Hello @jonp, I really appreciate your detailed response. Thanks a lot.

Thank you all for your replies! I understand that you may already have plans in place, even if this isn’t the right time to discuss them publicly. However, the sentence “they may also provide a subscription service” is not very reassuring at the moment. I would have preferred to read “they will” or “they must,” as that would sound more realistic and proactive to me. This thread was simply about whether the team is being realistic about this. I’m genuinely trying to be constructive here — I really want this project to succeed!

Hi, I’m one of the happy lifetime license holders for HexOS, and overall, I’m really excited about where the project is headed. But there’s one thing I’m worried about: long-term sustainability. I get that selling lifetime licenses is great for upfront cash flow, but how do you plan to keep the project financially healthy in 5 or 10 years? Honestly, it reminds me a bit of what is happening with Plex, and that’s kind of worrying. For the same reason, I’ll never buy services like pCloud with “lifetime” storage. I assume you have a strategy for this—maybe optional subscription services (like cloud backup, premium/enterprise support, etc.). Could you share a bit about it? Are you confident that these income streams will be enough? Even though I’ve already paid for my license, this actually affects my decision about whether to start my main server on HexOS. Long-term viability matters more to me than the initial cost, to be honest. I’m not trying to be critical—just looking for some clarity to feel more confident about the future. Thanks for any insights!

I would love to have visibility into the app curation roadmap, even without timelines, to get a list of the next apps to be curated.

+1 is there any plans regarding ARM as of today ?
