i. Purchase

One payment, processed through Lemon Squeezy. No account to create, no subscription tier to manage.

ii. Install

Download the signed Windows installer and run it on your own machine. Setup takes a minute or two.

iii. Keep using it

The software runs locally and continues working whether the developer ships updates or not. Updates are included when they come.

Five Windows tools, each one a single purchase.

Each tool is built to solve a specific problem and then maintained over time. Pricing reflects the scope of the tool, not a recurring revenue model.

Send a note

A short list of standing commitments.

The way the business is run matters as much as the software itself. These are the operating principles that hold across every tool.

One-time pricing, kept that way.

Every Madfable tool is sold as a single purchase. Pricing for existing customers is fixed at the price they paid.

Long-term availability.

Installers remain available to customers who have purchased them. Licenses do not expire.

Updates included.

When a tool is improved, the update is included. Existing customers receive new features at the price they originally paid.

Local processing by default.

Software runs on the customer's machine. Files are processed locally. No telemetry, no analytics phoning home.

Direct support.

Support email goes to the developer who wrote the code. Response within one business day.

Built and supported by one person.

Madfable is run by a single developer. There is no team, no outsourced support, no third-party data handling.

Things that can be independently verified.

Trust comes from things you can check, not things companies say about themselves. Here's what's verifiable about Mad Fable.

01 / Signed

Code-signed installers

Each release is signed with a verified publisher certificate. Windows displays my name Michael Raposa as the publisher name on installation.

02 / Offline

Local-only operation

Each tool runs offline once installed. The exception is MadCrawl, which connects to the websites being audited.

03 / Located

Real Massachusetts business

Madfable is registered in Southcoast Massachusetts and operated by a named person aka me! Not a Delaware shell, not an offshore brand.

04 / Processed

Lemon Squeezy payments

Payments are processed by Lemon Squeezy, an established merchant of record handling compliance for thousands of indie developers.

A small studio building software the older way.

Five tools in active development, each one sold as a single purchase and supported directly by the developer. Have a look at what's available, or get in touch with questions.

Answers to the questions that come up most.

  • Yes. Each tool is sold as a single purchase. There is no recurring charge, no annual renewal, and no separate subscription tier. The price displayed on the product page is the total cost.

  • MadCrawl needs internet access to reach the websites it audits. The other tools run fully offline once installed. The software does not phone home, transmit telemetry, or upload files to any server.

  • Data stays on the customer's machine. Files are processed locally, and the software does not transmit user data to Mad Fable or any third party.

  • Yes. When a tool is improved, the update is available to existing customers at no additional cost.

  • Mad Fable is an independent software studio run by me, Mike Raposa from Southcoast, Massachusetts. The same person who writes the code handles the support email.

  • Email support@madfable.com. The reply comes from the developer directly, typically within one business day.

  • Payments are processed by Squarespace or (depending if it’s software) Lemon Squeezy, an established merchant of record that handles tax compliance and payment processing for independent software developers.
