Almost every tool works on Free, with a daily allowance on a few. Pro removes every limit for $4.99, once. Try everything unlimited for 7 days — no credit card, no sign-up, no email required.
Real tools, not a demo
Health is not a premium feature. Developer utilities should earn trust before asking for money. That is why the cockpit, Eye Rest and AI Usage have no limit, and the busier tools give you a real allowance every day — free, forever.

Common questions
What do I get for free?
Almost every tool opens on Free, and nothing expires. With no limit: the developer cockpit, AI Usage with full history, Eye Rest, System, Menu Bar, Snap's halves and quarters, and the notch island glance. With a daily allowance: Ports 10 kills, AI Writer 10 rewrites, Flow AI Ask 10 asks (the Home Brief doesn't count), Screenshot 10 captures, Snap thirds 20, Keep Alive 3 hours, Clipboard 10 pastes into apps, and the full-screen alert for 4 meetings. Up to a count: 2 notes, 2 project boards, 3 active reminders, 2 GitHub repos and 1 cloud account, plus 5 Clipboard pins and 24 hours of clipboard history. Pro only: Space, Claude Code approvals, the island's tools, body breaks and the Pro dock modules. No account, no card.
What happens when I reach a free limit?
The tool shows a quiet "left today" count once half is used. At zero you get one notice with the reset time and a free way to finish: Ports copies the kill command for Terminal, Screenshot points you to ⌘⇧4, Snap puts a third on the nearest half, and Meetings shows a normal banner with Join. You see at most one upgrade card a day across every tool. Daily counts reset at local midnight.
What happens after the 7-day trial?
Nothing is deleted. Everything you set up during the trial keeps working — every note, board, reminder, watched repo and cloud account stays and keeps updating. The free limits only stop you adding more. Clipboard keeps every copy for as long as it was set to keep it; new copies keep 24 hours, and pins past 5 stay. Daily counts start from zero and reset at local midnight. Space, Claude Code approvals, the island's tools, body breaks and the Pro dock modules need Pro. The FavTray Skill for Claude Code and Codex comes with a paid licence only, so it isn't part of the trial. Buy Lifetime and every limit lifts at once.
Do AI Writer and Flow AI include the AI?
No — they run on your own AI provider. Connect an API key or a local model in Flow AI; connecting is free on every plan. Requests go straight from your Mac to that provider, never through our servers.
Do I need to create an account?
No. Download, install, use. No sign-up, no email. If you buy Pro, you activate with a license key — no account needed.
Why is Lifetime only $4.99?
Because it should be an easy yes. One payment for one Mac removes every daily limit and cap, unlocks Space and the full notch island, and includes every feature FavTray ships later. No renewals, no expiry.
Is my data safe?
No FavTray server stores your data. The app talks directly to the services you already use, plus a license check and an update check. There's no account, and credentials are stored in the macOS Keychain.
