Imagine saying this about a native application like it's some special feature. Web 'apps' are terrible in so many ways.
Why would you think native applications do not track you? They do. And they have way more insight into your world then a web app.

#22This seems like a neat product, but it’s better for me as a user to pay some amount once than 4/month forever. I want to encourage you to keep building the software, but have to keep my list of monthlies really small.

What exactly is a native app going to 'track'? It has zero access to your browser.

There can be arguments made about if this is good/bad/neccessary/terrible/etc. but it's easily possible and done all the time.

#26This is neat. Can I pay a one time fee to run the service myself? Just a simple container or package of some sort. This seems like a neat product, but it’s better for me as a user to pay some amount once than 4/month forever.

We are thinking about offering a lifetime membership plan, but need to figure out the details first. How much would you be willing to pay for a lifetime licence?

Thank you very much. We are thinking about offering a lifetime membership plan, but need to figure out the details first. How much would you be willing to pay for a lifetime licence?
First year, it's $5/month. Second, it's $4. Third year, it's $3. And so on. Ideally it's free year 6 and from then on as long as you have an active account. But it could be $1/year.
I already have enough things I have to pay for every month for the rest of my life.
