Questions & Answers

Why can’t I continue to use the version from the Mac App Store?

The Mac App Store version of Keep It is primarily a subscription app, and will continue to be updated for subscribers.

Keep It for Mac on the Mac App Store also offers the ability to pay once to use the app for each major version (e.g. every v1.x release, or every v2.x release), with an optional upgrade discount when moving from one major version to the next, similar to the traditional full version / upgrade payment model prevalent in Mac apps sold outside the Mac App Store.

Therefore Keep It users who do not wish to pay to upgrade to receive updates for the next major version may continue to do so by downloading it from the Reinvented Software web site. This version of the app is free for Mac App Store Keep It users who paid to use all v1.x versions before the free upgrade period, but do not wish to upgrade to v2.x.

Who should download this version?

Subscribers should continue to use the Mac App Store version. Similarly, anyone who purchased Keep It in the year before the new major was released will automatically qualify for a free upgrade, and therefore do not need to pay to upgrade to v2.x.

Will I still be able to get an upgrade discount in the future?

You may download and install any Keep It 2.x version either from the Mac App Store or the Reinvented Software site and qualify for an upgrade discount to receive all v2.x updates for as long as Keep It v2.x is on sale.

How often are major versions released?

Major versions of Keep It (and its predecessors) are released on average every 4.5 years, however there is no set schedule, and it varies from release to release.
