spectroscope is an independent open-source project. This website is a non-commercial project page; it sells nothing, runs no ads, and has no accounts to sign in to.
This site describes released software: spectroscope 0.5.0. The app screenshots on the landing page show spectro web replaying a scripted demo scenario that ships with the product, not live user data. As a service provider we are responsible for our own content on these pages under general law. This site is static and hosts nothing submitted by users, so there is no stored third-party information here for us to monitor. Obligations to remove or block the use of information under general law remain unaffected. Liability in this respect is only possible from the point in time at which a concrete infringement becomes known. Upon notification of such violations, we will remove the content in question without delay.
This site links to pages we do not control; whoever operates a linked page is responsible for its content. We checked each link when we added it and saw nothing unlawful. We do not monitor linked pages continuously; without a concrete indication of an infringement the law does not require that. If a linked page starts hosting something unlawful, tell us and we will remove the link promptly.
The spectroscope software is open source under the MIT license, with its source public at github.com/spectroscope/spectroscope. Every published build carries that same license: the libraries on Maven Central, the signed macOS disk image (which the Homebrew cask installs for you), the Linux AppImage and Debian package, the packages served from the apt repository at apt.spectroscope.dev, the CLI archive and the server jar. You may use it freely, including commercially, under the license terms. The images — the application screenshots, the architecture diagrams, and the banner — are licensed under CC BY 4.0: take them anywhere, commercially too, as long as the attribution travels with them (“spectroscope — Christopher Ezell, github.com/spectroscope/spectroscope, CC BY 4.0”). The exact terms live in LICENSE-ASSETS.md. The texts on this site stay copyrighted, and the spectroscope name, logo and wordmark identify this project: referring to spectroscope with them is fine, branding something else with them is not. Fork the software as much as you like; just do not ship your fork under this name or mark. Third-party components retain their respective licenses (Three.js, MIT).
spectroscope is designed and built by Christopher Ezell, with Claude (Anthropic) doing a lot of the heavy lifting across code, design and copy. The site is hand-built static files: no framework, no tracker. Type is set in Inter and JetBrains Mono. The hero animation runs on Three.js (MIT). Hosting by Cloudflare Workers. The product screenshots are real captures of spectro web replaying its bundled demo scenarios.
