Who it is for
PlanetX: Earth Explorer is built for anyone who enjoys exploring simulated worlds without an always-on connection.
It sits in the games & explore part of the catalogue, and your files never leave the machine to be processed. There is no server behind PlanetX: Earth Explorer to send them to.
Local-first, by design
Plenty of the alternatives send your files to a server to be handled. PlanetX: Earth Explorer does not. Processing runs on your CPU or GPU, and the files you point it at stay where you put them. PlanetX: Earth Explorer does reach the internet for the content it displays, but nothing about you or your files travels the other way.
That is not a setting you enable, it is how PlanetX: Earth Explorer is built, which is why there is no account to create and no subscription to lapse. Full detail is in the PlanetX: Earth Explorer privacy policy.
