Mode Comparison — Direct / Game Mode vs. Compatibility Mode
Exevery separates permanently free direct execution from licensed VM-isolated desktop utility automation.
Direct Mode (Game Mode) never artificially blocks standard executables, while Compatibility Mode provides an isolated ARM64 Linux VM environment (vm-guest-v2),
automated installer profiles, and dedicated compatibility updates.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Direct / Game Mode really free forever?
Yes. Creating bottles, downloading the shared ~3GB runtime image, and running supported games in Game Mode (host-metal-v1) is permanently free and never starts or consumes your 14-day Compatibility Mode trial.
When does the 14-day Compatibility Mode trial start?
Your 14-day Compatibility Mode trial remains in trial_available status until your first Compatibility Mode install or launch action (verified by server time via POST /v1/trials). No credit card or account is required to start the trial.
Does Exevery work offline?
Yes. Game Mode works offline at any time. For Compatibility Mode trials and paid licenses, Exevery caches an Ed25519 server-signed entitlement envelope (SignedEntitlementEnvelope) on your Mac, allowing up to 7 days offline operation between server refreshes.
Who processes payments, taxes, and refunds?
All paid orders are processed by Paddle Billing as our Merchant of Record on behalf of RacoLab. Installed user files are always preserved (preserve_installed_data: true). For license recovery or refund inquiries, contact support@exevery.app.
