Cleanware · software studio
Own your software. For good.
Software became something you rent. Cleanware is a studio building the opposite: apps you buy once and own forever. They run on your device, work offline (a few download system components once, such as speech models), and get free updates for every new OS version.

// promises
Four promises, compiled into every app
They aren't features we might remove later. They're how the apps are built.
- 01
Pay once, yours forever
Try it free with every feature. One purchase unlocks it for good, with Family Sharing where the store allows it. Nothing renews.
- 02
No account
Open it and start. There's no sign-up, no password to forget and no profile about you on anyone's server.
- 03
No ads
No banners, no pop-ups, nothing “sponsored”. You pay for the app, so the app works for you.
- 04
No tracking
No analytics, no crash reporters, no tracking SDKs. The privacy labels say “Data Not Collected”, and it's true.

// updates
The updates promise
Buying once doesn't mean buying something that stops working. Years pass, new OS versions ship, and we keep updating the apps so they keep working.
| release | what changes | price |
|---|---|---|
| v1.0.1 | Compatibility with each new OS version | Free |
| v1.0.2 | Bug fixes and security patches | Free |
| v1.1 | Polish and small improvements | Free |
| v2.0 | A major new feature | May be paid |
The honest fine print: if we add a major new feature, that version may be a paid upgrade. It's always optional, and the version you already own keeps working.
// roadmap
This is just the beginning
We started with apps people use every day. The plan is to bring buy-once, on-device software to every kind of program we can, for consumers and for industries.
-
01now
Consumer apps
Everyday apps for iPhone, iPad and Mac.
-
02next
Professional software
Desktop tools for Mac, Windows and Linux that professionals rely on every day.
-
03later
Industry software
Software for businesses and industries, built the same way: it runs on your hardware, and you own it.
No dates on purpose: we announce things when they're ready.
// manifesto
Why own your software?
Software shouldn't be rent.
Most apps now bill you every month for tools that barely change. A scanner, a PDF editor or a flashcard app is something you should be able to buy, like a good pen, and keep.
Your work stays yours.
With no server, there's no account to lock you out of, no database to leak and no service to shut down. Your files live on your device, and you can export them whenever you like.
Honest by design.
When you pay once, we only do well if the app is genuinely good. No growth tricks, no dark patterns, no upsell every week.
// studio
A software studio, not a subscription service
Cleanware designs, builds, translates and supports every app in house. No investors to please, no growth targets, no data to sell. We earn money one way: by making software worth buying once.
In English and Spanish
Every app, store listing and help page is written in both languages, with Spanish written for Mexico and Latin America, not machine-translated.
