Honest analytics, not surveillance
We count a handful of anonymous product events — app starts, the first service you add, when you click upgrade, when you first use AI — and catch crashes, on our own servers in the EU. Stripped of anything that could identify you, and one switch away in Settings. No ad networks, no data brokers, no surveillance economy.
Free for light personal use. Pro if you want to bring your own model. Pro Cloud if you want the fastest setup. Lifetime if Franz is already part of your long-term desk.
You save $24 on Pro Cloud, $12 on Pro.
