The short version: it’s your Core, your media, your rules.
Momokji is a self-hosted media pairing service by SpicyRiceCakes. Your media library stays on hardware you control; we do not take custody of it. The usual route is an encrypted direct connection from your device to your Momokji Core. If that route is unavailable, a capped encrypted relay may carry traffic temporarily, without becoming your library.
1. What we provide
SpicyRiceCakes operates the account system (“the Switchboard”) that lets you create an account, pair your own self-hosted Momokji Core to it, and link devices to that Core via short-lived pairing codes. We coordinate the introduction between your devices and your Core. Momokji prefers a direct encrypted connection; when that path is unavailable, a capped encrypted relay may carry traffic temporarily. The relay does not become your library, and we do not host or store your media.
2. Your account
You’re responsible for the accuracy of the information you give us (name, email) and for keeping your password secret. You must be old enough in your jurisdiction to agree to these terms. One account may pair multiple Momokji Cores.
3. Your Core, your data
Your Momokji Core runs on hardware you control, and your media lives there — not on our servers. We store account records (your name, email, hashed password, and which Cores are paired to you) so the pairing and sign-in system works. We do not have ownership of your media library. A capped relay may carry encrypted traffic temporarily, but your Core remains the home of the library.
4. Acceptable use
Don’t use Momokji to distribute content you don’t have the right to distribute, to attack or probe the Switchboard or other users’ Cores, or to attempt to pair a Core you don’t own. We may suspend an account that abuses the pairing system or attempts to compromise it.
5. Availability
The Switchboard is provided on a best-effort basis. Momokji prefers a direct connection between your device and your Core. When direct access is unavailable, a capped encrypted relay may provide a fallback; if no supported path is available, playback may stop. We’re not liable for interruptions caused by your network, your hardware, or factors outside our control.
6. Changes
We may update these terms as Momokji grows. Material changes will be reflected here with an updated date; continued use after a change means you accept the updated terms.

Questions about these terms or your account can be sent through the contact channel listed on our home page.
