The roadmap
What isn’t in the list, and why.
Selling a feature that doesn’t exist is the fastest way to earn a refund request. So these are named here, once, and appear nowhere near a price.
Not built — not sold
These appear nowhere in the list above and are not in Anchor today. The database schema anticipates them; the app does not do them yet. When they ship, they arrive as an ordinary update.
- PlannedSmart collections— Rules that file things for you
- PlannedSync between your Macs— The schema is there; the sync itself is not
- PlannedExport your whole library— The library is a plain SQLite file today; a real exporter is not written yet
- PlannedBroken link checking— Flags links that have stopped resolving
How early access works
Anchor is free while it’s in early access — every feature, with no card, no account and no licence key.
It will become a paid subscription later. Before anything changes you’ll hear well in advance, and whatever happens, everything you’ve saved stays searchable, openable and yours.
The principle
Why it works the way it does.
Retrieval is never limited
Capping what you have already saved, or your ability to find it, would make Anchor untrustworthy. That holds now, and it will hold once Anchor is paid.
No tiers to outgrow
Splitting the app into tiers means deciding which of your habits to ration. One plan with everything in it is simpler to buy and simpler to build.
Free while it’s early
Early access is free so Anchor can be shaped by the people using it. It becomes a paid subscription later, with plenty of notice — and nothing you saved is ever taken away.
