Will love to buy this once I get my Mac.

Looks great, and also love the perpetual license for $9.99 rather than the host of subscription services, i'll probably end up buying it just to support good practices.

That's cool … but we're calling buying an app licensing it now?

That word is a red flag for me — wondering what dark pattern is awaiting, finding myself digging for the fine print…

At least back in the day, it used to be common to "buy a license" or "buy a serial key". I didn't really put too much thought into the phrasing, as I haven't received any feedback.

Regardless, when you buy it, it's yours forever - no activation, no DRM, no subscription, no fine print.
