Free gives you the local notebook, kanban, and two-way MCP sync — enough to work with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Cline, Zed, or Antigravity from one board. Paid adds Mo work packets and Auto-code build-review loops. Early-adopter rates locked in — prices will go up.
The local notebook + kanban + MCP sync, on one machine. Daily-driver ready before you automate anything.
Save 50% billed annually. Locked in for early subscribers — price will go up.
Unlimited boards, granular AI permissions, Mo work packets on your LLM key, the Auto-code workflow harness, and every future paid feature as it ships.
No telemetry in any tier. Free works without a network. The paid tier renews annually or monthly — cancel any time. Your data stays on your disk in every tier.

No. Free gives the full notebook, full MCP, atomic task claim, and up to 2 kanban boards. Paid adds governance, unlimited boards, Mo, and Auto-code. Paid adds — never removes.
Everything we charge for, today and in the future. Three concrete things matter most:
We tried the multi-tier ladder. It pushed us toward inventing artificial walls between features. Simpler call: charge for the paid surface area once, ship every paid feature into the same tier. If you pay, you get everything we make.
Yes. Point Mo at a local Ollama (or any OpenAI-compatible local endpoint) and Mo will use it the same way it uses cloud providers. Nothing leaves your machine. This is as offline as Mo gets.
On Free, no — nothing leaves your machine. On Paid, your data leaves only when you choose a cloud LLM provider — and only the slice Mo or Auto-code needs for the current task, not your whole notebook. If you point Mo / Auto-code at a local LLM, nothing leaves the machine. Full details in privacy policy.
Your boards stay — nothing is deleted. You can read and edit existing tasks. Creating new tasks is blocked until the board count is down to 2. The app shows a clear upgrade-suggestion popup so you never lose work silently.
They stay. Project Memory, anything Mo wrote into your notebook, and any workflow graphs you composed live in your local data file — they're yours, untouched. Mo stops watching new activity, Auto-code stops running. Re-subscribe and they pick up where you left off.
Yes. Cancel in the app or in your Stripe billing portal. You keep the paid tier until the end of the current period, then drop to Free. Your notes, boards, and settings are untouched.
After checkout, Stripe emails your license key. Open Morion → gear → Subscription → paste the key to activate. Verification is fully offline once activated.
macOS, Windows, and Linux (Ubuntu/Debian x86_64) are all live. Your subscription works on every platform we ship to.
Free is the trial — the whole notebook + MCP, just capped at 2 boards and no Mo / no Auto-code. If you want unlimited boards plus Mo and Auto-code, Paid is $8/month billed annually. Cancel anytime.
macOS, Windows & Linux all live today.
