PRIVATE BY DEFAULT
Your writing is stored locally in the app's sandbox on your Mac. Locus does not require an account, track your activity, or send your notes to a server. Optional App Lock uses macOS authentication.
Locus Pro requires an auto-renewable subscription purchased through your Apple Account. Choose $2.99 monthly or $19.99 yearly. The subscription renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings.
