QUESTIONS
Common questions Is there a subscription? + No. Glyph is a one-time purchase with lifetime access. No recurring fees, seat limits, or device binding.
Do you collect my data? + No. Your notes stay on your Mac as plain Markdown files. Glyph does not upload, track, or phone home with your files.
Can I try it before buying? + Yes. Glyph comes with a 7-day free trial and does not ask for a card. 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 or ping me on Discord . I built Glyph solo, and I know budgets get tight.
Is it open source? + The code is public on GitHub. I license official builds, and you can clone the repo and build Glyph yourself.
Is a Windows version planned? + Yes, but the Mac version comes first. Glyph uses cross-platform technology, so Windows and Linux versions can follow.
EARLY ACCESS
Still early Glyph is in early access. I'm building it on my own, and your purchase pays for the next release.
