Frequently asked
Got questions?
What is free and what does Pro add?
Free: app and file-name search (20 file results per query), the global hotkey, clipboard history showing the last 50 items from the past 7 days, and half-screen and maximize snapping. Pro ($9 once) removes those limits and adds file-content search, snippets, text recognition in copied images, quarter, third and centre snapping, file actions and automations. A 7-day Pro trial starts the first time you use a Pro feature.
Does it need an account?
No. Pro is unlocked with a licence key. Hub contacts our server to activate the key and keep this Mac's seat, and checks for updates once a day. Your clipboard history and search index stay on your Mac.
Why does it ask for Accessibility access?
To move and resize windows, to paste a clipboard item into the app you were using, to expand snippets and to read app menus. The global hotkey works without it.
Does it run on Intel Macs?
Yes. It ships as a universal binary and needs macOS 14 Sonoma or later.
