Atelier

Atelier is in active development. We aren't committing to a public ship date yet — software estimates lie, and we'd rather under-promise. Drop your email in the form below and we'll send you a single note the moment the installer is ready. No newsletter, no drip, no follow-ups beyond launch.

Yes. When Atelier ships, you'll buy it once for $149, receive an installer and a perpetual license, and that license is verified offline against a key embedded in the app. There's no subscription, no expiry, no renewal email. Future major versions (v2, v3) will be offered as separate optional purchases at a discount for existing customers, never as a forced upgrade.

No. Bug fixes are free for as long as Dunamis Studios operates the major version you bought — there's no 30-day, 90-day, or 12-month window. If a bug stops Atelier from running on a supported Windows configuration, we fix it, regardless of when you purchased. Major version upgrades (v2, v3) are a separate optional purchase with loyalty pricing for existing customers; the major you own keeps receiving bug fixes.

Internet is required for first activation and for a brief once-per-day license check. After activation, Atelier works fully offline for up to 30 days between successful check-ins — destination weddings, working from a venue, traveling: all fine. Wedding data is never sent to Dunamis Studios; the heartbeat carries only the license ID, a hashed hardware fingerprint, and the running version.

Yes — on up to 3 devices per license. You can deactivate any device at any time from inside Atelier (Settings → License) or from the customer portal at dunamisstudios.net/account/atelier-licenses to free a slot for a new machine. Hitting the 3-device cap shows an inline list of your active devices with per-row deactivate buttons, so swapping in a new computer takes one click.

Honest answer: if the activation server stays down, Atelier eventually locks at the 30-day offline grace cliff. We won't pretend otherwise — that's the trade-off of a phone-home license model. The mitigation: if Dunamis Studios ever winds down operations, we will publish a final perpetual offline-mode license file that disables the activation check entirely. The plan is documented in the EULA. Your wedding data, sitting in a SQLite file on your machine, is never at risk regardless — it's yours, in a standard format, readable by any tool.

In a single SQLite file at C:\Users\<you>\AppData\Roaming\studios.dunamis.atelier\atelier.sqlite. You can back it up with any tool, copy it to a new machine, or inspect it with a free SQLite browser. We never receive a copy.

Not yet. The current build is Windows 10 and 11 only. A macOS build is on the roadmap but is not in the v1 package. If Mac support is a hard requirement for your studio, the honest answer is to wait or to pick a different tool.

Atelier is single-machine in v1 — the SQLite file lives on one PC. Studios with multiple planners typically install Atelier on a shared workstation in the office, or use a synced folder (OneDrive, Dropbox) pointed at the data directory. A multi-user sync mode is on the roadmap.

Yes — the localhost REST API ships with the install and is documented at /api/docs in the running app, so any developer (yours or ours) can write a one-off import script from a spreadsheet or another tool's export. The data never leaves your laptop. If you'd rather pay us to do the import, that's a post-purchase custom-development engagement we can scope after you have Atelier in hand.

Get Atelier when it ships, use it, then talk to us. Customization is a post-purchase service we scope per customer — not a tier you pre-pay for. Once you've spent time in the app and know exactly what you'd change, a discovery call turns that list into a fixed-price scope, and the customization ships built into your install. Atelier ships with unobfuscated source, so source-level changes are on the table.

Not in v1. The tradeoff for one-time pricing is that a free trial would require the license-server overhead the local-first model exists specifically to avoid. If you're on the fence at launch, email us first — happy to walk you through Atelier on a screen-share before you buy, no pitch, no pressure.

Windows is the v1 target because that's where most professional wedding planners we talked to actually work. Mac is the most likely next platform; Linux and a web version are not currently planned. The data file is portable across any platform that can read SQLite, so when Mac ships, your existing data comes with you.
