Every letter we send lives here in full, in your own language. You don't need an account to read it — and if an offer is still running, you can still join in.
The desktop editions are here — as promised, and 150 credits to go with them
We promised them and you waited for them: the desktop editions have arrived. The same five studios you already know — audio, video, photo, documents and CAD — now run as real programs on your own machine, with the same layout and the same tools.
That they arrive in this shape is largely your doing. Week after week you used the online studios on files we would never have thought of, and the rough edges surfaced one by one. Those first bugs are out. Testing in the open is the only reason this first release is not a first draft.
What a desktop edition does better
- Open and save straight from your own folders, with the file dialog you already know.
- No tab to close by accident, and no browser ceiling on how much you load at once.
- Your work stays where it is while you switch to another program and back.
- Everything runs on your own machine, so nothing waits on a connection.
July's offer has run its course. In its place, every account now holds 150 fresh credits to put the studios through their paces on the web — the accounts that have been with us a while and the ones that joined last week alike. They are already there, there is nothing to claim, and they never expire.
Not a member yet? Create a free account before 31 August 2026 and the 150 credits are waiting for you too. An account costs nothing and asks for nothing beyond an e-mail address and a password.
Like what you find? Then take the desktop edition for a spin. Members hear first when the download opens, and everyone gets fourteen days to use it in full — no payment details, nothing to cancel.
A word about why the web version is paid, because we would rather say it plainly. Every job that runs on our servers costs processing time, and that bill arrives whether one person is working or a thousand. Credits, the day pass and the subscriptions exist to keep that in balance — not to fence anyone off, but so the service is still standing next year. We are glad to be generous; no one can oblige us to keep spending money that never comes back.
What will not change: the everyday tools stay free. Always. Some of them carry a daily limit, because a shared server can only do so much at once, and the ones that run entirely inside your own browser have no limit at all. And whoever does pay gets everything at full strength — no limits, no watermark, nothing held back.
Spend the credits on whatever you like: the studios only ask for them at the moment you export a finished file. And keep an eye on this page — Windows is the first stop, not the last. Thank you for being here; a small independent shop only stays alive because people actually use it.
The studios opened — the step we had been working toward for years
This did not appear out of nowhere. For years we built tools one at a time, and each one was made so it could hand its work to the next. The plan behind that never changed: bring them together into a single place where a whole job can be finished without leaving it.
On 17 July that place existed. Five studios opened as online editions — audio, video, photo, documents and CAD: cut and mix a track, edit a film, build a photo, put a document together, draw a part. One place to bring them all together.
And that was never meant to be the finish line. The online editions came first; the desktop editions were already on the drawing board — Windows first, then Mac — with the mobile editions to follow after them, Android first and then iOS. There is more in motion than we are letting on here. Stay tuned.
Every member received 100 credits that week to try the studios out. That offer has since closed — but the studios stayed, and they are still free to use: you only spend credits at the moment you export a finished file. If you missed the credits back then, the letter above has better news.
