Hello, your product looks cool and I don't care about telemetry as it looks here. However, what is your ultimate business model? For tools like this I would prefer either a single purchase or a Jetbrains style annual-pay-with-fallback-licence.


Hey, thanks for the kind words!

The terminal is totally free for individuals. Our business model is to make the terminal so useful for individuals that their companies will want to pay for the team features.

The general philosophy is that we would never charge for anything a terminal currently does. So no paywalls around SSH or anything like that. The types of features we could eventually charge for are things that have a cost to us, for example enabling real-time terminal collaboration. Even those will likely be free up to some level of usage and only charged in a company context.


Alok, would you guys make me a build without the Github login? I'm just unreasonably protective about mine on account of having trading code there.

I'll have someone Venmo you $50 for it (and gas fees haha).


Dope. I shall install this.
