Licenses and the free trial

How the 14-day trial works, how to activate your license, and how to move it to another Mac.

Free trial

SleepFade is free to use for 14 days, with every feature. No account or card is needed. The moon menu shows how many days are left.

After the trial, SleepFade stops fading until you add a license. Your settings are kept.

Buy

SleepFade is a one-time purchase of $9.99. Click Buy in the moon menu. Checkout is handled by our reseller, Polar, and your license key arrives by email.

Activate your license

  1. Copy the license key from your receipt email.
  2. Click the moon icon, then Enter License.
  3. Click Paste, then Activate.

Settings > License then shows Licensed.

Use it on more Macs

One license works on up to 3 of your Macs. Activate it on each one the same way.

To move it to a new Mac when all 3 are in use, open Settings > License on a Mac you no longer use and choose Remove License from This Mac. That frees a slot.

Being offline

SleepFade checks your license about once a day. If you’re offline, nothing happens: your license keeps working.
