Your subdomain, your logo. Customers log in from any browser to pay, sign, reorder and download.

Mac client app

Native Mac client for accounts that want a real desktop experience. Drag and drop POs and contracts in.

FAQ

Questions you'd ask a founder over coffee.

Is my data really on my Mac, or is this just marketing?
Really. The Solo tier writes an encrypted SQLite database into your application support directory and backs up to your iCloud Drive (your Apple ID, your bucket). You can copy it, you can delete it, you can read it. The Team tier adds a cloud sync layer that merges device copies in real time. We never become the only place your data lives.
How does multi user work if data is local first?
Each device keeps a real local copy. Edits are written to a CRDT log and pushed to our sync layer when online. Other devices pull and merge. You stay productive offline, and conflicts resolve deterministically without a "last write wins" disaster.
What does the client portal cost?
Free. The Solo tier includes a portal for up to 50 customer logins. The Team tier is unlimited. Customers don't pay PlanckCRM, you do.
Does it actually replace QuickBooks?
Not yet. PlanckCRM does e invoicing, payments, sales tax, AR/AP and inventory accounting, then syncs the journal entries back to QuickBooks Online. Most SMBs keep QuickBooks for the CPA and use PlanckCRM for the day to day.
Can I bring my own AI?
Yes. The agentic layer is MCP first. Point it at Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, your own self hosted model, or all of them. n8n nodes give you the rest of the integration surface.
When can I buy it?
Private beta now, public launch later this year. Drop your email above and we'll send you the build.
