This is exactly why I made Yaak [1]. It's fully offline, no telemetry, open source, and can even sync with Git.

Curious to know more about the commercial licensing scheme for Yaak: if i’ve read correctly, purchasing a pro license if based on « good faith » as the features are exactly the same as the MIT licensed Hobby version?

Sincere question, been studying lots of OSS commercial licensing and always wonder what works in which context

This is a conscious bet I'm making.

Yes, it's a good-faith license. The license doesn't even apply to the OSS version (only prebuilt binaries).

The bet is that super fans will pay for it in the early days and, as it gets adopted by larger companies, they will pay in order to comply with the legalities of commercial use. So far, it's working! The largest company so far is 34 seats, with a couple more in the pipe!

Excellent work! Looking forward your post about some milestone ARR boundary, the gory details of how you got there.

My runway reaches infinity around $10k MRR so I'll likely do a post around then. Currently 11% of the way there!
