Why one-time matters here
This is a local utility, not a service. Nothing is hosted for you, so there’s no per-conversation cost, no storage bill and no reason for a recurring charge. You pay once, the files are on your disk, and the app doesn’t stop working if you stop paying.
Try before you buy
The Free Tier is a real build, not a demo: download it, run it on your own conversations, and decide afterwards. It’s limited to 3 AI providers and 5 conversations per download.
