Good to know
What you need
Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit: no admin rights, install just for you or run the portable copy with nothing installed. Mac: macOS 13 Ventura or later, Apple silicon or Intel.
15 days to change your mind
If Pro isn’t right for you, we refund the full $179 within 15 days of buying. No reasons needed.
Is Pro a subscription?
No. You pay $179 once and Pro never expires. New versions are included for 12 months. After that you can renew for $69 a year, or keep the version you have for as long as you like.
Start free, upgrade later
Free and Pro are one program. When you’re ready, enter your licence key and Pro unlocks in the copy you already have. Nothing to reinstall.
Your plans stay yours
The internet is only needed to activate a licence and check for updates. Desktop Plan never sends your plans anywhere.
