FAQ
Common questions.
Do I need an account to download?
You'll create a free account to unlock the download. The account is what your projects sync to — and the Free plan is forever.
Is the desktop app free?
Yes. The app is free. Premium features (AI Design, web embed, more storage) require a subscription.
How do updates work?
NEK updates itself in the background. New features ship regularly. You can pause auto-updates in settings.
Does it work offline?
Yes — designing, building and rendering all run locally on your machine. Your files stay on your disk; cloud sync is optional.
