What we stand for
Privacy first
We do not collect, sell or share personal data. No tracking, no analytics, no ads, no remote code. Your data stays on your device.
Minimal permissions
We ask only for what a feature needs, when you use it, and explain every permission in plain words.
Respect for creators and websites
Our tools never get around copy protection (DRM), encryption, paywalls or other protection measures.
Freedom with responsibility
You decide how to use your tools, within the law. We tell you the limits without lecturing.
Fair price
The essentials are free. Pro is a one-time payment, with a 15-day free trial and no account.
A fair deal
Free stays free
The core of each tool is free, with no time limit and no ads.
Pro, once
Pay what you think is fair, from a small minimum. One payment, no subscription. Paying more doesn’t add features.
Try first
15 days of Pro for free, from installation. No sign-up, no card.
Limits, before you buy
Each tool says what it can’t do in a “They’ll always win.” note, next to the price.
