Questions

Everything people ask.

The short version of this list is on the front page. This is the whole thing.

Paying and licences
Is any of this a subscription?

No. Every app is a one-time purchase with free updates. The bundle is one payment of $49.99 for all three. There is nothing to cancel because nothing renews.

What does one licence cover?

Each licence is for your personal use on up to 2 Macs. Your account lists every licence you own and how many seats are in use. Sign in inside the app on a second Mac and it takes the second seat by itself.

Can I pay without a card?

Yes. Card payments run through Paddle, our reseller. There is also a crypto option in the same checkout window, which issues an invoice and activates your licence when the payment confirms.

Do you do refunds?

Email [email protected] within 14 days of your purchase and you get your money back, no hassle. Crest has a free tier and all three apps have a 7-day trial, so please ask in good faith. The full policy is on the legal page.

I paid and nothing arrived. What now?

Buying creates your account and sends one link that sets your password. Check spam first, because that one email is the whole handoff. If it is not there, write to [email protected] from the address you paid with and it gets fixed by hand, usually the same day.

Your account
Why do I need an account to download?

Because your account is how you get what you paid for. Licences live on your email, activation links go to your email, and signing in inside the app is what unlocks Pro. Making the account first means a purchase can never land somewhere you cannot reach.

I never got the confirmation email.

Check spam, then use the resend link on the account page. Confirmation links are good for 14 days. If the address had a typo, sign up again with the right one: an unconfirmed account can be replaced safely.

I forgot my password.

Use the forgotten-password link on the account page. The reset email goes to your address, and the reply you see is deliberately the same whether or not an account exists, so nobody can use that form to find out who has one.

Can I move a licence to a new Mac?

Yes. Sign in inside the app on the new Mac and it activates. If both seats are already used, write to [email protected] and the old seat gets released.

I already own Crest Pro. What changes?

Nothing. Your key keeps working forever. Sign in with the email you bought with and it appears in your account next to anything new you pick up.

Installing and running
Which Macs do I need?

Crest wants a MacBook with a notch on macOS 14 or later. Take runs on any Mac on macOS 14 or later. Minutes requires macOS 26 on Apple Silicon, because its transcription and summarization use Apple's built-in models.

macOS will not open the app. What is wrong?

All three apps are signed and notarized by Apple, so the usual right-click-to-open workaround should not be needed. If macOS still refuses, the download was probably interrupted: delete it, empty the Trash and download again. If it happens twice, write in and say which macOS you are on.

Why is Crest asking for permissions?

Only for the module you are using, and each request says so in the dialog. Calendar for your next meeting and the one-tap join. Reminders for todos. Bluetooth for device batteries. The microphone for the pre-meeting mic check and the teleprompter's follow-my-voice scrolling. The camera for the pre-meeting camera check. Deny any of them and that one module goes quiet, while the rest keeps working.

Does it really work offline?

Yes. You need internet once, to activate. After that every feature runs offline. Minutes never sends audio or text anywhere, online or not: transcription and summaries run on Apple's on-device models.

How do updates work?

Each app checks for its own updates and can install in place, and every app's settings has a Check for updates button. Updates are free for the life of the app you bought.

How do I uninstall?

Quit the app and drag it from Applications to the Trash. Your files stay where they are: recordings are .mov files in your Movies folder and meeting notes are Markdown in their own folder, both readable without any of our software. Delete those yourself if you want them gone.

Reviews

What people say.

Nothing appears here until it is approved, and a verified badge means the address matches a real licence. We do not write these.

What changed

Every release, written down.

Each app keeps its own history, and the same text appears inside the app under What's New. Updates are free for the life of the app.
