Choose your waters.

The software is the same either way — full source, every feature, no tiers. The only question is who carries the server.

  • 🛟 Community support via GitHub Discussions. Your reef's data is backed up nightly and yours to export.

The honest costs of self-hosting

Self-hosting isn't literally free: you'll want a machine to run it on (a $5 VPS, a Raspberry Pi, or the laptop in your closet), optionally a domain, and a backup habit for one SQLite file and an uploads folder. That's the entire bill.

Not sure which water is yours?

Start self-hosted — it's free, and a hosted reef can always come later. Your notes export as plain Markdown either way, so nothing is ever stranded.
