EDEL GROUP
Switzerland · Est. 2026

Fair software.
Made in Switzerland.

We build the tools we use every day, a PDF editor, a private notetaker and a fitness app, and price them the way software should always have been priced: €10 a year, or €30 for life. Open source. Your data stays on your computer. No trackers, no ads.

The family

Three companies. One standard.

Every EDEL company makes software we need ourselves, keeps it on your own machine, and sells it at a price you never have to think about.

The EDEL way

Six promises. In writing.

This is the whole contract between us and you. If we ever break one of these, you should ask for your money back.

01

Fair prices, forever

€10 a year or €30 for life. Every feature and all updates included. No ads, no add-ons, no "premium" tier behind a second payment.

02

Your computer, your data

Everything runs locally, even offline. No account, no cloud, no AI reading your documents. What happens on your PC stays on your PC.

03

Open source

Our apps are open source under the GNU AGPL-3.0, built on well-known open-source libraries. Want to check what an app does? Ask us for the source code.

04

Made in Switzerland

Designed and built with love in Switzerland, under a jurisdiction you can rely on. We pay our taxes here, and we answer for what we ship.

05

Licences that follow you

One licence works on up to 3 of your computers activated in the same network, Windows and Mac. New laptop? Move it yourself in one click. No tickets, no buying it twice.

06

Built by people who use it

We hold the meetings, edit the contracts and do the training. We make the software we need ourselves, and we keep updating it.

Pricing

One price. Every feature. Every app.

While the market charges €100 to €240 a year per seat, we decided software could cost less than a coffee a month. Every new user gets 30 days free.

Less than €1 a month, for everything.

The family plan: own one, get the rest at half price.

Roadmap

You ask. We build. Quickly.

We don't guess what you want: you tell us, and if enough people agree, it ships. Sometimes in days, not quarters.

+6 months free

For every idea we adopt

Ask for a feature, a language, an integration or a platform. If we build your suggestion into any EDEL app, you get 6 months free. Keep suggesting, keep it free.

2–3 votes = shipped

Consensus beats roadmaps

When two or three people ask for the same thing, we stop discussing and start building. Your emails really do steer what the family makes next, including entirely new apps.

On the bench now: EDEL PDF for Mac, German and Spanish transcription in EDEL NoteTaker, more ATS and CRM connections, PDF to PowerPoint. Both apps already speak English, French, Spanish and German. Missing something? That's what the inbox is for.
