Questions about Madosuite
Is Madosuite free?
Yes. The apps run on your own device, in the browser tab, so there is no server time to pay for. There is no trial period.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Open Madosuite in your browser on a computer and the apps are there. Nothing is installed on the computer itself.
Do I need an account?
No. Sign in with a 0cloud account only if you want one; without it, your work stays in this browser on this device.
Where are my files kept?
In the browser on your device, inside Madosuite’s own Linux machine, in its home folder. Your files are not uploaded to us. Clearing the site’s data in your browser deletes them, so download what you want to keep.
Are the apps finished?
No, and we say so on every app’s page. They are young open-source apps, alpha or earlier, and their makers publish how far along each one is. Many everyday jobs work today; check the list of what is missing before you depend on one.
Who makes the apps?
The suite apps are the ArtCraft team’s open-source Crafting Apps, under the MIT or Apache-2.0 licence. Madosuite puts them on one desktop in your browser, with Files, a Terminal and Edix, the code editor. See credits.
What is the Linux machine for?
Madosuite runs a real Linux computer in the tab. It keeps your files in one place for every app, and it gives you a Terminal and Edix, a code editor, if you want them.
Does it work on a phone?
Madosuite is made for a computer with a keyboard and mouse. The apps are full desktop apps, so a phone screen is too small for most of them.
How big a file can I open?
It depends on your computer’s memory, because everything runs on it. Everyday documents, slides and photos are fine; very large videos and workbooks need a strong computer.
Can I use it for work?
Yes, and it is free for that too. Check the app’s page for what it cannot do yet, and look over a file before you send it to someone using the paid app.
Is it really open source?
The suite apps are, under the MIT or Apache-2.0 licence, by the ArtCraft team. See credits.
