Registering for an account

Once nama-sync is installed, you will be prompted to login or register for an account. AliaSync is free and the base functionality will always stay free. Additionally, the data will always stay private. Your email or data will never be mined or sold to third parties.

Why are nama & nama-sync seperate packages?

Security and flexibility are very important to Nama. In order for it to be a generally useful utility, I wanted it to be deployable in all types of situations. Nama doesn't contain any networking functionality, so it can be deployed in secure or offline locations without degradation in peformance or related security concerns.
