Pocket Room asking for the licence key from your Gumroad receipt

You asked

Will it slow my Mac down?

No, I promise. The room knows when you're busy. Open another app, or leave the mouse alone for a few seconds, and it quietly settles down and sits there like an ordinary wallpaper, at 0% CPU. When your screen goes dark, your Mac locks, or something goes full screen, it has a little nap. Your timers, focus sessions and the meeting bell keep counting the whole time, so nothing you set is ever missed.

Is my stuff private?

Yes. Everything stays on your Mac. No account, no cloud, no tracking, nothing uploaded. Inchy runs on Apple Intelligence on your Mac too.

Is it a wallpaper?

Yes, a live one. It sits on your desktop layer, behind every window, so it's there whenever you close or move them. Unlike a normal wallpaper, you can click everything in it.

Which Macs does it work on?

Any Mac with an Apple chip, on macOS 13 or later.

Is it on Windows or iPad?

Not yet. Both are coming, and the buttons above will light up when they do.

Is it a subscription?

No. One purchase, and it's yours. Every update to the 1.x versions is free, and your licence works on the Macs you use.

Can I add my own photos?

Yes. Drop them on the corkboard, the photo frame or a book to make an album. They stay on your Mac.

Can I make it look like mine?

Yes. Eleven room themes, twenty pets, and you can right-click almost anything to change it: the wall, the desk, the mug, the lamp.

My Mac says it can't open it?

Only the first time. Click Done, then open System Settings, Privacy & Security, and click Open Anyway. That's it.

What if I need help?

Write to cozyroomsupport@gmail.com. It's just me, and I answer.
