Prototype. There's nothing to download yet, no mutuals exist, and no lawyer has read the trust deed or the licence. We're publishing early so it can be tried and argued with.

We're not like traditional open source. We want you to be an owner, not just have a licence to use it.

Try it free for three months. After that, you join a mutual and pay your dues — or tell them you can't afford it, and nobody asks why. Nothing ever locks; the app just reminds you.

Not yet — this site is a prototype. There's no public build to download while the trust and the licence are being finished. Thanks for clicking; it tells us the page works.

No email, no account, no sign-up. The full source comes with every release.

Why owners?

A traditional open-source user isn't an owner — they're licensed to use someone else's code. To build a big, high-quality, user-facing open app that users genuinely own, we need a lot of owners. That's the whole idea.
