Good questions.
Is it a subscription?+
Your choice. Pay $15 once and own it forever, or $3/month and cancel anytime. Same app, every feature, either way.
How does activation work?+
Your license key appears right after checkout. Paste it into the app and this Mac activates in seconds, with room for up to 3 of your Macs. After that, everything runs offline.
Can I share my license?+
A license covers up to 3 Macs that you own. Keys are cryptographically tied to your purchase and each activated machine, so they can't be passed around.
Is my data private?+
Completely. Everything stays on your Mac. No accounts, no servers, no tracking. Export to CSV anytime.
Can I use my own sounds?+
Yes. Mix the built-in procedural soundscapes with your own MP3, M4A, or WAV files.
Which Macs work?+
Any Mac on macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later. No notch required. It docks to any edge.
What if it's not for me?+
Every purchase has a 14-day refund, no questions asked. Email support@sideperch.com and it's done.
Will it slow my Mac down?+
No. It's a tiny native Swift app built on Apple frameworks only. No Electron, no background services, and the ambient sound is generated on your Mac, not streamed.
