Pricing
Free to write. Paid to have it everywhere.
The full journal is free, with no page limit. Nacre Plus pays for the parts that cost money every month: storage, servers, and the AI that writes your Chapters.

Why a subscription and not a one-off purchase
Because the paid part costs money every month: storing your photos, running sync, and paying for the AI that writes your Chapters. A single payment for a recurring service is a promise you eventually fail to keep. The journal itself stays free — and if you stop paying, you keep everything and carry on writing.
Frequently asked questions
What do I lose if I stop paying?
Nothing you have written. Your pages, quests, people and already-generated chapters stay on your device and stay exportable. You simply return to the free tier: one synced device, 3 themes, and no new Chapter each month.
Why is cross-device sync paid?
Because it is the part with a real recurring cost: servers and storage, every month, for every user. Backing up your text is free and unlimited — you will never lose your journal because you did not pay.
How do I cancel?
From the subscriptions section of your App Store or Google Play account, in two taps, without writing to us. Apple and Google handle billing; we never see your card.
Is there a free trial?
The entire journal is free with no time limit, which is better than a trial: you can write for months before wondering whether you want Plus. And the first Chapter is free, so you can judge it on the evidence.
Can I pay once and be done?
No, deliberately. There are two plans, monthly and yearly. A permanent purchase for a service that costs money every month always ends badly, for you as much as for us.
