FREQUENT CONCERNS
Everything you need to
know before you begin
Is there a subscription? +
Hell No! For a note-taking app? Are you serious? Glyph is a one-time purchase with lifetime access. No recurring fees, no seat limits, no device binding.
Do you collect my data? +
Never. Why would I want your data anyway? It's not like I'm trying to sell you coupons to your favorite shaving cream. 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? +
I offer a 50% discount for students and indie developers. Reach out on Twitter (I refuse to call it X) or email karatsidhu@gmail.com — I built this solo and I know what it's like to stretch a budget. We'll work something out.
Is it open source? +
Fully public on GitHub. I've got nothing to hide. Official builds are licensed, but you're welcome to clone it and build it yourself.
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.
