Museum mode (if you cancel)
If I stop paying, do I lose what I wrote? No — you stay in museum mode: you read and export everything, but you can't create new content until you come back.
The problem
Subscribing to a service that's going to keep your stories for years is scary. What if in six months you can't pay? What if the app shuts down? Does your corpus get erased? Are you held hostage?
What Anecdotario does
When you cancel, you keep access until the end of the paid cycle. After that your account enters museum mode: you can keep reading, searching, and exporting everything you've already written, but you can't create new content until you resubscribe.
What you can still do
- View your anecdotes, books, podcasts, screenplays, novels, and generated biographies.
- Search and filter by chapter, person, year, theme.
- Export to Markdown, PDF, or EPUB as many times as you want.
- Receive notifications for comments and merges.
- Follow people and read their public content.
What you can't do
- Create new anecdotes.
- Upload audio or photos.
- Generate new compositions.
- Comment or like other people's content.
Why we built it this way
Your stories are yours. Erasing your corpus the day you cancel would be holding you hostage — we'd rather your decision to keep paying be based on whether the app keeps giving you value to create, not on fear of losing what you already have.
If you resubscribe, museum mode lifts immediately and you start writing where you left off.
