Agenda

A date-focused note taking app for both planning and documenting your projects.

My favorite pricing model is by the note-taking app Agenda[0]. It's called a Cash Cow[1] model—you make a one-time purchase, which allows you updates for the next year. At the end of the year, you can either purchase another year of updates, or enjoy the full-featured app you currently have. The thing keeping me from subscriptions is the fact that if you decide you no longer want to pay, you no longer get access. This encourages devs to continue to ship great updates, while not gimping your software at the end of the payment term. [0] https://agenda.com/.

Reaper

Reaper is a focused digital audio workstation (DAW) developed by Cockos. In the creation of the software, the digital audio technology company intended to make audio editing accessible to the masses.

> It is unrealistic to expect to be able to pay once and use an app "forever". That's the other extreme though. There's a middle ground that http://reaper.fm/ uses. You buy the current x and x+1 versions. Then you pay for the license again if you want. The price is very reasonable and there's no subscription as such. If you're happy with the old major version, you can use it as long as it continues to work.
