What it takes to run your own fleet

The software is the easy part. Here's the honest hardware picture — so you go in eyes-open.

Per ~4 lines you'll want 1 Mac mini (M1 or better) and 1 iPhone per line, each iPhone on a cheap SIM plan. A single Mac mini comfortably runs about 4 lines.

Self-hosted FAQ

Do you ever see my messages or contacts?

No. Self-hosted runs entirely on your Macs — sending, receiving, lookups, everything. Your contacts and message content never pass through our servers. Our software only checks your license. That's the whole point.

How hard is the setup, really?

The app is plug-and-play, and a guided wizard walks you through it with screenshots. There's one one-time macOS security setting to change per Mac (a few minutes). After that, pair your iPhone and you're sending.

What hardware do I need?

A Mac mini (M1 or newer) for roughly every 4 lines, one iPhone per line, and a cheap SIM plan per iPhone. Use the calculator above for an exact shopping list and cost.

How many lines can one Mac run?

About 4 lines per Mac mini M1 (8GB). Need more lines? Add more Macs — your plan's line count is what matters, and you can spread it across as many Macs as you like.

Can I resell the software?

No. Each plan is licensed to your account for its line count and can't be resold or shared. Higher tiers simply unlock more lines.

Is there a free trial?

Yes — download it, set up one line, and get 50 free lookups + 10 free sends to prove it works before you pay.

What about WhatsApp and Twilio?

Add your own Twilio account for high-volume A2P SMS, or link your own WhatsApp number. You bring the accounts; the software routes through them.

Your fleet. Your data. Your rules.
