About This App

It is available in both free and premium tiers; the free version includes 500MB of monthly bandwidth. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.

After updating, your login credentials and preferences carry over without any manual migration, and you will see better performance and battery life compared to running the Intel build under Rosetta.
