No, you don’t need to purchase the non-Patreon release. We don’t openly advertise or publish this information so that we can avoid drawing unnecessary attention. Buying the app is simply the easiest, lowest-effort option for those who don’t want to do a bit of legwork. If you’re willing to reach out on Discord, connect with an existing member, or get a referral, you can obtain the same details without spending anything. We apologize for not being more direct, but this approach helps protect our community.
