Registry 2026-10-09.draft1; evidence checked 2026-10-03. This is disclosure-only foundation work. It does not mean released apps enforce review before every download, and no real model workflow is verified ready by this snapshot. A local acknowledgement does not grant rights or complete a provider's own agreement or gated-access process.

Quick answers

Is it really free?
The desktop app is open source under AGPL-3.0, so yes. Pro and Lifetime are a separate build with a paid Commercial License and extra features, for teams that need commercial terms.
Licence guide
Does it phone home?
The free app needs no account or cloud, and goes online when you ask it to: checking for updates or downloading a model. Pro needs an account and sends licence and usage data.
Privacy
Do I need a fancy GPU?
Nope. About 8 GB of RAM is enough to start. A GPU just makes everything faster.
System needs
Can I clone any voice?
Only with the owner's say-so. Impersonation and fraud are off the table.
The rules
Changed my mind. Refund?
7 days, full refund, no questions asked. Direct Pro doesn't renew automatically.
Refund policy
Where do I get help?
