- Households running Linux servers or NAS devices
- Worth noticing
- The page says it has no end-to-end encryption because the server generates thumbnails, extracts text, and analyzes files.
Field notes
The installation instructions describe a program plus a lib/ directory, with no separate database, web server, or runtime to install. The free edition is described as having no file or folder-count limit, while household membership is capped at two people; Professional removes that cap. The page lists a one-time Professional price and a lower annual renewal for updates, but says sales start at version 1.0.0 and that the purchase-page price may differ.
