An Open-Source App Builder
Open source, MIT-licensed, and given away because we'd rather hand you the workshop than sell you the doorway to it.
A philosophy you only ever sell against is just marketing. The App Factory is the version of "own your software" we couldn't in good conscience keep on a leash. It's MIT-licensed — the most permissive licence there is — which means you can fork it, change it, brand it, embed it in your own product, and sell what you build with it. We think the purest form of ownership is owning the means of production.
What the MIT licence actually gives you
Everything short of pretending we didn't write the original. Use commercially, modify, distribute, sublicense, sell. Keep the copyright notice in the source and you're done. No copyleft, no viral clauses, no royalty tables.
Why open source, not "free tier"
A free tier is a hallway with a paywall at the end. Open source is a house you own. The distinction matters when the vendor pivots, gets acquired, or decides your use case belongs in the paid plan next quarter.
Where the source lives
Inside the file. There is no separate repository to trust — every export contains the code that runs it, in a form you can read. That is the point. You can audit what you use because you have it, not because someone published a version of it.
Frequently asked
What licence exactly?
MIT — full text ships inside the download. It permits commercial use, modification, distribution and private use. Requires attribution.
Can I remove your branding?
Yes. The MIT licence allows it. We ask you keep the copyright notice in the source file, which nobody sees unless they look for it.
Is there a GitHub?
The download itself is the source. If you want to fork it, do — the file is the repository, in the oldest sense of the word.
Will there be updates?
Occasionally. Old versions keep working. Nothing you have built stops working when a new version ships, because your app is a file, not a subscription.
