How buying works
- Start the 14-day trial from the app. All Pro features are on, no card needed.
- Buying emails you a license key. Paste it into Settings, or click the Activate link in the email.
- One license works on up to 3 of your Macs. You can deactivate one from Settings.
- The app checks your license offline. It never locks you out because you have no internet.
- After your first year, keep the version you have forever, or renew updates for about $12 a year.
- Students get 50% off with a school email.
Checkout and receipts are handled by Lemon Squeezy. Already bought? Manage your license and orders.
What Pro will not do
