We're in beta — products are not yet available for purchase. Leave your email and we'll notify you when we go live.
Clarity about what we won't do is just as important as what we will.
Most companies make promises and quietly compromise them later. We're designing Nodus so these constraints are technically enforced—not just marketing claims.
We don't centralize your data on our servers to sell you analytics. Your files stay on your device. If you want cloud sync, you choose when and what to sync—but it's never required.
Why this matters: Cloud dashboards create a single point of failure. Account locked? Data gone. Service shuts down? Migration nightmare. Local-first means you always have the original.
Every automation rule is inspectable and editable by you. We don't hide complexity behind "AI magic." If you set up a rule to organize files, you can see exactly what it does and modify it.
Why this matters: Black box automation sounds convenient until it does something you don't understand. Transparency means you stay in control. No surprises.
We don't aggregate usage patterns. We don't sell insights. We don't build shadow profiles. Your behavior—what you organize, what you search, what you store—is yours alone.
Why this matters: Most "free" tools monetize by analyzing your data. We charge money upfront so we don't need to sell you out. Simple business model, aligned incentives.
No dark patterns. No trick dialogs. No confusing unsubscribe flows. No "are you really sure?" manipulation. Clear choices, honestly presented. If you want to leave, we make it easy.
Why this matters: Growth hacks optimize for vendor revenue, not user trust. We'd rather have fewer users who genuinely benefit than millions who feel trapped.
We're not trying to please everyone. Here's who we serve well.
These aren't aspirational values we hope to maintain. They're architectural constraints:
We can't compromise these principles later when "growth requires it" because the software is designed to prevent it.
