FAQ

Why $1 a week?+

48 handcrafted apps, ongoing updates, and the cost of code-signing and notarization for macOS. A dollar a week — billed $54 once a year — keeps the lights on without paying a separate subscription for every app.

Is it really just one payment?+

Yes. $54 once a year works out to $1 a week. No per-seat pricing, no tiers, no usage metering on the apps themselves — only the optional AI features draw on credits.

What happens if I cancel?+

You keep using whatever version of the launcher you last installed. You stop getting updates and new apps until you renew. Any AI credits you've topped up stay on your account — they don't expire with the subscription.

What are AI credits used for?+

Voice dictation transcripts, meeting summaries, AI-suggested SQL queries, viral clip extraction, and a few other model-backed features. Pro includes $10 of credits a year; top-up packs ($15–$100) are billed once and never expire.

Why are some apps web-only or desktop-only?+

Web apps run anywhere your browser does. Desktop apps need things browsers can't do — system clipboard hooks, ffmpeg, native database drivers, fn-key shortcuts.

Is my data uploaded?+

No. The apps run locally. Sign-in only links your account; we don't read your notes, clipboard, or files.

Open source?+

The launcher is open. Most apps are too — see the GitHub link in the footer.
