Sovereignty

No lock-in, no landlord, no exit tax

Self-host the whole suite or move your site and data anywhere. The software is a one-time owned license, and leaving is always a supported path, not a punishment.

The freedom to leave is the point

Most platforms are designed so that leaving is expensive, awkward, or quietly impossible. Your site lives in their editor, your data lives in their cloud, and the moment you stop paying, both go dark. Meredosia is built on the opposite principle. Because the suite is local-first, your data is already on your hardware, and because the license is owned rather than rented, the software keeps working. Self-hosting and portability are not escape hatches we tolerate, they are core promises. The whole design assumes you might one day want to walk away, and makes sure that day costs you nothing you cannot recover.

What owning it looks like

Ownership is the difference between a tool you can rely on for decades and a subscription that can be revoked. Here is what the owned, self-hostable model gives you.

Self-host the stack

Run the whole suite on your own hardware or your own server. Nothing essential depends on a Meredosia-operated cloud staying online.

Move your site anywhere

Your published site and its content are portable. Take them to another host, another domain, or another machine on your terms.

The software is yours

A one-time owned license means the app you installed keeps running. There is no kill switch tied to a lapsed subscription.

Keys and identity in hand

Your DID-signed identity and encryption keys travel with you, so a move never means re-registering with a gatekeeper.

No exit tax

Leaving costs you no data, no ransom, and no premium unlock. Export is always available and always complete.

Supported path out

Migration is a documented, intended workflow, not an obstacle course you have to reverse-engineer under pressure.

PORTABILITY

The exit-readiness checklist teal

You should be able to leave any tool that runs your livelihood without losing the livelihood. Here is what Meredosia guarantees so that leaving is always genuinely possible.

One-time owned licenseYou buy the software once and own it, so your ability to run the app does not hinge on a live subscription.
Local-first dataYour records already live on your hardware, so there is no cloud to pry them out of when you decide to move.
Single-file exportContacts, content, and bookings come out together in one portable file, in open formats, on demand.
Self-hostableRun the entire suite on your own machine or server, with no hard dependency on a Meredosia-operated cloud.
Portable siteMove your published site and content to another host or domain without rebuilding it from scratch.
Open formatsData and content are stored in documented, readable formats so another system can pick up where you left off.
Identity you carryYour DID-signed identity and Ed25519 keys are yours to bring along, not credentials trapped in a vendor account.
Your own money railsBecause you connect your own processors, moving off Meredosia does not disturb how you get paid.
No hostage historyNo plan, seat count, or billing state can gate access to records or content you already created.
Documented migrationLeaving is a supported, described path rather than an undocumented dead end you discover too late.
SELF-HOST

Run the whole thing yourself violet

Self-hosting is not a stripped-down mode, it is the full suite running on infrastructure you control. Your data stays sealed at rest, your identity stays in your hands, and nothing critical depends on a cloud you do not operate.

  • Your hardware Run the suite on your own machine or server, keeping data and compute inside a boundary you define.
  • Sealed at rest Records remain encrypted with AES-256-GCM wherever you host them, protected by your own identity.
  • No cloud dependency The core experience does not require a Meredosia-operated service to stay online for you to keep working.

Move your site anywhere sky

Your website is content and structure, not a hostage. Because it is built on open formats and exports cleanly, you can move it to another host, point it at another domain, or archive it, without begging for permission.

  • Portable content Pages, media, and structure export in open formats you can carry to another environment.
  • Your domain, your call Point your site at whatever domain and host you choose, without a platform holding the wiring.
  • Rebuild-free move Take the site with you rather than reconstructing it by hand somewhere else.

LICENSE

A license you own, not rent amber

The business itself is a one-time owned license, metered on the higher of seats or locations, never both. You can pay in full or spread it across twelve monthly payments, but either way the software becomes yours rather than a recurring toll.

  • Owned, not rented Buy once and the app keeps running. There is no subscription whose lapse turns the software off.
  • Seats or locations Pricing is metered on the higher of seats or locations, so you are counted once, on the dimension that actually reflects your size.
  • Pay your way Settle in full or over twelve monthly payments, and land on a license you keep either way.

Own it, never rent it

The real difference is who it belongs to.

Renting your business

the typical builder

A monthly fee forever. Stop paying and your site, bookings, and store go dark.
Bookings, a CRM, and payments are each an upsell, gated one feature at a time.
They hold your data and your customer list on their servers.
Payments route through their balance and their cut before you see a dollar.
Export is an afterthought. Lock-in is the whole business model.

Owning it with the sovereign way

how this works

A one-time owned license. It keeps working because it is yours to keep.
Website, CRM, booking, and payments are all included, with no per-feature ransom.
Your data is local-first, encrypted, and leaves in a single clean export.
Payouts settle straight to your bank on your own processor. No middle balance.
No lock-in. Self-host the whole thing or move it anywhere, anytime.

How you would walk away

  1. Export everything

    Pull contacts, content, and bookings into one clean file in open formats. It is always available, never gated.

  2. Take the site

    Move your published site and its content to another host or domain, without rebuilding it by hand.

  3. Carry your identity

    Your DID-signed identity and keys come with you, so access follows you to the next machine or host.

  4. Keep your money rails

    Because you already connect your own processors, your payouts and payment history are unaffected by the move.

  5. Keep running the app

    The owned license means Meredosia keeps working on your hardware for as long as you want it to.

Self-hosting and exit questions

Can I really host the whole suite myself?
Yes. Self-hosting runs the full suite on your own machine or server, with your data sealed at rest and no hard dependency on a Meredosia-operated cloud.
What happens to the app if Meredosia disappears?
It keeps running. Because the license is a one-time owned license and the suite is local-first, the software you installed does not depend on us staying in business to keep working.
How do I move my website somewhere else?
Your site and content are built on open formats and export cleanly, so you can move them to another host or domain without rebuilding from scratch.
Is there an exit fee or a premium unlock to leave?
No. Export is always available and complete, and there is no ransom, exit tax, or paywall standing between you and your own data.
How does the license actually work?
It is a one-time owned license metered on the higher of seats or locations, never both, across five rungs. You can pay in full or over twelve monthly payments. Full pricing lives on the pricing page.
Do I lose my payment setup if I move?
No. You connect your own Stripe, Square, PayPal, or Clover accounts, so your money rails and payout history stay intact regardless of where you host.
Will my identity work on a new machine?
Yes. Your DID-signed identity and keys travel with you, and roaming sign-in plus recovery shares let you bring access to another trusted device.
Is migration documented or do I have to figure it out?
It is a supported, intended path. Leaving is treated as a normal workflow rather than an undocumented dead end.
