Buying and availability

Where do I get each app?

DockApp, MistBar, GestureCraft, and TrillMark are sold directly from their product sites. RangeTrace is available on the Mac App Store; DroidPort will be available there when it launches.

How do direct purchases work?

You get a license key by email right after checkout — instant delivery, no SKJ APPS account to create, and activation on up to 3 of your Macs at once.

It’s a one-time purchase — are updates free?

Yes. Updates within the version you bought are free and can install automatically. It’s a one-time purchase, never a subscription.

What do I need to run them?

Requirements vary by app. The four direct-download apps require macOS 26+ on Apple silicon; RangeTrace and DroidPort support macOS 14+. Every release is signed by Apple, and direct downloads are notarized.

What if a direct-purchase app isn’t right for me?

Direct purchases have a 14-day, no-questions-asked money-back guarantee — just email [email protected] within 14 days for a full refund. Mac App Store refund requests are handled by Apple.

About

A one-person operation

SKJ APPS makes focused utilities for the everyday jobs macOS leaves unfinished. Each app solves a clear problem, stays out of your way, and is designed to make your Mac feel more useful without becoming one more thing to manage.

The available apps are sold directly from their product websites; RangeTrace is on the Mac App Store, and DroidPort is coming there soon. Every release is signed by Apple, and direct downloads are notarized. SKJ APPS is independent, based in the United States, and not backed by anyone.
