Common questions.

Anything else? hi@jsonbolt.com

What's "personal use"?

Reading JSON files on a laptop you own, for your own projects, side-projects, school, OSS, or hobby work. The moment you're getting paid to wrangle that JSON — even tangentially — switch to Pro. We trust you to know which is which.

Why is there a 50 MB limit on free?

Because at >50 MB, jsonbolt is doing real work no other free tool can do, and that's where we earn our keep. Below that, it's free forever.

Do I need to be online to use it?

No. The engine runs entirely on-device. License checks happen once at activation and once a month after.

When are macOS and Linux out of beta?

Coming soon. Email us for early access.

Can I use my Pro license on multiple machines?

Yes — up to 2 devices per license, signed in to the same account. The CLI honors the same license.

Do you have a student discount?

Pro is free for students with an active .edu email. Email us a transcript or enrollment letter from your school address and we'll flip your account.

Refund policy?

Within 14 days of purchase, no questions. Email us.
