Questions

What is Balköse?

A small studio of browser-based web apps that each do one thing beautifully. Every app runs in your browser with nothing to install, and it's a one-time purchase — buy once, own forever, no subscription.

Do I need to install anything or make an account?

No. Balköse apps run right in your web browser with no download and no sign-up. Most can also be “added to home screen” and used offline.

Is it a subscription?

Never. Each app has a generous free tier, and Pro is a one-time purchase ($19) that unlocks the full app on every device you own.

Where are my photos stored?

On your own device. Balköse apps do their work in the browser — your photos and projects stay with you and aren't uploaded.

How do creators get paid?

Join the partner program free, get a unique tracked link, and earn 40% (up to 50% for founding partners) on every one-time sale. Payhip tracks sales and you withdraw to PayPal.
