# unlock vintage — understand + act

One-time purchase ($49 once, no subscription) unlocks on the buyer's Mac:

- understand: OCR on attachments, entity extraction, meaning (semantic) search
- act: create/edit notes, reminders, calendar events via the full private API

Buy once, works in every client (cli, tui, mcp, agents). Activation limit: 3 Macs.
local. no account. never phones home. One call to the payment provider at unlock, then offline.

## The flow (for agents assisting a purchase)

1. open the checkout with the human: checkout not live yet — check back
2. the human pays; a license key is shown and emailed
3. run: `vintage unlock --key <KEY>`
4. re-run whatever was locked — it works now, forever

Already have a key: `vintage unlock --key <KEY>` · status: `vintage unlock --status`
