Pro tier

eidetic-daemon is free and open-source. You don't need to pay for the daemon. Pro is for people who want their engrams to follow them.

→ Get Pro on Gumroad ($29/mo)

What Pro includes

Managed cloud backup

Your engrams.db syncs to Eidetic Works' Cloudflare R2 bucket automatically — every hour while the daemon runs. Restore to any machine in 60 seconds.

eideticd --restore
# ✓ Downloaded 3.3 GB engrams.db from cloud backup
#   key: engrams/macbook-m2/engrams-1748300000000.db
#   previous db saved to ~/.eidetic/engrams.db.bak
#   restart eideticd to use the restored database

We manage the infrastructure. You get a personal API key by email within 24 hours of payment.

Retention policy setup

We'll configure retention-policy.json for your setup — how long to keep Claude Code sessions, Cursor history, Cowork logs. One email, we handle it.

Email support

hi@eidetic.works. Response within 24 hours on weekdays.

Early-access features

Pro subscribers get new features before free users. Already-shipped Pro-first features include AI-powered natural-language recall (nucleus_ask) and the web dashboard.

What Pro does NOT include

• Any data leaving your machine without your sync.json configured — the daemon is still local-first.
• Hosted cloud AI — we don't process your engrams on our servers.
• Anything we'd need to see your data for — the sync is encrypted in transit, encrypted at rest by Cloudflare default.

Setup after payment

1. Pay via Gumroad → you get a confirmation email within minutes.
2. Reply with your machine's device_id (pick any short identifier: macbook-m2, work-laptop, etc.).
3. We reply with your sync.json within 24 hours.
4. Drop it at ~/.eidetic/sync.json, restart daemon — sync starts immediately (v0.0.35+ hot-reload picks it up within ~1s without manual restart).

Pricing

$29/month — early-bird rate for the first 50 Pro subscribers. Price may increase after 50.

No annual discount yet. Month-to-month, cancel anytime via Gumroad. 7 days no-questions-asked refund.

Bring your own R2 (free)

If you'd rather host the bucket yourself, the same daemon works against your own R2: create an R2 bucket, deploy the sync Worker from bridge/cloudflare/, set EIDETIC_API_KEY, drop your own sync.json. No ongoing cost for personal-scale data (R2 stays in the free tier at typical dataset sizes; see ADR-019 in the source repo for the cost table).

What you can do with Pro on day 2

1. Confirm sync is firing

eideticd --check
# Expect: "worker: ✓ reachable (200 OK)" + a "last sync" timestamp
# within the last hour

2. AI-powered recall (nucleus_ask)

In any Claude Code session: "What was that Postgres tuning trick I worked on last week?" — Claude calls nucleus_ask, retrieves the matching engrams from your local store, and synthesizes the answer. Your engrams never leave your machine; the AI is the Claude session you already pay for.

Full recipe: nucleus_ask recipes.

3. Web dashboard

eideticd -bridge :8421
open https://eidetic.works/dashboard
# Paste http://127.0.0.1:8421 + the token from ~/.eidetic/bridge-token

4. Restore-ready

New laptop? eideticd --restore and you're back in 60 seconds.

Three habits that compound

After a week with Pro, three habits turn the daemon into a real cognitive multiplier:

1. Ask before you grep. Stop opening Spotlight / VS Code search / browser history when you remember "I worked on that thing." Open Claude Code and ask. If it's in your engrams, Claude finds it in <1 sec via nucleus_ask.
2. Check your backup history once a month. eideticd --backups shows your last 10 cloud uploads — catch timing or size oddities before the day you actually need a restore.
3. Export before experimenting. eideticd --export > engrams-$(date +%F).ndjson — your right to leave, proof that you own the data.
