Frequently Asked Questions

$6.99 per user per month. Each user comes with 100 GB of cloud storage. If you need more, it's $10/month for 1 TB or $15/month for 2 TB.

For the first 50 teams to sign up and use Facets, we are first and foremost offering a free onboarding session. Second, we will give you a direct line to request features and abilities in the app. And finally, we are offering a lifetime 30% discount on the fee for Facets. In the spirit of full transparency, the discounted price includes the 20% you normally get with the annual deal, plus another 10%. When you request features, it is not a one hundred percent guarantee that we can make them happen based on the app. The whole reason for this beta program is that we launched with a pretty thin set of polished features on purpose, and we want to know from you which direction to expand the app in.

Because I'm one person, not a company with 1,000 engineers, a sales team, and a data monetisation strategy. I don't have the overhead, and I don't need your data to subsidise the product. You pay for users and storage. That just pays for my time to work on this app.

If you're using Notion Plus ($10/month), Dropbox ($12/month), and a task manager like Todoist ($5/month), that's $27/month per person. None of it is end-to-end encrypted. None of it is local-first. Facets does all of that for free if you are solo, for $6.99 per user per month if you need more, or free if you don't need cloud sync.

Mac first. Windows is on the way. Mobile development is rapidly underway since most of my calendar and tasks life lives on mobile too. Internal testing for mobile has already begun.

Yes. Facets is local-first. It runs on your machine and works without an internet connection. When you're back online, it syncs automatically. Nothing is lost in between.

No. The parsing engine is built into the app and runs entirely on your device. Nothing is sent to any cloud service, AI or otherwise.

No, and you don't need to configure anything. It just works out of the box. The thing I hate about modern productivity apps is that you need a user manual to get basic functionality. It really is not that deep.

Well... I had no money to hire a graphic designer. So if you use the app long enough, there will be nicer icons. Or if you are a graphic designer, hit me up. Let the collaboration happen.

Not yet, but if you need this I would love to hear what kind of data you want to import so I can build for it.

Your cloud backups are fully encrypted before they leave your device. The backup is stored, but no one, including Facets, can read what's inside. In fact, if you lose your recovery phrase, neither can you.

No. The encryption means I couldn't read your data even if I wanted to. You don't have to trust me. It's encrypted, and the code is source available, so you can go and look at it to make sure.

Your data lives on your devices, and Facets can't read anything it syncs or backs up. A proper export tool is coming. If you want a specific kind of export, I'd be curious to know what so I can build it.

Your data stays on your machine. Facets is local-first. Cancelling a subscription stops cloud sync, not the app. Everything you've created is still yours, still on your device, still accessible. If you have encrypted files stored in cloud sync, I'd recommend downloading anything you need before your subscription ends. There is a 3-day grace period before the encrypted cloud copies are deleted. Your local files are not deleted.

Passkeys, not passwords. Facets uses the same phishing-resistant passkeys as Apple, Google, and Microsoft. Your encryption keys are created on your Mac, and I never see them.

Yes, the core app and relay server code are available to audit, along with the formal model specs.

Reach out on the contact page. I'm one person. If you write, you'll hear back from me.
