Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about StrawBoss tiers, the RidgeTech Suite, and licenses.
Why did you switch to clean, all-inclusive tiers?
We believe in honest, predictable tools. Instead of nickel-and-diming you with separate checkboxes for vehicle limits or garden beds, StrawBoss Pro unlocks every single homestead feature with zero confusing modular math.
What is the RidgeTech Boss Bundle?
The RidgeTech Boss Bundle combines both StrawBoss (for your homestead, tractors, livestock, and crops) and HearthBoss (for your home appliances, HVAC, filter specs, and garage vehicles) at a discounted $119/year rate. Both use client-side zero-knowledge encryption.
How does client-side zero-knowledge encryption protect me?
Before your records leave your device, they are encrypted with military-grade AES-256 using your private vault passphrase. Even if someone gained unauthorized access to the database server, they would see only scrambled, undecipherable ciphertext.
What happens when the 100 Founder Passes sell out?
The Founder Lifetime Pass is strictly capped to the first 100 members. Once those 100 passes are claimed, the lifetime option is permanently retired, and StrawBoss will only be available via annual or monthly subscription.
