Is Amore free?
Amore will always be free for FOSS projects without limitations. If you are working on one and are interested to use Amore for free please reach out to me.
For everyone else, there will be a free tier which limits some of Amore's functionality:
- DMGs will contain a 'Built with Amore' watermark.
- Limits developers to update their apps once a month.
- Only the latest release available for download.
- Developers won't be able to use Amore with a custom domain.
For all features and unlimited apps I currently plan an annual 99$ subscription.
Can I use my own S3 bucket?
Amore is primarily designed around DX and convenience, which is why the initial version used Amore's server to host Sparkle's appcast.xml and releases. This gives us more freedom to experiment with advanced Sparkle features like download analytics and anonymous system profiling and more.
Amore's intent is not to lock you in. It currently provides the option to use a custom domain to serve the appcast.xml so you stay in full control.
If you want even more control, or need to use an existing S3 bucket you can do that too.
