The questions buyers actually ask, answered without marketing fog. If something's not here, reply to the checkout email or write hello@bringyour.ai.
Yes, the price rises as the product matures. $19 and $29 are genuinely for the first and next ten buyers — these aren't infinite inventory. Once the $49 tier is the only option, it continues to go up whenever we ship a meaningful toolkit addition. Buyers who paid $19 keep getting every future tool free; the rising price only affects future buyers.
Your CLI keeps working — licenses are verified with embedded ed25519 public keys, no remote check-in required. The remote MCP server at bringyour.ai/mcp would go offline, but the local portable binary works offline. Source is open enough that if we ever stopped maintaining it, buyers could fork and keep going.
A lifetime license for everything BringYour ships now AND every tool we add to the Foundry Practitioner Toolkit later. Current capabilities:
No subscription, no auto-renew, no upsell emails.
After Stripe checkout, a signed envelope (ed25519 over your email + key + purchase timestamp) is emailed to you. Paste it into ~/.bringyour/license or set BRINGYOUR_LICENSE in your environment. The CLI verifies the signature locally; the remote MCP server verifies via the X-License-Key header. No remote phone-home, no telemetry, no account system.
Personal-use licenses are tied to an email, not a device. Move to as many machines as you own. Transferring to a different person isn't supported — each license stays with the email that purchased it.
30-day refund on request, no questions asked, emailed to hello@bringyour.ai with the receipt's email address. Your license gets revoked on refund. After 30 days refunds are case-by-case.
Only for the bootstrap command when it drafts a new harness from your GitHub profile — that calls an LLM. migrate and install_harness don't need an API key; they're deterministic file transformations. If you don't want to configure your own key, we cover a modest hosted-key fallback per license.
A bundle of tools for people who build with AI agents full-time, starting with BringYour. Every future addition ships free to anyone who paid this round — no new charge, no pro tier, no enterprise upsell. Planned next tools include a multi-harness sync daemon, a versioned agent vault with rollback, and a context-budget heatmap. Shane picks what ships next based on buyer feedback.

The portable doctor command runs without a license — it reports what AI tools you have installed and their harness status. Enough to see the tool exists and works on your machine. The migrate, bootstrap, and remote MCP tools/call paths require a license.
Nothing automatic. The CLI is local-first; file transforms happen on your machine. The remote MCP server only receives what you explicitly pass as tool arguments. No analytics, no telemetry, no crash reporting. The license check is a local signature verification — your buyer email isn't phoned home on every invocation.
One person plus AI agents. The whole stack — CLI, MCP server, web site, payment pipeline, lead autoresponder, monitoring — is operated by Shane with automated agents doing the build, deploy, and maintenance work. No team, no investors, no runway clock.
