WHY IT IS NECESSARY
The modern creative stack is capable.
Its contract is the problem.
A designer can make a poster in one service, edit a clip in another, write the launch copy somewhere else, calculate a budget in a fourth app, and store the source photographs in a fifth. Each service can be useful. Together they create account sprawl, subscription stacking, unclear data boundaries, and a growing number of places a creator must trust.
Studio Seven exists because professional range and personal sovereignty should not be opposites. The local edition puts the authoritative files, the editing tools, and the export decision on the computer in front of you. Ordinary creative work does not require an account, an upload, or a permanent connection.

WHAT YOU CAN MAKE
One purchase.
A surprising amount of studio.
Studio Seven is not a bundle of landing-page promises. It is a broad local creative core organized around the jobs independent creators actually move between.
Design without a browser tab
Build graphics, posters, covers, presentations, and web compositions with layers, drawing tools, shaped type, smart alignment guides, reusable templates, and transparent export.
Cut motion where the files live
Arrange video, time titles, add transitions and filters, work with independent audio, and export through the media capabilities already available on your computer.
Publish books you can actually inspect
Paste a manuscript or import text and watch it flow into facing pages. Turn pages, place images, control typography, and export the result instead of surrendering it to a publishing silo.
Write and calculate in the same studio
Create portable documents and working spreadsheets with real DOCX, RTF, HTML, Markdown, TXT, XLSX, CSV, and TSV interchange.
Keep a private visual memory
Organize managed photo originals by date and metadata, build albums, and use optional local pet and scene labeling. Studio Seven does not pretend it can identify individual people when that model is not installed.
Leave whenever you choose
Export PNG, transparent PNG, JPEG, WebP, SVG, PDF, supported video formats, documents, spreadsheets, or editable Studio Seven projects. Your work is not leverage against you.
Precision without surveillance. Large tools, visible alignment, editable objects, and an artboard that does not need to report what you are making.
OUR PRIVACY PLEDGE
We do not need your creative history
to sell you a creative tool.
Studio Seven does not require behavioral telemetry, advertising identifiers, a cloud media library, or an account just to open the editor. The native app starts from a default-deny network boundary. If you deliberately connect a future external service, that connection must be visible, scoped, and reversible.
PAYMENT IS PART OF THE CONTRACT
Card for convenience.
Bitcoin and Monero for choice.
Most people will prefer a familiar hosted card checkout. Others would rather pay directly with Bitcoin or Monero. We think privacy-respecting software should make room for both without forcing any method on everyone.
The product website never needs to store card data, private keys, or a reusable primary wallet address. Live merchant links are connected only after the checkout accounts are ready.
ONE CLEAR PRICE
The complete local studio.
US$97 flat.
Studio Seven costs US$97 once. That includes the complete local creative core, portable exports, and free core updates. The price for new purchases may rise as the product improves. Existing customers keep their purchased core entitlement and included core updates.
Design, video, books, documents, spreadsheets, and photo organization belong in the same purchase. Your license does not expire and the local tools do not require a recurring subscription.
Windows, macOS, and Linux are part of the desktop release plan. Each installer includes the matching local engine and is released after verification on its operating system.
LOCAL BY DEFAULT · CONNECTED BY CHOICE
The online edition should be explicit
about the trade.
A connected team service cannot truthfully make the same “nothing leaves this computer” promise as the local edition. It can still minimize what it receives: encrypt message content and shared attachments end to end, keep local projects authoritative, upload only selected material, publish retention controls, allow complete export and deletion, and avoid advertising or training on customer work.
For messaging, Studio Seven should build on an established open protocol such as Matrix instead of inventing cryptography. Matrix documents end-to-end encryption using Olm and Megolm and supports decentralized, self-hosted communication. Any future connected service should also provide a self-host path for teams that want maximum control.

Ownership is not an excuse
to stand still.
Our pledge is to keep improving the local core: better editing depth, stronger interchange, faster media handling, clearer accessibility, broader templates, safer recovery, and published security fixes. Free core updates belong to the people who purchased the software.
Optional services can fund collaboration and AI, but they will not become a trap door under the product. We will explain what connects, what it costs, what it stores, how to leave, and what keeps working after cancellation.
Own the complete studio for US$97.
One flat price includes the complete local core and free core updates, without a required subscription.
