GearShiftTerms of use
Last updated: November 2026
These terms apply to the GearShift app and this website, published by ("we"). By installing or using GearShift you agree to them.
Licence
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use GearShift. The free edition may be used on any number of your PCs. A GearShift Pro licence is a one-time purchase that unlocks Pro features, including future updates, on up to 3 PCs you own or control. You may move Pro between PCs using "Move Pro to another PC" in the app.
You may not resell, share publicly, or attempt to bypass licence checks, or redistribute modified copies of the app.
Payments and refunds
Orders are processed by our reseller, Lemon Squeezy, which is the merchant of record. Prices include or add applicable taxes as shown at checkout. If you are not happy, ask for a refund within 14 days of purchase and you will get one; your licence key is then disabled.
Your system
GearShift changes Windows settings only when you choose to apply them. It creates a restore point first and offers an undo for each change. Overclocking and undervolting guidance is advice only: changing clocks or voltages is done by you, in other tools, at your own risk, and can affect hardware warranties.
Antivirus and SmartScreen warnings
GearShift is a system tuning tool. To do its job it runs with administrator rights, changes Windows settings, registry values, services and scheduled tasks, and runs its own built-in PowerShell scripts. Security software can treat that kind of behaviour as suspicious in any program, so an antivirus product or Microsoft Defender SmartScreen may warn about GearShift, block it or quarantine it even though it contains nothing harmful. This is called a false positive. Current builds are not code-signed, which makes a SmartScreen notice more likely.
We are open about what the app does: every change is listed and explained before you apply it, nothing is changed without your choice, and each change can be undone. GearShift never turns off or weakens your antivirus, firewall, Windows Update or SmartScreen, and we will never ask you to disable your security software in order to install or use it.
Download GearShift only from this website; we cannot vouch for copies from anywhere else. The app's built-in updater checks every update against its published SHA-256 checksum before installing it. If your security software flags an official download, whether to allow it is your decision. Please tell us at , with the name of the product and the detection it shows, so we can report the false positive to its vendor.
No warranty
GearShift is provided "as is". To the extent the law allows, we make no warranties, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose, and we do not promise any specific performance gain.
Limitation of liability
To the extent the law allows, our total liability for any claim relating to GearShift is limited to the amount you paid for it in the 12 months before the claim. We are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, such as lost data or lost profits. Nothing here limits rights you have under consumer law that cannot be waived.
Third parties
GearShift is not affiliated with or endorsed by Microsoft, NVIDIA, AMD, Intel or any game publisher. Product names belong to their owners.
Changes
We may update these terms; the date above shows the latest version. Nothing in these terms takes away rights your local consumer law gives you.
