Buzz FAQ
- Is Buzz free?
- Yes. It runs on your own machine, so there is no usage-based cost either.
- Do I need to install anything or write code to use Buzz?
- You install it like a normal desktop app. No command line involved.
- Does Buzz work on a phone?
- No. It needs a computer.
- Can Buzz run offline?
- Yes. Everything happens on your own machine, so your data is never sent to an outside server. That makes it usable for material you cannot share externally.
- Can I use Buzz commercially?
- The licence is MIT, which permits commercial use. Conditions such as keeping the copyright notice still apply, so read the licence text before shipping it inside something.
