Frequently Asked Questions

thune.dev is an integrated developer platform that connects all your development tools in one ecosystem. It includes web-based services (portal, secret storage, server monitoring, knowledge base, release management) and native desktop apps (Git client, SQL client, REST client, time tracking, remote access and more). The key differentiator: all apps share your credentials, users, and context automatically through the platform.

thune.dev is built for software development teams, IT departments, DevOps engineers, and individual developers who want to streamline their tooling. If you're tired of managing credentials in multiple places, sending database passwords over chat, or onboarding new team members by distributing dozens of access credentials — thune.dev solves that.

The key differentiator is platform sync: credentials stored in thune secret storage are automatically available in thune connect, thune sql, thune git, thune rest, and all other apps — without manual copy-pasting. Combined with centralized user management, you assign access once and every connected app respects it. This eliminates credential distribution and ensures access control is consistent across all your tools.

The Free plan gives you access to all thune.dev apps and web services with usage limits per application. For example: thune git supports public repositories only (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket), thune sql allows up to 5 database connections, thune watch monitors up to 3 servers, thune mesh allows up to 50 pages, and thune flow allows up to 2 projects. You can have 1 team with just yourself — no additional members.

Annual plans offer savings compared to monthly billing (roughly 17%). You're billed once per year upfront. You can switch from monthly to annual at any time — the annual rate applies from your next billing cycle.

Yes. Upgrades take effect immediately. Downgrades take effect at the end of your current billing period. Existing content is never deleted when you downgrade — you just won't be able to add more until you upgrade again or reduce your usage to within the plan's limits.

You'll see a notification in the affected app and be prompted to upgrade. Existing content is not deleted. You simply won't be able to add new items beyond the limit until you upgrade your plan.

We're working on a free trial period for paid plans. In the meantime, the Free plan lets you explore all applications and experience the platform without any commitment or credit card required.

Yes. All web services are provided as Docker images that you run in your own infrastructure. Your data never leaves your servers. This is the default deployment model. A managed cloud option is planned for the future.

Each web service comes as a Docker image. You can run them with Docker Compose or deploy to any container orchestration platform (Kubernetes, Portainer, etc.). Detailed documentation will be available at launch, including Docker Compose templates and configuration guides.

Yes. Most platform features are accessible via CLI, making thune.dev suitable for automation pipelines, scripts, and AI-powered developer workflows. This makes it possible to, for example, inject secrets from thune secret storage directly into your CI/CD pipelines.

Since thune.dev runs in your own infrastructure (self-hosted), you have full control over your data and can ensure GDPR compliance. For the planned managed cloud option, we will provide full GDPR compliance with EU-based servers and a Data Processing Agreement (DPA).

Free plan users can use our community support via GitHub Issues. Pro, Advanced, and Teams plan users have access to email support. Enterprise customers get a dedicated support contact. We also maintain documentation for all products.

We actively welcome feedback! You can open issues or discussions on our GitHub repository, or reach out directly. thune.dev is actively developed and community input shapes the roadmap.

You can cancel your subscription at any time from your account settings at account.thune.dev. After cancellation, your plan remains active until the end of the current billing period. Your data and content are not deleted immediately — you'll have time to export.
