Manifesto
Software should be yours.
We believe software should be yours. Bought because it's useful, kept because it works, and never tied to a recurring payment unless there's a genuine reason for it.
Not every note taking app, timer, editor, tracker, or everyday utility needs to become another monthly subscription, sometimes, buying it once is simply the better experience.
Permanent software was created to build exactly that, useful software that's purchased, not rented.
Our principles
Five rules we do not break.
01
Try before you buy
Use every feature before making a decision, buy it only if it earns a place on your device.
02
Buy once
Pay once and keep using it, no recurring payments, no subscriptions.
03
Offline first
No internet? No problem, your apps keep working wherever you are.
04
No forced accounts
If an account isn't necessary, we won't ask for one, open the app and get started.
05
Keep it simple
Every feature has a purpose, nothing more than what you need.
Why permanent

The industry moved to subscriptions, we did not.
