Questions, terse answers.

01 Why GPUI and not Electron / Tauri?
Electron ships a 200 MB browser engine and asks the GC to keep up with a million-row scroll. It can't. Tauri trades memory for a system WebView — same DOM bottleneck. GPUI renders directly to Metal, DirectX 12, or Vulkan; the result grid is a GPU surface, not a DOM table. That's where the sub-500 ms cold start and 60 fps on 1M rows come from.
02 Does Zolt see my queries or schemas?
No. Queries run from your machine to your DB, period. Zero telemetry, no analytics endpoint, no crash reporter that ships query text. License validation phones home only to confirm your key is alive — it carries no query, schema, or connection data.
03 Does Pro include AI tokens or AI credits?
No. Even Pro is BYOK — Zolt never charges for AI and never proxies AI calls. You bring an API key (Anthropic, OpenAI), an Ollama instance, the claude CLI, or any MCP server. Your provider bills you directly. We never see prompts, responses, or your keys.
04 How does Pro billing work?
Annual subscription via Lemon Squeezy. License key arrives by email. Paste it once into Settings → License. Auto-renews yearly until you cancel; cancellation lets you keep Pro until the end of the billing period, then falls back to Community without losing data.
05 What happens to my data if my license expires?
Saved queries, history, and connections stay on disk. Pro-only features lock; nothing is deleted. Renew or downgrade — the data sits in place either way.
06 Can I move my license to a new laptop?
Yes — deactivate from the old device under Settings → License, or via the Lemon Squeezy customer portal. Pro covers 2 devices, Team covers 1 device per seat.
07 Can I use Zolt on a plane or behind a strict VPN?
Yes — 30-day offline grace after the last successful revalidate. Revalidation is a single signed-token check, not a full handshake; it survives hostile DPI and runs once a week.
