lotti FAQ
- Is lotti 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 lotti?
- You install it like a normal desktop app. No command line involved.
- Does lotti work on a phone?
- No. It needs a computer.
- Can lotti 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 lotti commercially?
- The licence is GPL-3.0. Using it commercially is fine, but if you distribute something built on it you may be required to release that under the same licence. Keep it internal, or check before distributing.
