I build tools, not subscriptions.
A subscription is a lease. You stop paying, the tool stops, and your work is hostage to a billing relationship that lasts only as long as the company chooses to exist.
I don't build that way. Every app in this catalog is bought once. The price you pay today is the price you'll have paid in 2031.
I build for Mac because I use a Mac.
Native engines. Native shortcuts. Native menu bars. I build for the way macOS works — not web pages in a frame, not cross-platform wrappers wearing a native costume.
If something can be done well on three platforms, it's not in this catalog. I build for one, and I use what I build.
A one-time price is the honest price.
I'm one person. There's no growth team optimizing my checkout flow. A fair one-time price isn't a discount off some fictional subscription — it's what good Mac software costs when it's sold honestly.
You buy it. I get paid. No ongoing leverage over each other.
What you paid is what you paid. Forever.
No "we're adding a Pro tier" later. No free trial that converts. No "your plan is changing" email in 2030.
I have one promise on price. What you paid is what you paid. If I ever break that, tell everyone.
Your data stays on your machine.
Every app in this catalog is local-first. No telemetry SDK. No analytics phoning home. No "anonymous usage data" I'd rather not explain.
If an app sends data anywhere, that's because you asked it to. I don't need your usage patterns — I'm the one who builds the thing and uses it myself.
This is the bar every app has to clear.
If it doesn't,it's not in the catalog.
