Question 1

What is Bridge?

Accepted Answer

Bridge is a mobile planning tool. You capture raw, scattered software ideas in the app; Bridge sorts them, links the related ones, and turns a cluster into implementation-ready specs an AI coding assistant can build from — the project shape, a data model, and a step-by-step task list.

Question 2

What's BYOAPI and why?

Accepted Answer

Every account gets 5 classify-and-expand runs a month on us — Bridge pays for those (they run on Google Vertex AI). Beyond that allowance, Bridge's AI runs on an API key you supply — Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google Gemini — and those AI costs are charged directly to your account by your provider. Bridge charges for the orchestration layer only. This keeps Bridge's pricing honest and predictable: you pay for what you use at provider cost, not a bundled markup, and you choose your own models and control your own data relationship with the AI provider. One caveat: a supplied key is honored on paid plans (Discover and above) — adding a key on the Free tier doesn't unlock unlimited AI.

Question 3

How much will I actually spend on AI costs?

Accepted Answer

Your first 5 AI runs each month are on us, so light usage can cost you nothing. Past that it depends on your usage and model choices, but for a moderate usage profile it typically runs roughly $3–$10/month in API costs, depending on the model tier you pick — a cheaper model at the low end, a top-tier model at the high end. You control this in Settings → Models, and Bridge shows a per-feature usage breakdown in Settings → Usage so you always know where costs come from.

Question 4

What does LTD actually mean?

Accepted Answer

"Lifetime" refers to the operational lifetime of Bridge, not the lifetime of the universe. Bridge commits to operating the service for a minimum of three (3) years from your LTD purchase date, providing 90 days written notice before any discontinuation, and making your data available for export during that notice period. LTD purchases are final sale. This language follows the SaaS industry standard for lifetime deals — the same framework used by AppSumo across hundreds of products.

Question 5

Will the prices change?

Accepted Answer

These prices are locked at launch. Bridge may raise prices for new signups around 6 months post-launch, but existing customers — including anyone who signs up during the founders window — are grandfathered at their original rate. The 20% founders discount on yearly plans is permanent: founders yearly subscribers stay at the founders rate for the life of the subscription, as long as it doesn't lapse.

Question 6

What about in-app purchases?

Accepted Answer

In-app purchases are not available. At launch (November 1, 2026), all payments, including the lifetime plan, go through Stripe on the web at bridgedev.io/pricing. Founding members come through email and are already on the web, so this is the natural path.

Question 7

When does the app launch?

Accepted Answer

Public launch is planned for November 1, 2026, on Android through Google Play. Founding members get access before public launch, and get first access to leave feedback.

Question 8

How will my data be handled?

Accepted Answer

Notes are stored on your device and on Bridge's infrastructure to enable the service. Bridge classifies each note when you save it: on a free run the text goes to Google Vertex AI under Bridge's account, and on your own key it goes to the provider you chose, per their API terms. On Discover and above, Bridge also computes each note's embedding on Vertex AI to form constellations. Bridge does not sell user data. Full details at /legal/privacy.

Question 9

What platforms will Bridge support?

Accepted Answer

At public launch, Bridge is an Android app on Google Play.
