How upgrading works

Import documents and chat locally with Community features.

Tap Upgrade in the app

Choose a 28-day free trial, or subscribe immediately if you're ready now.

4

Pro unlocks instantly

Your card is handled securely by Stripe — Privybox never sees or stores it.

Frequently asked questions

Does Privybox ever send my files to the cloud?

No. Document import, embeddings, search, and chat all run locally on your machine via Ollama. The only thing that ever touches our server is license/subscription status — never file names, file content, or usage data.

How does the 28-day trial work?

Starting a trial requires a card up front. You get full Pro access for 28 days; if you don't cancel, billing starts automatically at $10/month. If you'd rather not wait, you can skip the trial and subscribe immediately instead — both options are offered when you tap Upgrade.

What's different about Pro?

Community handles plain text files with a generous per-source limit — enough for most personal use. Pro adds support for PDF, Word, and other common document formats, plus priority updates and support.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes, anytime, from inside the app. If your subscription ends, Privybox automatically reverts to Community features — your data stays on your machine either way, nothing is deleted.

Is Privybox available for Windows or Linux?

Not yet. macOS is supported today, with Windows and Linux planned.

Do you offer Enterprise deployments?

Yes — see our Enterprise page for custom integrations and on-site or remote implementation.
