What you get for $29 once
- 16 bundled templates. NDAs, freelance and consulting agreements, retainers, SOWs, releases and more across 6 categories.
- Fill-in-the-blanks variables. Placeholders become a form panel — type once and the document updates live with a filled/blank progress counter.

Pricing questions
Is it really free on GitHub?
Yes — Contractly is MIT-licensed at github.com/bensblueprints/contract-templates-mvp. The $29 buys the signed Windows installer; building from source is free.
Does my contract data leave my machine?
No. Contractly is 100% local — everything lives in one human-readable JSON file in your user-data folder, with no account, cloud or telemetry.
Is this legal advice?
No. The templates are general-purpose starting points and laws differ by state and country — have a qualified attorney review anything important. For a funding round or high-stakes deal, pay the lawyer.
