Questions, answered

Is this guide free?

Yes. You sign up with your email once and get this guide plus every other guide in the library.

Is Context Mode really free?

The plugin is. It is source available under the Elastic License 2.0, runs on your own computer and needs no account. The same team also sells a hosted platform with a free start and a Pro plan at 49 dollars a month. You do not need it for the plugin.

Does it send my code anywhere?

No. The project says nothing leaves your machine: no telemetry, no cloud sync and no account. Session data sits in a SQLite file in your home folder.
