About Subscriptions
Why is there a subscription?
Running cloud servers is not free and neither is development.
We have chosen not to charge directly for the development costs associated with Mimiri Notes.
Instead we charge for cloud services where we have running costs.

Why should I subscribe?
There are two main reasons to subscribe:
- You need more storage space
- You want to help ensure the continued development of Mimiri Notes
Can I just use the free tier forever?
Yes. The free tier is not time-limited, and you can use it indefinitely.
Can I self-host instead of subscribing?
Yes, it’s technically possible to run your own server — all of the code (client and server) is available on GitHub under GPLv2.
However, at the moment self-hosting is not simple. Realistically, it requires software engineering skills to get running. If you are not a developer, you’re unlikely to succeed without significant effort.
We will make self-hosting easier in the future.
