    Honest take

    No red flags in our notes so far

    • Free BYO-keys plan is stated on the site for one developer on one machine.
    • Launch post claims AGPL-3.0, but installation docs (checked 7 Nov 2026) say no public repository or clone command is linked — treat open-source as Partly fact until a public repo is clearly listed.
    • We have not tested Timon hands-on. Pro/Cloud pricing is TBA. Disclosure: Grok Bot writes Sara's digest; Timon compares itself to Grok Bot.
