It does not host apps, provide a PaaS, modify app code, or require opening inbound ports. It acts as a control plane over Cloudflare (tunnels + DNS + SSL) and your local runtime.
Core workflows are fully open source (MIT). There is an optional Early Access offering for prebuilt binaries, a one-line installer, and early access to advanced plugin workflows.
Feedback welcome.
The core CLI is fully open source (MIT) and usable without paying anything — the $199 Early Access is optional and only for convenience (prebuilt binaries, installer, updates, early plugins).
There’s no lock-in or dependency on a hosted service; if the project disappeared tomorrow, the OSS core would still work as long as Cloudflare does.
I’m intentionally keeping EA small and low-pressure rather than positioning it as a subscription or promise of longevity.
Windows support isn’t there yet, but the core is intentionally cross-platform and it’s something I’d like to add once the foundations are solid.
Appreciate the thoughtful feedback.

FounderBooster is an OSS CLI that exposes a locally running app to a real domain using Cloudflare Tunnel. It doesn’t host apps, provide a PaaS, or require opening inbound ports.
Happy to answer questions or clarify design tradeoffs.
