Answers about activation, devices, data and licensing.

How does activation work?

Your license key starts with PLIANT-1-. Open Pliant → License Center, paste the key and you're activated — no internet connection required. Keys are cryptographically signed and verified locally.

What does "local-first" actually mean?

All of your notes, plans and decisions are stored on your own machine — never uploaded to a server. Pliant works entirely offline, and you can export a full JSON backup at any time.

Where do I buy a license?

Licenses are sold through authorized reseller channels in limited monthly allocations. Each key is individually signed — treat it like a product key and keep it safe.

Can I move to a new computer?

Yes. Install Pliant on the new machine and activate with the same key — each license covers up to 3 devices. Export your data as JSON and import it on the new machine.

Is there really no subscription?

Really. One payment, perpetual license. We believe personal tools should be owned, not rented.

What platforms are supported?

Pliant currently ships as a Windows desktop app. macOS and Linux builds are on the roadmap.

What if I lose my key?

Contact your reseller with proof of purchase and the key can be re-issued. Keep your key somewhere safe — a password manager works well.
