Free for one phone. Pay once for more. Cloud by the month.
Everything shipped today is free while Tinyphone is in early access. The ladder below is the plan; a price goes live only when there is a way to pay.
Free
$0
- The iPhone app, every mode on your own phone
- The Mac app, one phone, every mode
- The key stays on your Mac; no account needed
Plus
about $20, once
- Any number of phones on your Mac
- Your own modes, saved and shared
- The same Plus in the iPhone app and the Mac App Store
- Pay by card on the web, or in the app
Cloud
a few dollars a month
- Change a phone from your own iPhone or the web, in seconds
- Schedules that switch the phone on time: school hours, bedtime
- Battery, last seen, and the phone's requests answered from afar
- Cancel any time; the phone keeps its last mode
A decision, not a service.
- The Mac app never needs a subscription
- If we disappeared tomorrow your phone would keep the setup you gave it
- The only subscription is Cloud, because servers bill monthly
One ledger, two tills.
- Bought inside the iPhone app or the Mac App Store: Apple's purchase
- Bought on the web or in the downloaded Mac app: a card through Stripe
- Both unlock the same account; no one is told they bought the wrong kind
Do I need an account?
No. The iPhone app and the Mac app work without one. An account comes with Cloud, to change your phones from your iPhone or the web.
What happens to a phone if I stop paying for Cloud?
It keeps its last mode. Changes need the cable again until Cloud is back.
