# PRO FEATURES
Basic adjustments like text size are free in Paper. More advanced personalization can be purchased with Pro Features. You will not be buying anything blindly, though. The trial period for Pro Features is untimed, so you can take your time to decide if they are a worthy investment.
While trialing Pro Features, you might occasionally see a popup. Simply press Reset in the popup to get rid of it completely.
Pro Features are either a subscription or a one-time purchase. Both the subscription and the one-time purchase unlock Pro Features on all your Macs that share the same Apple ID. This subscription (or one-time purchase) applies only to Macs. iPhones and iPads require a separate subscription (or one-time purchase).
The one-time purchase is hidden by default. To enable it, press the "Show one-time purchase" button in the Pro Features popup that appears in the View menu.
If you want to upgrade from a Monthly subscription to a Yearly one (or to a Lifetime license), click the Paper menu, hold the Option key on your keyboard, and select the respective upgrade under Purchases.

Doesn't Work
YellowGrape382
Completely not usable when language is set to Arabic. Tried to set a custom language for the app through settings, could not. Problem seems unsolvable from my end.But to be fair, when it actually works (presumably on left-to-right languages), it's a 5-star app. Best writing software I ever used.
Developer Response
Hey!Thank you for the review!I've put a lot of effort to ensure Paper works with all languages. I am really curious to hear more about the problems you are experiencing, since in my testing with RTL languages it did work.I would really appreciate if you could write to hey@papereditor.app email address, so we could continue this discussion. I am pretty certain I can make Paper a 5-star experience even for RTL languages!
Dear User,
This version includes a few updates for macOS 27 Golden Gate.
Pleasant update,
Your Paper
