The terms, plainly.

Last updated November 14, 2026

These terms cover the CATch Mac app, CATch Pro and this website. By using any of them you agree to these terms. If something here is unclear, email [email protected] and we’ll explain.

The app

CATch is free to use. The free version includes Mochi, 5 focus sessions a week and the last 7 days of session history.
Beta builds have every feature unlocked at no cost. Beta builds are for testing and may change or stop working when the beta ends.
CATch runs entirely on your Mac and never connects to the internet. What it reads and keeps is described in our privacy policy.
CATch is a focus aid, not a monitoring tool. Don’t use it to watch anyone else’s computer.

Buying CATch Pro

CATch Pro is a one-time purchase of $24 (plus any sales tax or VAT where you live). It isn’t a subscription and never renews.
Our order process is conducted by our online reseller Paddle.com. Paddle.com is the Merchant of Record for all our orders. Paddle provides all customer service inquiries and handles returns. Paddle’s buyer terms apply to the purchase itself.
After paying you get a license key. Pro unlocks unlimited focus sessions, your full session history, and the cats and Pro features released during CATch 1.x. Features we list as “coming to Pro” arrive as free 1.x updates when they’re ready.
A future major version (CATch 2) may be a paid upgrade. Your 1.x key keeps working with CATch 1.x.
You can get your money back within 30 days. See the refund policy.

Your license

A CATch Pro key is a personal license for one person. You can use it on all the Macs you personally use.
Please don’t share or publish your key. Keys that are shared publicly may be switched off in a later app update.
Your key is checked on your Mac, with no internet connection. Keep a copy somewhere safe; if you lose it, email us from the address you bought with and we’ll send it again.
CATch, Mochi and the app’s artwork remain ours. Don’t copy, resell or redistribute the app or its art.

No guarantees

We work hard to make CATch helpful and reliable, but it’s provided “as is”. We can’t promise it will be free of bugs, will suit every Mac setup, or will keep you focused. To the extent the law allows, we aren’t liable for indirect losses from using CATch, and our total liability is limited to what you paid for CATch Pro. Nothing here limits rights you have under consumer law that can’t be waived.

Changes

We may update these terms as CATch grows. We’ll change the date above, and won’t take away anything you’ve already paid for.
