Features That Set Us Apart
Three principles that guide everything we build
Your Hardware, Your Rules
Self-hosted tools that run on your infrastructure. No cloud dependencies, no data mining, no surveillance. Your data lives where you decide; not on our servers, not in someone else's cloud.
Buy Once, Own Forever
No subscriptions. No monthly fees. No "gotcha" pricing. Pay once, use forever. We believe software should be a tool you own, not a service you rent. Simple, honest pricing that respects your budget.
Privacy Without Compromise
We can't access your data because we never see it. Self-hosted architecture isn't just a feature, it's a guarantee. Your work is yours alone.
