# Nano Apps

> Nano Apps is a small family of focused, native macOS utilities built by an independent developer. Each app does one thing, does it well, and respects your privacy. getnano.dev is the umbrella site for the Nano family (NanoClip, NanoVoice, NanoPad, and more to come).

Nano apps are:
- Native macOS apps (SwiftUI, Apple platforms only)
- Designed to be tiny, fast, and focused — no bloat, no accounts required
- Privacy-first: data stays on your Mac unless you explicitly choose otherwise
- Sold as one-time lifetime licenses via Polar.sh (no subscriptions)

## Products

- [NanoVoice](https://www.getnano.dev/voice): A keyboard-first Mac dictation app. Press Control+Command+W, speak, and paste speech-to-text at the cursor. Free uses Apple Speech; Lifetime adds Meeting Mode, local Whisper, templates, themes, Ollama, and cloud BYOK.

## Buying and licensing

- Purchases are handled by [Polar.sh](https://polar.sh) from the NanoClip and NanoVoice product pages. Backend checkout endpoints are not intended for crawling.
- Each purchase grants a lifetime license key delivered by email.
- License keys are activated per-device and can be deactivated/moved between Macs.
- The Mac apps validate licenses against endpoints under `https://www.getnano.dev/api/licenses/<app>/` (validate, activate, deactivate). These endpoints proxy to Polar and are intended for the apps themselves, not for general browsing.
