Questions, answered. No fine print.

Is it really one-time?

Yes. Pay $99 once and the app is yours, with free updates. No subscription, ever.

Does my data leave my Mac?

No. Your library lives in a local database, and the AI runs on-device. Nothing leaves unless you add a cloud key yourself.

What’s “bring your own key”?

On-device features are free, out of the box. For cloud image vision, add your own Gemini key. You pay the provider directly, at cost.

Which macOS do I need?

macOS 13 or later. It’s a native Mac app, fast on both Apple Silicon and Intel.

Can I import from Pocket or Raindrop?

One click. Bring over Raindrop, Pocket, browser bookmarks, or a folder of PDFs. All local, no account.

What’s your refund policy?

If it’s not for you, we’ll refund you. See the full terms on the refund page. Read the refund policy →
