FAQ

The Analysis pass: the workspace database, the SQL-queryable call graph, and native library analysis. Everything else — opening APK, DEX, JAR and IPA files, Java decompilation, ARM disassembly (A64, A32 and T32), hex and smali views, control-flow graphs and the phone mirror — runs without one.

When the licence server is reachable, yes: Thyme posts the licence to it and caches the answer locally. That is what lets a licence be revoked, and it is the only thing the app ever sends anywhere. The request contains the licence text and nothing else — no file names, no binary contents, no telemetry.

Yes. The licence is a plain text file, and the app holds the matching public key. With no network it verifies the signature locally and starts. ~/.garlic/license is the file, and it is the same file the garlic command-line tool reads, so one licence covers both.

No. Analysis runs entirely on your machine. The MCP server talks over a unix socket or a named pipe rather than a network port, and the only outbound request the app makes is the licence check above.

A one-time licence covers every 0.x release and the features listed above. If a future major version changes what the licence unlocks, existing licences keep working for the version they were bought on.
