Lometics · St. Gallen, Switzerland

Software you buy once and own.

No subscriptions, ever. And your data stays on your device, not scattered across online services you can't leave anymore. That's the software we build.

Rented software vs. owned software
Rented Lometics
You pay every month, forever once per version
The price goes up whenever they decide, and regularly does is fixed the day you buy
You stop paying you're locked out it keeps working
Your data lives on their servers on your device
The code closed, you have to trust them source available, read it yourself
You want to leave export, if they let you your files are already yours

What we stand for

Two promises behind everything we make.

Every app we build follows the same two rules. We don't bend them for a feature, a business model or a growth chart.

  1. 01

    Buy once. Own it.

    You pay once for a version, and it's yours. It never expires and never stops working, even if you never pay us again.

    • No subscriptions, ever
    • No price increases on what you already own
    • Fixes and updates within your version are free
    • A new major version with new features is a new purchase, if you want it
    • Source available: you can read the code of what you own
  2. 02

    Your data stays with you.

    If your data can live on your own device, that's where our software keeps it. It works offline, and nothing is sent anywhere it doesn't need to go.

    • Offline first, cloud only where it's truly needed
    • No account just to use the app
    • Plain formats you can open, back up and take anywhere

How buying works

Like buying software used to work, and should.

  1. 01

    Buy a version

    One price. No account, no monthly charge, no trial that turns into a subscription.

  2. 02

    Keep it

    Your version keeps working for as long as you like. Fixes and improvements within it are free.

  3. 03

    Upgrade if it's worth it

    When a new major version brings new features, you decide whether to buy it. Staying on the old one is fine too.


Built this way

The apps are what comes out of it.

We build our own software around these two promises. Here's what we've made so far.
