Principles

Built To Be Owned

The core product should work locally first. Connectors can exist later, but basic usefulness should not depend on permanent rent, accounts, or API availability.

  • No account required for core workflows where possible.
  • Local storage first, with export paths for user-owned records.
  • One-time purchase for the app core when there are no ongoing service costs.
  • Optional connectors only when they add real value.
