FREQUENT CONCERNS
Everything you need to
know before you begin
Is there a subscription? +
No. Glyph is a one-time purchase with lifetime access. No recurring fees, no seat limits, no device binding.
Do you collect my data? +
Never. Your notes stay on your Mac as plain markdown files. Nothing is uploaded, tracked, or phoned home. Ever.
Can I try it before buying? +
Yes. Glyph comes with a 7-day free trial. No credit card required — just download the latest version and start writing.
I can't afford it at the listed price. What should I do? +
Please reach out on X or email karatsidhu@gmail.com. If you are a student or really strapped for cash, I will happily send you a discount code or a free license key.
Is it open source? +
Yes. The source code is public on GitHub. Official release binaries are licensed, but you can always build from source.
Is a Windows version planned? +
Eventually, yes. Glyph is built with cross-platform technology, so Windows and Linux are absolutely possible. Right now, all my energy goes into making the Mac experience exceptional.
EARLY ACCESS
Still early. Actively evolving.
Glyph is in early access and active development. I am building it as a solo developer project, and your support helps me keep developing it further.
