Source code license
BloomMD source code from Marketing 0.5.1 onward is available under the Elastic License 2.0 (ELv2). Earlier published versions, including Desktop v0.5.14, retain their original MIT license. The Obsidian plugin is and stays licensed under MIT.
Access to BloomMD Web and Cloud
Access to BloomMD Web and Cloud is provided through a free trial account. It is valid for 30 days from confirmation of your email address. For existing accounts, including former waitlist participants, the trial period ends on December 15, 2026. After that the account is read-only: you can still read and export your content. The terms and conditions apply. The source code license above governs use of the source code independently of access to the hosted service.
Local use
The desktop app, Obsidian compatibility and CLI are intended for local Markdown files. Files remain portable and can be used independently of BloomMD in other Markdown tools.
Open-format principle
Content remains exportable as Markdown files and can continue to be used independently of BloomMD.
