Ownership, in practice
Your business.
Your copy.
Choose where Pepper runs. Keep your database and the full source under a commercial license. Your installed copy keeps working when update access ends.
What ownership involves- The full source
- Read, change and maintain the code for your business.
- Your installation
- One business, on hosting you choose, in the region you choose. You decide who has access.
- Your exit
- Export every record, setting and file from the browser and import them into a fresh installation on SQLite, MySQL or MariaDB. A Laravel developer can take over with the source and the manual.
- Your assistant
- Connect an MCP client to read permitted records and prepare invoice drafts. A person approves each invoice before it’s issued. Pepper needs no AI account of its own.
- The upkeep
- You or your technical partner look after hosting, email, updates and backups. We’re exploring managed hosting for businesses that want us to do it.
