Frequently Asked Questions

Is my data stored in the cloud?

No. MinuteKeep is a desktop application that stores your corporate records locally in a SQLite database on your Mac. MinuteKeep does not upload those records to the licensing service.

How many corporations can I manage?

Unlimited. Your license allows you to create and manage as many corporations as you need. Each corporation's data is completely separated, and you can switch between them instantly.

What jurisdictions are supported?

MinuteKeep includes templates and compliance tracking for Canada, United States, United Kingdom, and European Union. Templates are customized for jurisdiction-specific requirements like CBCA, Delaware law, Companies Act 2006, and EU directives.

Is this a subscription?

No. MinuteKeep is a one-time purchase with a perpetual license for the purchased version. There are no monthly fees or annual renewals.

How does the license work?

You receive one perpetual license key that can be active on two Macs at a time. Deactivate one Mac before moving that activation to a replacement computer.

What if you go out of business?

Your corporate records are stored locally and remain exportable even if an online service is unavailable. MinuteKeep supports a bounded offline grace period after a successful license validation.

Do you provide legal advice?

No. MinuteKeep is a record-keeping and document management tool. While we provide templates and compliance reminders, these are for informational purposes only. Always consult with qualified legal professionals for advice specific to your situation.

What if I need help?

Email us at support@ownerstate.com. You can also check our documentation for detailed guides on all features.

Is there a free trial?

We don't offer a free trial, but we do offer a 14-day refund policy. If MinuteKeep doesn't meet your needs and you haven't activated your license, contact us for a full refund.

How do updates work?

MinuteKeep checks for available updates. Ownerstate Software may provide maintenance, security, compatibility, or feature updates for the licensed version, without promising every future version.

Can I export my minute book?

Yes. You can export individual documents as PDFs, or export your complete minute book for a corporation as a single PDF containing all directors, shareholders, meetings, resolutions, and documents.

Is the audit trail really tamper-proof?

Yes. Every change is recorded with a SHA-256 cryptographic hash that links to the previous entry. Any modification to historical records would break the hash chain and be immediately detectable.

What languages are supported?

MinuteKeep is available in 9 languages: English, French, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Arabic, and Hindi. Switch languages anytime from Settings.
