Why Is Pensieve a Paid App?

Pensieve is supported by the people who use it.

As a small business and an independent app developer, my mission is to build useful software that respects the humanity of the humans who use it.

That’s why I’ve chosen a paid app business model for Pensieve. I only earn money when people pay for Pensieve, which means I have to make an app that people love and find useful. I view my job as an app developer as a fiduciary duty to you: to provide a reliable and helpful service that brings you joy while caring for your time, attention, and well-being.

Therefore, Pensieve doesn’t do any of the icky things that other apps do, like try to manipulate you, try to keep your attention, pester you with notifications, or collect and sell your data. Pensieve doesn’t want your attention.

Asking people to pay for the app keeps my interests aligned with theirs. Being a paid app ensures that Pensieve is made for the folks who use it every day.
