Creator Kit

You don’t. However, Whiteboard is designed, developed, and supported by a single engineer - me, Jim 👋. Developing an app take a huge amount of time!

I will be as generous as possible with keeping the core features free, but to fund the app’s development I need to charge for some advanced features.

Simply put, sustainability. Once an app is released, it requires ongoing work to keep it functioning well on new devices and with new OS releases, not to mention the work that goes in to the development of new features.

A subcription is the best way to ensure that the app can be supported for as long as there are people who want to use it. However, there is also a lifetime unlock option available too.

Some Creator Kit options include a free trial. If you cancel before the end of the trial, you will not be charged. The trial can only be used once and once the trial is up, you will lose access to the Creator Kit features.

No, purchasing Creator Kit will unlock it on all devices on which you are signed in to your Apple account.

Yes, Creator Kit supports Family Sharing, allowing you to share one purchase with your family group. If there’s one thing I’ve learned over the last 10 years of Whiteboard, is how important and fun it is for families to draw together.

Generally, new features which are likely to be predominantly used by advanced or heavy users of the app, or features which require higher engineering and/or maintanence costs, but which are not essential for most users.

No. I never want to put your data at risk, Creator Kit or otherwise. Non-Creator Kit users still benefit from the iCloud Backup functionality, which can automatically back up your data every night (but does not upload changes in real-time, or synchronize data between different devices).
