Where the line is

Simple rule: the app is free, the servers are paid. Either way, we can't read your data.

Free means the app

Everything that runs on your device is free with no feature limits: every editor, every file type, search, templates, offline use, import, and export. That's the product, not a trial.

Cloud means our servers

Paid plans cover the things that need infrastructure: syncing encrypted data between devices, relaying messages and calls, hosting timelines, and storing shared files. All of it end-to-end encrypted.

Questions, answered

Do I need an account?

No. Anonymous mode runs the full app with no account at all. A free account registers your license and lets you recover it later.

What happens if I cancel?

Your data is already on your device, so everything keeps working locally. Sync simply stops, and you can export anytime. Nothing is held hostage.

Can the people I invite use it free?

Yes. Guests you invite can message you, join your voice and video calls, follow your timeline, and collaborate on shared files without paying.

Can you read my data?

No. Synced files, messages, calls, and shared documents are end-to-end encrypted. Our servers move ciphertext; the keys stay with you.

Start free. Stay free.

The full app costs nothing. Cloud makes it simple.
