Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about HearthBoss tiers and the Founder Pass.
Why did you switch to clean, all-inclusive tiers?
We believe in honest, predictable software. Instead of nickel-and-diming you with separate checkboxes for vehicle limits or checklists, HearthBoss Pro unlocks every single tool with zero confusing math.
What happens when the 100 Founder Passes sell out?
The Founder Lifetime Pass is strictly capped to the first 100 members. Once those 100 passes are claimed, the lifetime option is permanently retired, and HearthBoss will only be available via annual or monthly subscription.
How does client-side zero-knowledge encryption protect me?
Before your records leave your device, they are encrypted with military-grade AES-256 using your private vault passphrase. Even if someone gained unauthorized access to the database server, they would see only scrambled, undecipherable ciphertext.
Can I switch between Pro and Estate later?
Yes, absolutely. You can upgrade from Pro to Household & Estate at any time to add multi-user sharing and role delegation for your family.
