Price & paywall

7 days free. Then same Nova, three ways to pay, via Paddle: $3 / month, $15 / year (the one we recommend), $35 lifetime. No Light/Pro split. No packs on this table — packs stay later, à la carte on top of Nova.

Lifetime means this Nova (the current line), not automatically the next master version. A major rewrite may be a paid upgrade. Do not put that on the public page; “this Nova, for as long as you run it” is enough.

License in the main process, fail-open offline, a few days’ grace on monthly if the Mac is offline. Notarize before we take money. Don’t call it uncrackable.
