Download · macOS

Three days free. Then $9.99 once.

Meridian is a direct download, signed and notarized. The trial is the whole app, not a demo of it. When the three days are up you buy once and keep it, and every future version arrives through the app's own updater.

And the iPhone

Quasar for iPhone is a free TestFlight companion for paid purchases of Meridian. After you buy, your invitation arrives by email; accept it in TestFlight and pair the phone with your Mac. There is no public beta link, and the three-day trial does not qualify, because the companion belongs to the purchase.

The small print, in normal words

  • Updates are free and automatic. The app checks the release feed and offers new versions; you are never asked to pay again.
  • Your licence is not an account. It is checked locally. There is nothing to sign into, and nothing to lose access to if we disappear.
  • If Meridian stops being made, your vault stays readable, because the app is the only thing that opens it and it lives on your disk.
  • Not on the Mac App Store. We ship direct so the app can write to the sync folder you choose instead of a container only the App Store build can reach.
