Frequently Asked Questions
Productivity is about flow. Focused tools do one job exceptionally well and stay out of your way.
We build tools you own, not rent. Most apps offer a one-time purchase or lifetime license. PortWatcher is completely free. No subscriptions, no recurring fees — you buy once (or pay nothing), you keep it forever.
By using native frameworks like SwiftUI and high-performance Rust, avoiding Electron bloat.
Yes, absolutely. All of our macOS utilities are compiled natively for Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4), ensuring minimal battery drain and maximum performance, while remaining fully compatible with Intel Macs.
Most of our apps require macOS 13.0 (Ventura) or later. Newer releases like Devlog, Clipset, Promptheus, and Bracketeer require macOS 14.0 (Sonoma). Glance supports macOS 12.0 (Monterey) and up, and is also available on Windows.
Apps purchased through the Mac App Store work on any Macs signed into your Apple ID. Direct purchases follow the license terms shown at checkout.
On your machine only. Our apps process everything in local memory and on your local disk. Screenshots, clipboard history, prompts, notes, and tracked hours never leave your device. We do not use cloud sync or remote servers for application data.
Each app has dedicated documentation and support. For general inquiries, reach us at hello@productivitymacapps.com.
No. We believe in local-first software. Loopset, TidyShot, Clipset, Promptheus, PortWatcher, and Devlog run entirely locally on your machine with zero cloud tracking. Bracketeer works offline for building and organizing requests, only connecting when you choose to send one. Glance operates locally for processing, requiring internet connectivity only for its presentation functions.
