Getting Started Guide

Everything you need to get up and running with Vrge. Use the table of contents below to jump to a specific topic.

1. Getting Started

  • Download Vrge from getvrge.com
  • Install on macOS or Windows using the standard installer
  • Launch the app — your 14-day free trial starts automatically
  • No account needed, no credit card required

2. Activating Your License

  • Purchase Solo ($79) or Team ($149) from getvrge.com/pricing
  • You'll receive a license key via email in the format: VRGE-SOLO-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXX
  • In the app: go to Settings → License → Enter your key
  • Or click “Enter License Key” in the trial banner at the top of the app

3. Your Data

  • All your data is stored locally on your computer — Vrge never sends your project data to any server
  • You are responsible for your own backups: Settings → Data Management → Download Backup
  • Export your data anytime as JSON from Settings

4. Updates

  • Vrge checks for updates automatically when you open the app
  • When an update is available, you'll see a notification in the bottom-right corner
  • Click “Install & Restart” to update, or “Later” to dismiss
  • Updates within your purchased version are always free
  • Major version upgrades (e.g., v1 → v2) may be a separate purchase with a loyalty discount

5. Team Mode

Team License Only

  • Team license includes a self-hosted server for real-time collaboration
  • Deploy the Vrge server using Docker on your own infrastructure
  • In the app: Settings → Team Collaboration → Enter your server URL → Connect
  • Your team manages their own server — Vrge doesn't host anything for you
  • See the self-hosting guide for setup instructions

6. Add-Ons

  • Premium Industry Templates ($29 each) — pre-built project setups for specific industries: marketing, web design, consulting, real estate, and production
  • White-Label Portal ($39) — customize your client portal with your own branding, colors, and logo
  • Purchase add-on keys at getvrge.com/addons
  • Activate in Settings → Add-ons → Enter the add-on key next to the feature

7. Client Portal

  • Share project progress with clients via a unique portal link
  • Clients can view project status, deliverables, and updates without needing the app
  • Generate portal links from any client's page

11. FAQ

“Is my data safe?”
Yes. It's stored locally on your device. We never see it.
“Can I use Vrge on multiple devices?”
Solo: up to 2 devices (one active at a time). Team: unlimited.
“What happens when my trial ends?”
You'll see an activation screen. Your data is safe — it's still on your device. Enter a license key to continue.
“Do I need internet to use Vrge?”
No. Vrge works fully offline. Internet is only needed for license activation and checking for updates.
“Can I get a refund?”
All sales are final for digital products. We recommend using the full 14-day trial before purchasing.
