Frequently asked questions

Yes. The free plan has no time limit: tasks, notes, journal, and calendar, plus up to 3 active projects, 25 contacts, and 3 meeting recordings a month with local transcripts. Your first 14 days include every Pro feature, so you can see everything before deciding. No credit card.

The app keeps working on the free plan, and nothing is deleted. Pro-only areas — like Goals, Pipeline, and AI meeting summaries — stay visible but become read-only. Buy a Pro license any time and they unlock instantly with the same key; there's nothing to reinstall.

No. The Pro license is a one-time purchase ($39) and you own it. Every 1.x update is included, with no renewal fee.

No. Every 1.x release — new features, fixes, and macOS compatibility patches — is included with your license. If a 2.0 ever ships as a paid upgrade, existing owners get it at a discount, and the version you own keeps working either way.

A Pro license covers 2 of your Macs — say, a work laptop and a home Mac. Each Mac keeps its own local data. Replacing a Mac? Deactivate the old one in Settings → License and activate the new one. Buying for several people? Email support@daytactic.com about volume pricing.

Yes, fully. Your database lives on your Mac. Meeting transcription happens locally via Whisper — audio never leaves your machine. The only network calls are optional Claude/OpenAI requests for action-item extraction (you control the key, you can turn it off) and license validation.

Everything except optional AI features (action-item extraction, and any assistant you connect to the built-in MCP server) works fully offline. Recording, transcription, calendar, CRM, notes — all local. The MCP server itself is a local binary and sends nothing anywhere; only the client you connect it to talks to a network.

Not currently. Direct download only — it lets us ship faster, sandbox less aggressively, and offer a real one-time license. We may add MAS later for discoverability.

Pro licenses have a 14-day money-back guarantee, no questions. Email support@daytactic.com and you're refunded.

Yes — native EventKit, two-way sync, per-calendar rules. Apple Calendar, Google, Exchange, anything macOS Calendar already connects to.

A real Mac app made by one developer needs to be funded by the people using it, not by your data. The free plan lets you find out whether it fits how you work; if it does, you pay once for Pro, with updates included. It's the most honest model we could find.

Not in the foreseeable future. Mac-only, and that's the point — every interaction is tuned for macOS.

Yes. Daytactic was called Life Manager Pro until October 2026. It's the same app: your license key, your data, and your updates carry over, and there's nothing to reinstall.
