Quick answers
Is BeginThings really free?
Yes for the free tools: all 48 run in your browser with no signup, free forever. BeginRooms, the 3D workspace, comes with a 15-day free trial (no card needed), then $15/month if you keep it. FormulaMapper for Excel works the same way: 15-day trial, then $9.99/month.
Do I need an account?
No account needed for the free tools. BeginRooms uses a quick Google or email sign-in so your rooms are saved to your account and sync across your devices.
Where are my files saved?
Free tools run entirely in your browser; nothing is uploaded. BeginRooms saves your rooms to your account over an encrypted connection, so you can pick up on any device. You can also export boards as PNG or PDF.
Can I install BeginThings as an app?
Yes. Open the site in Chrome, Safari, or Edge on phone or desktop and use "Add to home screen" or "Install app". It runs like a native app and looks tidy in your launcher.
