The rules for using Isle, the desktop app and your joinisle.xyz page. Plain words, no tricks.
These terms are an agreement between you and Isle, an independent project run by its developer during the beta. They cover the Isle desktop app for Windows and macOS, the website joinisle.xyz and the public pages at joinisle.xyz/@handle (together, “Isle”).
By creating an island or using Isle you accept these terms, the Privacy policy and the Community guidelines. If you do not agree, do not use Isle.
Isle is in beta. Some features are unfinished, and things can change, break or be reset without notice. It is free. Nothing in the beta is a promise of a future feature, price or availability, and we may pause, end or restart the beta at any time. When we can, we tell you in the app first.
You must be at least 13 years old, or 16 if you live in the European Union or the United Kingdom. One person, one island: do not share, sell or trade accounts or handles.
Your island is protected by your @handle and password. Keep the password and your recovery key safe: we cannot send you a reset link, and the recovery key is the only way back in.
Handles claimed before launch stay with the person who claimed them. Claiming handles in bulk, to resell them or to block others, is not allowed, and those handles can be released. Handles that are offensive or imitate Isle, staff, other people or well-known brands can be removed.
The full list, with examples, is in the Community guidelines. In short, do not use Isle for:
Your page at joinisle.xyz/@handle is public. You are responsible for what you write, upload and link there, including pictures, GIFs, polls and the song you pin.
Links must be plain https addresses. URL shorteners, IP loggers and porn sites are refused automatically. Links to sites we do not know open behind a short “you are leaving Isle” notice.
Adult creator platforms (such as OnlyFans or Fansly) may be linked only if you are 18 or older. Your Isle page itself must stay safe for everyone: no nudity or sexual pictures, GIFs or text on Isle.
What you put on your island, page and chats stays yours. You give Isle a free, worldwide, non-exclusive permission to store, show and copy it only as needed to run Isle and show it to the people you chose. This permission ends when you delete the content or your account, except for copies kept for a short time in backups or because the law requires it.
You promise you have the right to share what you upload, including pictures and GIFs. If someone uses your work without permission, see Copyright.
Isle shows what you play and listen to and can open games in Steam, Epic Games or Battle.net. A pinned song uses the public cover and preview from Apple Music. These services belong to their owners and follow their own terms; Isle is not affiliated with or endorsed by them.
“Join on Steam”, “Join on Epic” and “Join on Battle.net” only ask your own launcher to open the game: Isle never logs in to your game accounts.
An automatic filter refuses hate and threats and masks vulgar words. Anyone can report a person or a page, with or without an account, as explained on Report content. We read reports and can remove content, hide a page, mute, suspend or permanently ban accounts and handles that break these rules, with or without warning when it is serious.
If you think we made a mistake, tell us with Report a problem in the app and we will look again.
Isle is free. We may add optional paid cosmetic extras later; they will be clearly marked and never required. We will never sell ads or let anyone pay to reach people.
You can delete your account at any time in the app: Settings, Account, Delete my account. We may suspend or close accounts that break these terms or put other people or the service at risk.
Isle is beta software, provided as it is. It can have bugs, change or be unavailable. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect losses, lost data or for what other users say, post or link. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have by law as a consumer.
We may update these terms. When a change matters, we tell you in the app and ask you to accept the new version. These terms are governed by Italian law, without taking away the protection of the law of the country where you live.
Isle is an independent project in beta. Questions about these pages: use Report a problem in the Isle menu, or Report content.
