The Cosmos

Cosmo Lite is free. Support helps the build.

Free means useful access. Support is optional and helps fund deeper rooms, build logs, experiments, and community paths once roles are live.

Clear rule: Lite is not a paywall preview. Free users can download after release unlock, join the public lounge, report bugs, vote on features, and learn without joining a support path.

Earlier access to new branches when the release process can support it, plus credits/backers list.

Orbit staged

Build-alongs, streams, and weighted feature votes that add signal without silencing free members.

Constellation staged

Inner Orbit feature threads, earliest looks, and advisory input on community-branched projects.

Nebula staged

Early looks and stronger advisory access once those rooms are real.

What support does not buy

No checkout-to-use claim

Never suggest checkout unlocks the core Lite app, user data, AI access, or basic support.

No live entitlement until roles exist

Role sync and private rooms remain manually approved until the operator applies them.

No governance sale

Members add signal. The operator still makes final product and release calls.

Nothing on this page authorizes live Discord changes, sign-in setup, provider spend, public release, or AI checkout.
