses before use in commercial projects.
The desktop application installs fonts to your operating system's user font directory. On Windows, this is the user fonts folder. On macOS, this is ~/Library/Fonts. On Linux, this is ~/.local/share/fonts. FontDash does not modify system-level directories and does not require administrator privileges for font installation. You may uninstall fonts at any time through the application or your operating system's font management tools.
FontDash, its logo, design, and original code are the property of nxyz. The Service uses open-source libraries and components, each subject to their own licenses. User-created collections, projects, and configurations remain the property of the user.
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components. Font installation and system font scanning are performed at your own risk.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, FontDash, nxyz, and their creators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of data, system instability from font installation, or loss of profits arising from your use of the Service.
We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. We will indicate the date of the latest revision at the top of this page.
Without an account: Font preferences, collections, projects, and settings stay in your browser (localStorage) and are not sent to our servers. We do not require an account to use the web app.
With Google sign-in: If you choose to sign in, we receive your Google account email, name, and profile image from the sign-in flow, and we store favorites, collections, projects, settings, notes, and recently viewed fonts in our database so they sync across devices. We use this only to run the Service.
Desktop application: The desktop app stores preferences, collections, and cached font data locally on your device. Font installation and system-font scans happen on your machine. The app connects to the Google Fonts API for font metadata; that connection is between your device and Google's servers.
FontDash uses the Google Fonts API to display font information. When you browse or preview fonts, your device makes requests to Google's servers. Google's privacy policy applies to those requests. Sign-in uses Google OAuth. We use Vercel for web hosting, which may collect standard web server logs (IP addresses, request timestamps). See Vercel's privacy policy for details. Account data, when you sign in, is stored in a Postgres database hosted by our infrastructure providers.
The desktop application can scan your system's font directories to display installed fonts. This scan is performed locally on your device. Font file names and family names are read but never transmitted outside your device. You can disable system font scanning in Settings.
We use Rybbit, a privacy-first, cookieless analytics service, to understand basic usage patterns (such as page views and referrers) in aggregate. Rybbit does not use cookies, does not track you across sites, and does not collect personally identifiable information. We will never sell your data or use invasive tracking.
Browser-only data can be removed by clearing localStorage for fontdash.com. If you signed in, email info@nxyz.art and we will delete the account data we store. You can also uninstall the desktop application and remove fonts installed through it from your system font directory.
FontDash is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children.
