Plume is an independent, local-first journaling app. No VC money, no growth team, no ad budget. Just me and the people who choose to talk about it. If you're one of them, I'd rather split the money with you than hand it to an ad network.
Fifty-fifty on the net revenue, meaning what actually lands in my account after Apple takes its cut and taxes are paid. No tiers to climb, no minimum audience size, no clawback games.
| What they buy | Sticker price | Your share |
|---|---|---|
| Plume Lifetime, one-time | $59.99 | ~$25 |
| Plume Yearly, first year | $19.99 | ~$8.50 |
| Plume Yearly, every renewal | $19.99 | ~$8.50 |
There's no dashboard to sign up for yet. It's deliberately manual, which also means it's deliberately flexible.
Email me with where you'd be talking about Plume: newsletter, YouTube, podcast, blog, TikTok, a Discord you run. Rough audience size helps, but I'm not screening on follower counts.
I set you up with your own tracked link and a promo code your audience can use. You also get Plume Lifetime on the house, because I'm not asking anyone to recommend an app they haven't lived with.
No approval process on your content, no script to read. Be honest, including about the parts you don't like. Journaling is a trust purchase; a scrubbed ad read won't sell it anyway.
I send you the numbers and your 50% once a month, by bank transfer, PayPal, or Wise, whichever suits. Apple pays out on a delay, so a given month's sales settle the month after.
Entries live in a SQLite file on the device. No account, no server, no sync you didn't ask for. The privacy claim holds up when your audience checks it.
$59.99 lifetime or $19.99 a year, after a 21-day free trial with no card and no account. Nobody feels tricked, which means nobody comes back annoyed at you.
Local models, or your own API key if you'd rather. Reflection prompts and pattern-spotting without shipping anyone's diary to a training set.
Small and engaged beats large and indifferent. A 400-person newsletter of people who actually journal is worth more to me than a million passive impressions.
Because the alternative is spending it on ads that convert worse. If you can put Plume in front of the right person, that's worth as much to me as it is to you.
A tracked link plus a promo code unique to you. The code catches the people who look Plume up later instead of tapping through, which is most of them.
Apple refunds come off the total before we split, same as they come off mine. It's rare, and I'll always show you the line item.
A short written agreement once we've agreed terms, so we both have the split and payment schedule in writing. Nothing exclusive, and you can walk away whenever.
Yes, please do. Follow whatever disclosure rules apply to you. An honest "I get a cut if you buy this" has never cost anyone a sale worth having.
Very likely. Bundles, a giveaway for your audience, a custom landing page, a flat fee alongside the split. Ask.
One email, straight to me. Tell me who your audience is and what you'd want to do. I answer everything, and I'll tell you honestly if I don't think it's a fit.
