What you give up either way
- Encrypted iCloud-backed sync across Apple devices (the site: "encrypted and synced securely across all your Apple devices via iCloud")
- App Store distribution, ratings, and commercial polish (packaging, notarization, marketing)
- Existing license handling / one-time $5 lifetime license workflow
An open-source project doing the core job proves a replacement is possible. It does not prove it matches Sandimax, and it does not prove anyone has run it for a month. How we decide.
