Yes. MeshVault 2.3 desktop and server builds are free, with no trial, licence key or subscription. Optional filament affiliate links help fund development. Disable them in Options to keep using standard retailer links.
The library is portable because its database stays inside the library folder, so it can move between supported desktop clients on a portable drive. For simultaneous access from multiple computers, use MeshVault Server. File-sync tools may be suitable when only one client uses the library at a time, but concurrent syncing of the SQLite database can cause conflicts.
