Love

Excalibee was created with lots of love by me (Jessy), from the Netherlands. I put a lot of care into making the app feel polished, keeping every drawing on your own server, and making it simple to run as a single container.

Your support token will be shown after checkout. If you run into any problems, just email me at orders@butterhost.ing

Support token

When providing the EXCALIBEE_SUPPORT_TOKEN environment variable, a tiny cosmetic surprise will be unlocked in the footer of Excalibee's web interface.

FAQ

Does Excalibee send my drawings anywhere?
No. Every drawing, thumbnail and pasted image is stored in a SQLite database on your own server, and nowhere else. Even Excalidraw's fonts are served by the container, so Excalibee makes no outbound requests at all.

Is Excalibee free?
Yes, Excalibee is 100% free and open source software, and so is Excalidraw, which it is built on.

Will Excalibee ever become closed-source or require payment to use?
Not as long as I’m overseeing this project. But even if that changed, it would not matter because the MIT license allows anyone to fork the project at any time.

Does token verification require an internet connection?
No, absolutely not. Excalibee verifies support tokens entirely offline during startup.

Since Excalibee is open source, can't I just modify the code to bypass token verification?
Absolutely! Allow me to help:

sed -i 's/EXCALIBEE_SUPPORTER: Boolean.*/EXCALIBEE_SUPPORTER: true,/' ./src/Env.ts

You can run this command in the project root to turn yourself into a "supporter" and unlock the tiny surprise. Please keep in mind that modifying the project's source code requires you to build a new (local) Docker image via ./image.sh create
