It's hard to expand on the gut feeling. I wanted to have the app myself. Adding licensing to the code, limiting functionality for a demo mode, and then wait whether Linux users would pay for it just did not feel right.

Regarding daemon open source: The future is hard to predict, even more with AI being just invented. I would love to make it open source, but if you can feed it into Claude and tell it to convert it to a Mac version, we could lose our income.

For the moment, we prefer to keep it closed because we cannot estimate the consequences of making it open source.
