Yes, but just try to download it from them. You have to make an account, agree to all kinds of garbage, and then you still might be stuck in "authorization" like my account is. They removed the auto-update functionality (even the notification!) from the app, so you have to manually go through their horrendous website to download updates.

It's 10x easier to just search reddit or internet archive for a link to the .dmg.

If your name or email address has non-alphanumeric characters, their entire authorization/EULA flow breaks silently. I had to use an old email to get it to work.
