Pricing
Conberate is in public beta and costs nothing. No trial that expires, no card, no tier that hides a feature behind it. What it does have is a bill — a small, specific one — and people who choose to cover it.
Every feature, nothing held back, nothing asked for. When the beta ends there will be a price. It will be announced here first, and it will never be applied retroactively to anyone already using the tool.
The formula, as usual
The app prints the formula beside every number it shows you. It would be strange to make an exception for its own finances.
It's built by one person — a student, in the hours around a degree — with no company, no salary, and no investor to answer to. That isn't a hardship; it's the reason the constraints inside the app get to stay where they are. Nothing here needs to grow, so nothing here needs to nag you.
Support
Apple charges $99 a year for the certificate that removes the “unidentified developer” dialog. Until it is paid, macOS asks you to open Conberate through System Settings the first time. Three clicks, explained on the download page. That is the honest state of things.
Enough to say the tool was worth something to you.
Keeps the sync running for everyone, for one month.
The whole Apple Developer Program. One person can end that warning for everyone.
Support is only wired up for Vietnamese bank transfer and MoMo right now: a student in Vietnam cannot open a card gateway without a registered business. If you're outside Vietnam and want to help anyway, email me and we'll sort something out.
Email meMoney questions
Do I need an account to try it?
Yes — the app signs you in so your days sync and stay backed up. The beta asks for nothing else: no card, ever.
What do I get for supporting?
Nothing you wouldn't otherwise have. There is no supporter tier, no badge, and no feature behind it. You get an app that stops warning people on first launch, and a reply from me.
What happens to supporter money if the project stops?
It has already been spent on the domain and the certificates — those are the only things it buys. If the project stops, the app you have on disk keeps working; it does not phone home for permission to run.
Take the whole tool today. Decide about money later, or never.
