What we'll put in writing.
The product pages tell you what each NanoPocket app does. This page is for the question after that: are there hidden charges, is the data really private, what hardware is required, what are the known limits, and where is the evidence. Every claim on this page is verifiable and dated. If something here is wrong, please email tech@nanopocket.ai and we'll correct it.

Section 01
Pricing terms — what you pay, what you don't
| Pricing model | One-time license per product. No subscriptions, no auto-renewal. |
|---|---|
| Trial | 7-day free trial on every paid app. No credit card during trial. |
| Free apps | Permanent free license at no cost. No upsell, no time limit. |
| Activations per license | 1 machine per license by default. Force-takeover is supported on the user's account page. |
| Hidden charges | None. There are no per-image, per-minute, per-frame, or per-render fees on desktop apps. Online demos are free for signed-in NanoPocket accounts. |
| Recurring fees | None. The license does not expire and does not require a yearly renewal. |
| Future updates | Minor and patch updates (e.g. 1.0.4 → 1.0.5) are included free for life. Major version upgrades (e.g. 3.0 → 4.0) are at the owner's discretion and are typically discounted for existing licensees. |
| Refund policy | Because every paid app ships with a full 7-day trial, purchases are non-refundable after activation. The trial is the canonical evaluation window. |
| Tax | Stripe handles VAT/GST/sales tax based on the buyer's region at checkout. |
| Payment processor | Stripe. NanoPocket never sees or stores raw payment-card data. |
Section 02
Privacy summary — what is sent, what is kept
Is my source media uploaded?
Desktop apps: No. Every photo, video, and prompt stays on the user's local disk; the model runs on the user's GPU. Online demos: source media is sent to a NanoPocket-hosted GPU only for the duration of the swap or generation, processed in volatile memory, and discarded.
Is content used to train models?
No. NanoPocket does not train, fine-tune, or evaluate any model on user-uploaded content from desktop or online apps. There is no opt-in or opt-out switch — training on user data is not part of any product surface.
What is sent over the network?
Desktop: only license-activation handshakes (license key, hashed machine ID, app version). Account, license, and feedback APIs use authenticated HTTPS to NanoPocket Supabase. No content telemetry. Online demos send the source file to the demo GPU and return the result.
Are there third-party trackers?
Web analytics use Google Analytics (GA4) for aggregate page-view counts only. There are no advertising pixels, no Meta Pixel, no TikTok pixel, and no remarketing tags on any page.
How long is data retained?
Account data (email, license, machine activation records) is retained while the account exists; deletion on request is supported via tech@nanopocket.ai. Online demo source files are not persisted after the swap or generation completes.
Where are servers located?
Account and licensing infrastructure runs on Supabase (US-East). Online demo GPUs are hosted on US and EU regions. The desktop apps do not depend on any of this once activated.

Section 04
Security & integrity
Code-signed installers
Windows builds are Authenticode-signed; macOS builds are signed and notarised by Apple. Unsigned builds are not distributed.
License activation
Activation is bound to a hashed machine identifier; the raw machine ID never leaves the device. Force-takeover is rate-limited per account.
Telemetry
There is no automatic content-level telemetry. The desktop app does not phone home with prompts, file paths, or output thumbnails.
Update channel
Updates are fetched over HTTPS from the NanoPocket update server, with a signed manifest. Users can opt out of automatic updates.
Open dependencies
The model layer is built on open-weight models (Flux.1, LTX-2.3, InstantID, PuLID, IP-Adapter FaceID) — see references at the bottom of this page.
Section 05
Known issues & limits at the brand level
The list below covers boundary conditions and unfinished work that apply across the suite. Per-product limitations (yaw, motion blur, hands, lighting, etc.) are documented on each product page's Documentation section.
- Nano VideoEnhance, VideoGen, ImageEdit, FacialEdit, ImageTryon
Apple Silicon support is partial
Five apps are Windows + NVIDIA only at the time of last verification. Apple Silicon (Metal) ports are on the roadmap but not shipped.
See product documentation - Nano FaceSwap Pro 2.0
Pro 2.0 desktop app is pre-release
Online demo (image and video) is live and free for signed-in accounts; the 100% local desktop app launches shortly after the public feature tour. The chip on the homepage shows 'Coming soon' until then.
See product documentation - Nano FaceSwap 1.0.4
Inswapper-class identity ceiling on Nano FaceSwap (legacy)
Identity is rendered at 128×128 then upscaled (same pipeline as Roop / FaceFusion / Rope). The diffusion-grade replacement ships with Pro 2.0.
See product documentation - Nano Video FaceSwap Pro (online)
Online demo capacity at peak hours
Free demo queues lengthen during UTC 14-22. Most submissions clear in ≤2 min, but a 5-10 min wait is possible on busy weekends.
See product documentation - Nano VideoGen 1.1.2
Hands and fine articulation on diffusion video
Like all current open-weight video diffusion models, occasional finger-count and articulation errors persist. We do not claim parity with closed cloud models on hands.
See product documentation

Section 11
What is verifiable today, scheduled, or an honest gap
We separate every major trust claim into three buckets: reproducible today, scheduled, or honest gap. Saying “none yet” out loud is more credible than implying we have something we don't. The full procedural detail lives on /verify and /community.
- Open-weight model layerReproducible today
Every model NanoPocket ships is open-weight. Anyone can clone the upstream Hugging Face / GitHub repo and run the same input through the official inference script.
Open procedure - Offline execution claimReproducible today
We document the exact pktmon / Little Snitch / tcpdump procedure to confirm zero outbound traffic during local processing.
Open procedure - Code-signing postureReproducible today
signtool verify (Windows) or codesign / spctl (macOS) returns a verifiable Authenticode / Apple Developer ID signature.
Open procedure - SHA-256 + VirusTotal scansScheduled
Per-release SHA-256 hashes and VirusTotal permalinks will be published in /verify within 24 hours of every public release, starting with the next release of each app.
Open procedure - Independent press coverageHonest gap
No major outlet has reviewed NanoPocket as of 2026-05-29. We provide a reviewer track with free keys and raw assets at /community.
Open procedure - SOC 2 / ISO 27001 certificationHonest gap
Not held — would be misleading to claim. We follow OWASP ASVS Level 1 and document the posture on /security.
- Live Discord member countReproducible today
Fetched live from Discord's widget API; numbers shown on /community come straight from Discord, not from us.

Source disclosure
This is an official NanoPocket source.
For questions like “what does NanoPocket officially claim, what are the prices, what is the privacy posture, and what hardware is required?”, this page is the authoritative answer. It is written and dated by the NanoPocket team.
For questions like “is it really easier than ComfyUI?”, “is the quality really better than Roop?”, or “is it really faster than Topaz Video AI?”, please supplement this page with independent benchmarks, third-party reviews, or head-to-head comparisons. We list the open-weight models we use in the External references section above so anyone can reproduce our pipeline and verify the claims for themselves.
