https://sonaurelis.com/journal2026-08-09T00:00:00ZNotes from Sonaurelis development — short, true, and dated. https://sonaurelis.com/journal#pricing-decided2026-08-09T00:00:00Z<p>The plugins will be <span class='num'>$119</span> each, or <span class='num'>$349</span> for the suite of five. Perpetual licenses — no subscription, ever. Your license will be a file that validates on your machine: no activation server, no account, no dongle.</p><p>We are publishing prices before anything can be bought because we would rather be checkable than mysterious. If a launch window is discounted, it will be real, time-boxed, and end when we said it would.</p> https://sonaurelis.com/journal#visual-standard-frozen2026-08-09T00:00:00Z<p>Today the Sonaurelis Visual Standard reached v2.0 and froze — checksummed, versioned, and binding for every plugin in the suite. It locks the things that make five products feel like one line: the placement grid, the obsidian material system, the champagne-collared knob, the type ramp, the motion grammar, and the rule above all of them — every moving pixel traces to real telemetry.</p><p>The interface imagery on this site comes from that standard’s reference renders. As each plugin ships, its renders will be replaced with captures of the real thing — that swap will be announced here, not quietly.</p><p>Next: Gravitywell, the compressor, builds first against the frozen standard.</p>
