Updates and lifetime policy

What you pay for, what happens after 12 months, and what never changes.

Pro

• You get 12 months of updates from the day you buy.
• After 12 months, the last version you received keeps working forever. We do not turn it off or ask you to pay to keep using it.
• Newer versions need a renewal. Renewing is optional and only extends your update period.
• Older versions stay available on the Older versions page.
• Your license works offline. We never need to contact your Mac.

How to read this

Each build records the date it was released. A license unlocks a build when that date falls inside your update period. Older builds stay unlocked for good. A newer build starts in the Free tier and tells you how to renew.

App Store edition

• The unlock is a one-time purchase and includes updates to the current major version.
• A future major version would be a new purchase, because the Mac App Store has no upgrade pricing. We will say so in the listing.
