FAQ

Questions before you host it?

Does Langnerd host my language data?

No. The app is self-hosted. The licensing service only tracks account, subscription, and instance activation metadata.

Can I use it without paying?

Yes. The free tier requires no key. Paid licenses unlock Pro limits and subscription-backed activation.

What database should I use?

Use SQLite for a simple single-server setup. Use Postgres when you want a more production-oriented deployment.
