Common Questions

Do I need an account?

No. Free works the moment you install. Premium is a license key emailed at checkout, with no sign-up. If you lose it, recover it at plainmarkdown.com/my-key.

How many devices can I use a license on?

Up to 5. Getting a fresh key at plainmarkdown.com/my-key resets your devices.

Which browsers does Plain Markdown support?

Chrome, Brave, and other Chromium-based browsers.

What's the difference between Free and Premium?

Free is the core product: convert any page to clean Markdown and send it to your notes. Premium is a lifetime license that unlocks AI actions on your own OpenRouter or OpenAI key.

How does the free trial work?

Start it from the extension's settings with your email. You get 14 days of the full Premium AI surface, running through your own OpenRouter or OpenAI key that you paste into the extension. Your page content goes straight to your provider and never reaches our server, with no monthly cap. No card needed, but you do need an API key.

Is Premium a subscription?

No. You pay $24.99 once and keep it. AI usage is billed by your AI provider under your own account, not by us.

Which AI model does Plain Markdown use?

With Premium, in the trial and after you buy, you bring your own key and pick any model per action. An OpenRouter key covers 200+ models from the major providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, and more); an OpenAI key uses OpenAI's models directly.

Does Plain Markdown send my data to a server?

Page conversion runs entirely in your browser. AI actions go straight from your browser to your AI provider using your own key, so your page content never reaches our server.

Where is my API key stored?

On your device, encrypted, in the extension's local storage. It never syncs across your browsers and never reaches our servers.
