Last updated: October 6, 2026. LabCoat is in beta, so these may change. If we make a big change we will tell signed-in users.
LabCoat is a free robotics app and website made by DigbyLabs ("we", "us"). By creating an account or using LabCoat you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use it.
You must be at least 13 years old to use LabCoat. If you are under 18, a parent or guardian must agree to these terms on your behalf. Keep your password private. You are responsible for what happens under your account.
LabCoat is early software. It can have bugs, change without notice, or go offline. We do not promise it will always work, always be available, or keep your data forever. Keep your own backups of anything important, including your firmware, sketches and robot settings.
LabCoat is free. We may add paid hardware or optional services later. We will not charge you for something you are already using without telling you first.
LabCoat can send commands to motors, servos, lights, and other hardware you build or own. You are the operator. You decide what to connect, what to power on, and when to run it. You are responsible for building safely and for any damage, injury or loss that comes from the hardware you control with it.
We can suspend or remove an account that breaks these rules or puts others at risk.
Your robot lists, settings and anything you put in your account belong to you. You give us permission to store and process them only so we can run LabCoat for you (for example, to match your robots between the desktop app and the website). We do not sell your content.
The LabCoat name, logo, app and website are ours. Third-party libraries and fonts keep their own licenses.
LabCoat is provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent the law allows, we make no warranties of any kind, including that it is accurate, safe for your particular hardware, reliable, or fit for a particular purpose.
To the fullest extent the law allows, DigbyLabs and the people who work on it are not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential damages, or for loss of data, profits, equipment, or for injury or property damage that results from hardware you build, power or control. Where the law does not allow a limit, our total liability is limited to the amount you paid us in the past 12 months, which for the free version is zero. Some places do not allow these limits, so they may not fully apply to you.
You can stop using LabCoat any time. To close your account and delete your data, contact us (see below). We may also end the service or your access, with notice when we can.
These terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, USA, without regard to conflict of law rules. Disputes will be handled in the state or federal courts located in Virginia, unless the law where you live says otherwise.

Short version: we collect as little as we need to run your account, we do not sell your data, and your robot's security keys stay on your own computer.
If you sign up for our waitlist, we collect your email address and your interest category (maker, teacher, investor, etc.). We use this only to send you updates about LabCoat availability. You can ask us to remove your email at any time.
To run your account, keep the service secure, match your robots between devices, and fix bugs. We do not sell your information and we do not use it for advertising.
Only the services we need to run the website. Cloudflare passes web traffic to our server and may collect basic analytics (page views, country, browser type) through Cloudflare Web Analytics. This does not use cookies or track individual users. We may share information if the law requires it, or to protect people from serious harm.
Home network details such as robot addresses are only shown to the owner of that setup. Other signed-in users see them hidden.
Passwords are hashed. The site uses HTTPS. No system is perfectly secure, so please use a unique password. If we learn of a breach that affects you, we will tell you.
You can ask us to show, correct or delete your account data at any time by contacting us. Deleting your account removes your profile, synced robot list and settings.
LabCoat is not meant for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their information. Users aged 13-17 may use LabCoat only with the agreement of a parent or guardian (see the Terms of Use above). If you believe a child under 13 has signed up, contact us and we will delete the account.

Controlling a robot over the internet adds delay and can drop out. A command may arrive late or not at all. Only use remote control when you can see what the robot is doing and when nobody can be hurt if it does not stop right away.
Lithium batteries and high-current power supplies can start fires. Use proper fuses, wire sizes, battery protection and chargers for your build. Shut the robot down properly, for example with LabCoat's POWER DOWN, before cutting power.
LabCoat's guides, wiring suggestions, generated code, pin maps and any answers from AI features can be wrong or incomplete for your hardware. Check them against your parts' datasheets before powering anything. Do not rely on LabCoat for anything where a mistake could hurt someone, and it is not a medical, safety-critical, or professional engineering tool.
LabCoat is not made by or endorsed by Espressif, Raspberry Pi, Arduino, or any other hardware maker. Their names belong to them and are used only to say what LabCoat works with.
By using LabCoat to control hardware, you accept that you are responsible for how it is built, powered and run, and for any harm or damage it causes. See the Terms of Use above for the legal details.
