Frequently Asked Questions

Who’s behind this?

SilverBullet+ is built by Zef Hemel, the guy behind of the original SilverBullet open source project. This is a natural extension of that project — bringing the same note-taking experience to a native desktop app.

What about a mobile app?

This will likely come. Stay tuned.

What about Linux and Windows support?

This will come later, we’re first trying to nail the macOS experience.

Is SilverBullet+ open source?

The desktop app itself is not open source, but it's built on top of SilverBullet “Core”, which is fully open source. The core editing experience, plugins, and Lua scripting are all part of the open-source project.

The reason for this approach is sustainability. Building, supporting and maintaining SilverBullet takes significant time, which has purely volunatary effort. However, as the userbase and feature set has grown significantly over the years, more attention is required. To ensure sustained development, this hybrid solution was invented.

Is SilverBullet+ free?

For personal use, yes. For work use, a paid license will be required. Pricing details later.
