Support Shellvane
Shellvane is free for everyone, with every feature: no trial, no limits, no account. It is made by one person, and donations pay for what keeps it going.

Questions
Is it really free?
Yes: every feature, team vault and assistant included, on every computer, also at work.
What do donations unlock?
Nothing: everything is already included. They help pay the costs and the time the project needs.
Is it open source?
The community edition is open source under the GNU AGPL-3.0 and can be built from the source code; the app on this site adds the team vault and the assistant, free as well.
Does Shellvane collect data about me?
No account, no cookies, no tracking. The update check tells GitHub only the version and the system. See the privacy page.
