Buy once instead of Craft
2 apps in the directory cover what people use Craft for. 1 of them is a one-time purchase, and one costs nothing at all.
Read the catch on each one before you switch — a one-time price is not automatically the better deal, and we say so where it is not.
The replacements
Obsidian
local-first markdown vault, free with no feature gates
Free Free
Multi-device sync is $48 a year unless you wire up iCloud or git yourself
Agenda
date-based notes where unlocked features stay unlocked
$34.99 Lifetime tier
The one-time unlock covers today's features plus one year of new ones, not everything after that
