Copyright & Licensing
Inner Signal is licensed under PolyForm Noncommercial License. You can use, study, modify, and share forks of it for noncommercial purposes.
Inner Signal is transparent by design.
I do not want a self-hypnosis or inner-child app to feel like a black box. If a tool is guiding people through induction, inner listening, body signals, protector work, or reparenting prompts, users should be able to inspect the logic rather than being asked to trust mysterious hidden suggestions.
That is why the preview app source is visible.
You can read it. You can inspect how the session is structured. You can see the safety boundaries, the starter prompts, the mode toggle, and the way the app responds when someone feels fake, blank, skeptical, or wants to go deeper.
That transparency is part of the safety model.
License
Unless otherwise noted, the Inner Signal preview app source code is released under the:
PolyForm Noncommercial License 1.0.0
That means you may use, copy, study, modify, and share the software for noncommercial purposes, provided you keep the required copyright and license notices with it.
This is a source-available noncommercial license.
It is not the same thing as public domain, and it is not the same thing as unrestricted open source.
What you can do
You are welcome to use the code for noncommercial purposes such as:
- personal study
- private practice
- research
- testing
- education
- hobby projects
- noncommercial experiments
- reviewing the safety logic
- adapting the structure for your own noncommercial learning or practice
You can also use the visible source to understand how the app works before deciding whether to trust it.
That is the point.
What you cannot do without permission
You may not use Inner Signal source code, session logic, scripts, or substantially similar adapted versions for commercial purposes without permission.
That includes, for example:
- selling it as an app
- putting it behind your own paid subscription
- using it as part of a paid coaching, therapy, hypnosis, or wellness product
- reselling the code or app
- using it in a commercial SaaS product
- copying the source into a competing paid product
- presenting Inner Signal as your own commercial tool
- using the Inner Signal name, logo, or branding in a way that suggests endorsement or official affiliation
If you want commercial use, contact me first.
Brand and written content
The license does not give permission to use the Inner Signal name, logo, visual identity, domain names, or brand presentation as your own.
Those remain protected.
The same applies to articles, guides, long-form explanations, marketing pages, and written teaching material unless a separate license is clearly stated.
In plain English:
You can inspect and noncommercially learn from the source.
You cannot copy the whole identity and sell it as your own.
Why not hide the source?
Because hiding the source would make the app less trustworthy.
A self-hypnosis tool should be inspectable. Users should be able to see whether it is trying to create dependency, push breakthroughs, confirm false memories, bypass crisis, or make claims it cannot support.
The official Inner Signal version is not valuable because the source is hidden.
It is valuable because it is maintained, tested, improved, documented, and connected to a real feedback loop.
Paid access supports:
- continued development
- safety testing
- better session flows
- mobile polish
- documentation
- translations
- edge-case review
- updated guides
- survey and feedback tools
- future versions of the trainer
You are not paying because the method is secret.
You are paying to support the maintained version.
Commercial licensing
If you are a practitioner, organization, developer, researcher, educator, app builder, or publisher and want to use Inner Signal commercially, contact me.
Commercial arrangements may be possible depending on the use case.
Examples:
- using the app inside a paid course
- adapting the method for a professional practice
- integrating the trainer into another platform
- licensing a customized version
- translating or localizing the app
- creating a white-label or organization-specific version
- collaborating on research, safety testing, or outcomes tracking

No warranty
Inner Signal is provided as an educational self-practice tool.
It is not therapy, medical care, crisis support, diagnosis, or a substitute for a qualified professional.
The source being visible does not guarantee that the app is safe for every person or every situation. Self-hypnosis and inner-child work are not appropriate for every state, every history, or every moment.
Use judgment. Go slowly. Stop if you feel destabilized. Get real human help when needed.
Short version
Inner Signal is source-visible because trust matters.
You can inspect it, learn from it, and use it noncommercially under the PolyForm Noncommercial License 1.0.0.
You cannot sell it, repackage it commercially, or use the Inner Signal brand as your own without permission.
