meowbalt is cobalt’s speedy mascot, a very expressive cat who loves fast internet.

all amazing art of meowbalt that you see in cobalt was made by GlitchyPSI. he’s also the original creator of the character.

imput holds legal rights to meowbalt’s character design, but not specific artworks that were created by GlitchyPSI.

we love meowbalt, so we have to set a few rules in place to protect him:

• you cannot use meowbalt’s character design in any form that isn’t fan art.
• you cannot use meowbalt’s design or artworks commercially.
• you cannot use meowbalt’s design or artworks in your own projects.
• you cannot use or modify GlitchyPSI’s artworks of meowbalt in any form.

if you create fan art of meowbalt, please share it in our discord server, we’d love to see it!

cobalt api (processing server) code is open source and licensed under AGPL-3.0.

cobalt frontend code is source first and is licensed under CC-BY-NC-SA 4.0.

we had to make frontend source first to stop grifters from profiting off our work & from creating malicious clones that deceive people and hurt our public identity. other than commercial use, it follows same principles as many open source licenses.

we rely on many open source libraries, but also create & distribute our own. you can see the full list of dependencies on github!
