The CLI is free. Forever.

MIT licensed, no exceptions. A single minimal Go binary with no runtime dependencies. It runs anywhere bash and Docker run: a laptop, a $4 VPS, bare metal, or CI. Same commands for local, staging, and production. Paid bundles never gate the CLI, and security hardening ships free by default.

20 core commands run everything. Plugins extend the CLI with their own.

nself initnself buildnself startnself stopnself restartnself statusnself logsnself urlsnself doctornself dbnself envnself confignself secretsnself backupnself deploynself updatenself execnself cleannself resetnself version

93 commands total once plugin-added commands (ai, claw, gauth, sentry, waf, and more) are counted.

Don't want to manage a server at all? ɳCloud provisions and runs nSelf on your own cloud account (Hetzner, AWS, and more), billed at infra cost plus a management fee, and it includes ɳSelf+.
