Frequently asked questions

Is Free really free forever?+
Yes. The local desktop app is MIT-licensed open source. We commit to never paywalling features that already exist in v1.0. Revenue comes from cloud sync, team dashboards, and enterprise services — not from selling binaries.
Why do you charge for Pro if everything is open-source?+
You're paying for the cloud infrastructure (encrypted sync server, mobile PWA hosting, friend leaderboard ranking, AI assistant API). You can self-host the cloud server from the same repo for free.
Can I cancel any time?+
Yes. Pro is month-to-month. Team has a 14-day money-back guarantee. Enterprise contracts are annual with 30-day exit clauses. If you cancel, your local data stays — you only lose cloud sync.
Do you offer student / open-source maintainer discounts?+
Yes — 50% off Pro for verified students (.edu) and open-source maintainers with 100+ stars. Email hi@mintforai.com.
Is there a Team annual discount?+
Yes. Team = $19/seat/mo or $190/seat/yr (2 months free). Min 3 seats either way.
How does data residency work for Enterprise?+
We offer EU (Frankfurt) + US (Virginia) + on-prem deployment via Helm chart. The data never crosses regions unless you opt in.
What's your refund policy?+
Pro: cancel anytime, no questions. Team: 14-day money-back. Enterprise: pro-rated refund for unused term if you cancel within first 60 days.
When does Pro launch?+
Q3 2026. Waitlist signups get 1 month free + early access to friend leaderboard invite codes.
Is there a lifetime deal?+
Yes — Lifetime Pro $199 (one-time) for the first 500 customers. After that, the deal closes permanently and Pro reverts to monthly/annual only. Lifetime includes every future Pro feature: cloud sync, mobile PWA, multi-provider live, friend leaderboard, Ask pulse AI, and anything we ship under Pro through pulse v9.x.
What's the difference between pulse and ClaudeMetrics?+
ClaudeMetrics requires manual export upload and is Claude-only. pulse runs locally, parses ~/.claude/projects/*.jsonl directly with no upload step, and combines AI usage with subscription tracking + activity tracking in one dashboard. Both are valid tools — pulse is for the developer who wants the full picture in real time.
Does pulse work without internet?+
Yes. The local app needs internet only twice: (1) on first run to fetch FX rates from frankfurter.dev, cached for 24h, and (2) optionally to check for updates. Subscription tracking + AI usage parsing + activity tracking all work fully offline.
Will pulse phone home? Track me? Sell my data?+
No, no, and no. Local mode has zero outbound calls except the FX rate fetch. Telemetry is opt-in and defaults to OFF. Cloud features (Pro+) are opt-in per metric, and synced data is end-to-end encrypted (AES-256-GCM + Argon2id) — the server cannot read your data even if compromised. We're MIT-licensed; audit the source.
What platforms does pulse support?+
Today: Windows 10 + 11 (system tray app via pystray + Win32 APIs). Q3 2026: native macOS (Apple Silicon + Intel universal2 build). Q4 2026: Linux (AppImage). The cross-platform shim (platform_compat.py) is already in the repo — macOS and Linux work from source today, just unsigned.
Can I self-host the cloud server?+
Yes. The cloud server (cloud/auth.py, cloud/sync.py, api/server.py) is MIT-licensed and ships in the same repo. Bring your own Supabase project, set SUPABASE_URL + SUPABASE_ANON_KEY, deploy. No paywall, no rate limit. We charge for hosting + maintenance, not for the right to use the software.
What AI providers does pulse track?+
v1.0 (today): Claude Code via local ~/.claude/projects/*.jsonl parser. v1.1 (Q3 2026): OpenAI (ChatGPT + API), Cursor (local state DB), Google Gemini (Studio + app), GitHub Copilot (flat + audit log). Browser extension (v1.2) captures web sessions for ChatGPT, Claude.ai, Gemini, Perplexity.
