A clear set of promises, and I plan to keep them.
Pay once, keep it.
No subscriptions. Every app you buy stays licensed to you.
Refund within 14 days.
If the app does not fit, request a refund from your dashboard in two clicks. Same-day*, no questions, available for the first 14 days.
Every licence in one account.
Buy what you need and manage every licence from one CoreTools account.
No telemetry.
Your data is yours. Apps run locally and store locally. Nothing is collected, sold, or analysed. The only outbound calls are an occasional licence and update check.
One person, one shop.
CoreTools is maintained by one developer. Every app is built because I wanted it. If I would not use it, I would not ship it.
