Questions, answered

Is Molio free to use?

The repo declares no license, so check with the maintainers before using it in anything commercial.

Do I need an account to use Molio?

No. It is a self-run project โ€” clone it and run it on your own machine. Some features may optionally call external APIs; check the README.

Can I run Molio on my own hardware?

Yes, that is the point. The code is public, so you can run, modify, and host it yourself.

How is Molio licensed?

It is released under NOASSERTION. Read the LICENSE file in the repo for the exact terms.

Does it work without the internet?

That depends on the feature. Local-capable parts run offline; anything calling a cloud API needs a connection. Check the docs.
