What you can install today

  • Windows Available now
  • Linux Available now
  • Android Private testing
  • iOS Private testing
  • macOS In development

One licence covers every platform, including the ones still to come — your purchase is not tied to the device you buy it on. But buy on what you can install today: Windows and Linux now, Android and iOS in private testing, macOS in development. Progress is on the download page.

What the free version does

The app is free to install and free to use up to 100 logged hours. You get the whole logbook, the airport and aircraft databases, local sync, and CSV and Excel export. At 75 hours it tells you the cap is coming; at 100 it stops accepting new flights until you buy. The cap counts every hour in your logbook, including hours you import or carry forward from a previous logbook; simulator sessions don't count. And your logbook is never locked: reading, exporting and backing it up keep working whether or not you ever buy.

What “lifetime” means here, precisely

Your licence unlocks Pro as a signed file stored on your device, not a subscription we keep re-checking. Once activated, Pro keeps working offline indefinitely — with no network, and with our servers switched off. There is no expiry date on it and no re-validation deadline.

Two things do need us, and we would rather say so than let you find out: activating a new device (a reinstall, or a new phone) needs one online sign-in, and device-to-device sync uses certificates that need a sign-in roughly every 90 days to renew. Your logbook, your data and every local Pro feature carry on regardless.

And if we ever shut the licensing service down, we have committed in the Terms (§6) to publishing a build that removes both of those checks, so activation and sync keep working without us. That is a term of your purchase, not a promise in a blog post.

The one cost that grows with use is quarantined

AI Scan is the one metered feature — it calls a cloud vision model and we are billed per page. So it is sold separately, in page packs, instead of being funded out of a fixed one-time payment. That is what keeps this price honest: nothing in the product has a per-user running cost that would one day have to be covered by a subscription. Lifetime includes 10 free pages.

You don't have to trust the lifetime promise

Your logbook is one SQLite file on your own device — openable with sqlite3 whether or not we still exist. CSV and XLS export stay free forever, Pro or not. And converting this licence into a subscription isn't a policy we could quietly revise: it is ruled out in the Terms (§6) and the EULA (§5). Your exit is written down before you pay.

Prefer to buy on the App Store or Google Play? In-app purchase lands with the iOS and Android store releases — and the entitlement syncs across every platform we ship, on any device you sign in on.
