$48 a year. Of course it is.

A dollar a page.

Free

The whole notebook, on one device, forever.

• The entire notebook — the page, the 48-page limit, all three verbs, the cabinet, and the shelf ceremony.
• Encrypted and stored on your device. Encryption isn't a paid feature here — it's how the thing works, on every tier.
• Export everything as plain markdown, any time.
• No trial, no countdown, no feature switched off until you pay.

48pages Plus $48 / year

For the notebook that follows you between devices.

• Encrypted sync across all your devices — web, Mac, iOS — the same page and cabinet everywhere, still sealed end-to-end.
• An unbounded cabinet and shelf — every scrap you file and every book you archive, kept without limit.
• The side door — a personal API token to capture into your page from anywhere you already work.
• Everything I ship next, included. One price, no à-la-carte.

Why $48

A dollar a page is a joke that happens to be the real reason. Tools that charge less than this are usually selling something else — your data, your attention, a lane into a team plan. 48pages sells none of those, so the price has to cover the actual cost of running encrypted sync for one person, plus enough to pay for the next month of building it.

Pricing it this way means 48pages only exists if enough people decide it's worth what it costs. That's an honest constraint — and it's what lets the product stay the product, instead of becoming something else the moment a growth chart needs a new direction.

No dark patterns

Stated here so you can hold me to it:

• No upsell nags inside the notebook. No countdowns. No "most popular" sticker.
• Cancel from settings in one step. Downgrading keeps everything you've written.
• Export is always available, on every tier, including free.
• No selling data, because there's no readable data to sell.
