The honest fine print

Really — one payment?
Really. $14.99 once (plus any applicable sales tax or VAT, shown at checkout) unlocks sync & backup and the publishing suite on your account forever, every device you sign in to. The product is called "Sheaf Unlock" at checkout. Writers have had enough of renting their own tools; so have we.
What happens if I never pay?
You keep writing, free, forever — everything stays on your device, and Word and Markdown export stays free too (your words are never locked in). Only sync and the publishing suite wait behind the unlock, and everything you wrote in the meantime uploads the moment you do.
What about AI?
There is none in Sheaf. Nothing reads your manuscript, nothing "learns" from it, and your writing is never used to train AI — ours or anyone's. In Vault mode we couldn't even if we wanted to: we only ever hold encryption we can't undo.
What if something goes wrong with a purchase?
Email hello@sheaf.ink and we'll make it right — full refunds within 14 days of purchase, no questions asked (the details live in our Refund Policy). A refund only pauses sync; your words never leave your devices.
