Founders — Pre-1.0 backers
Back ClauLock before 1.0.
$49 once → 2 years of Pro.
The cheapest secrets-manager bug is the one you never have to ship a patch for. Pre-1.0 backers fund the time to build the never-reveal invariant correctly the first time — no shortcuts, no telemetry, no plaintext-passing-through-our-cloud convenience.
Pay year one, year two is on us. Your name credited on the public Founders wall (opt-in), early access to new Pro features before GA, and a vote on the roadmap. One-time — no renewals, no surprises.
2,500 slots. Offer closes when v1.0 ships or when all slots claim — whichever first. After that, Pro returns to $49/year. Not a discount — crowd-funding for a solo dev who refuses to sell your plaintext.

What's open, what's paid
Free means free. The cryptography, vault format, and Claude Code hooks are Apache-2.0. The product layer — CLI, daemon, MCP server, UI, site — is BUSL-1.1, non-production use is unrestricted, production use inside your own organization is permitted, and the license auto-converts to Apache-2.0 on 2030-05-01. You may not resell the BSL components as a hosted service that competes with ClauLock's paid offerings.
Pro and Enterprise features live in a separate repository under a commercial license. The only feature gate that calls home is the initial license-key activation; after that, verification is offline via Ed25519. No telemetry, no phone-home, no beacon.
Pricing FAQ
Can I use ClauLock at work for free?
Yes. BUSL-1.1 permits internal production use inside your organization. You only need a paid tier if you want sync, breach detection, rotation helpers, or the compliance features.
Why annual only for Pro?
$49/year (~$4/month effective) is below one coffee per month. Annual billing lets us commit engineering time to you for a year instead of reacting to churn every 30 days. If you need month-to-month, open a GitHub Discussion — we won't say no.
What does $49 as a Founder get me?
Two years of Pro ($98 value) — pay one year, year two is on us. Plus your name credited on the public Founders wall (opt-in), early access to new Pro features before GA, and one vote on the public roadmap via GitHub Discussions. One-time payment — no renewal surprises.
How long is the Founder offer open?
2,500 slots total, closing when v1.0 ships or when all slots claim — whichever lands first. After that, Pro returns to $49/year with no Founder tier.
How does license activation work?
After checkout, you receive an Ed25519-signed license key by email. Run `clsec license install <key>` once. Features unlock locally. No server call at runtime after activation.
What happens if I stop paying?
Your vault and all Free-tier features keep working, forever. Pro features gracefully disable; sync stops at the last known state. Your data is never locked inside the product.
Do you offer student / OSS pricing?
The Free tier covers students and maintainers already. For OSS projects that want Pro for maintainer team accounts, start a thread in GitHub Discussions.
Refund policy?
Full refund within 14 days, no questions. Reply to the Stripe receipt or ping the @Mackint0uch maintainer via GitHub.
Can I self-host sync? Do you have Enterprise?
Enterprise is planned and is custom, floor $50k ACV, and includes self-hosted sync, SOC 2 / HIPAA exports, SAML SSO, policy engine, PKCS#11 KDF, tamper-evident audit log, and 99.9% SLA. Open a GitHub Discussion to start the conversation.
