If we ever stop maintaining PhotoSphere, the full Rust + React source releases under MIT. Your tool stays buildable, regardless of what happens to us.
If you don't love it within 30 days, full refund. No "are you sure?" survey. Reply to the email, get your money back.
Real humans. ≤24-hour response on Personal, priority on Family. Bug reports tracked publicly.
Because we don't have a subscription cushion. The $99 is the lifetime cost of supporting you, building updates, and replying to your emails. It also keeps PhotoSphere from becoming venture-funded. We don't need to grow infinitely; we need to make rent and ship a great app.
No, but it'll be heavily discounted (~50% off). v2.0 won't ship for at least 4 years. v1.x updates — and there will be many — are all included.
Source code releases under MIT. The license server (which only validates keys offline) keeps working — you can patch your existing license to never expire. Your library is plain folders + SQLite, so nothing breaks even if the app stops getting updates.
Yes. The Personal license covers 5 paired devices. Install on whichever 5 makes sense.
No. iOS and Android companions are free. They're useless without a paired desktop, and a paid license covers all your paired devices.
Upgrade to Family for the difference ($100). All your existing pairs migrate.
Coming in 2026. For now, Family covers up to 6 users + 30 devices, which works for most studios.
Try free for 30 days. Pay when you're sure. Keep PhotoSphere — and every photo it manages — for life.
