Five Dollars for mat
Five dollars can’t buy you a loss. Five dollars can’t buy you a con. But five dollars buys you mat, upgraded free for as long as it ships.

The price schedule
The price climbs one dollar a month, on the 12th, and stops at the list price of $99.99:
| Date | Price |
|---|---|
| 12 Nov 2026 | $5 |
| 12 Dec 2026 | $6 |
| 12 Nov 2027 | $17 |
| 12 Nov 2028 | $29 |
| 12 Nov 2030 | $53 |
| 12 Sep 2034 | $99 |
| 12 Oct 2034 onward | $99.99, final |
That is about eight years from $5 to the cap. Every month you wait costs one dollar; a copy bought today costs the same five dollars forever, and its upgrades never stop.

Why not a subscription
A developer tool is hard to rent. The copy you have keeps working whether you upgrade or not, and anyone with a coding agent can patch a small bug on their own. So we stopped renting it and started selling it, and let the price reward the people who show up early.
What five dollars buys
mat runs structured AI-agent sessions against your GitHub repo from tmux. Agents claim ready tickets, get a plan approved by an independent reviewer, implement on a branch, open a PR, pass review by an agent that did not write the code, and merge only on green tests. You talk to them over Telegram instead of watching panes; they come to you for real decisions, not routine ones.
shuke’s own pitch: you focus on requirements and acceptance; the AI team focuses on delivery and quality.
