Why isn't all of it paid?

Because the line is drawn on what you could already get for free, not on what was hard to build. Three rules put each tool on a side — and the paid half is what keeps the free half alive.

Rule 01

Someone good already gives it away

Rectangle snaps windows for nothing. Velja routes links for nothing. A dozen menu-bar switches ship as free one-trick apps. Charging for Hutch's versions would be charging you to skip three downloads — so those three are free forever, with no trial clock and nothing greyed out.

Stays free
Rule 02

Spotlight set the floor

Opening an app and finding a file has cost nothing on a Mac since 2005. A search bar that asked for a card before it would open Safari isn't a trial, it's an app you close once and never reopen — so Pounce's everyday half stays free and has to earn its ⌘Space on merit.

Stays free
Rule 03

Nobody hands these out

A shelf that catches a drag mid-flight. A review that names what's eating the battery and quits it with your say-so. Clipboard history, scripts, Shortcuts, simulators and AI in the same bar. These are the parts people buy separate apps for — one licence, two Macs, every 1.x release.

Questions

What happens after the trial?

The free tools keep working exactly as they did. Nothing is taken away, nothing starts nagging — the paid features simply stop appearing.

Does it need an account?

No. Your licence key is signed, and Hutch verifies it on your Mac without asking anything. There's no login, and no server that can lock you out of software you paid for.

How many Macs?

Two. If you run out, release a Mac you no longer use from Settings → Licence and the seat comes straight back — or add more for $4.99 each.

What about Hutch 2.0?

Your licence covers every 1.x release, however many there are. 2.0 will be a paid upgrade, discounted for anyone who already owns a licence.

Can I get a refund?

Yes — see the refund policy. If Hutch isn't for you, say so and we'll refund it.

Do you take my data?

Hutch runs on your Mac. Anonymous crash reports and feature counts are on by default and switch off together in Settings → General → Privacy. The privacy policy spells out exactly what that includes.
