I believe bots scrape the internet for these, unfortunately :(

I assume these codes are limited to just this app? What would the bots do with individual licenses?

resell them on various sites for < MSRP

Does this have a menubar widget? I miss MenuMeters, after it was killed by an OS update a while back. Would love to try it out, regardless!

I've been extraordinarily happy with iStat Menus for showing a variety of system info in the menu bar.

Check out our new system monitor app "Pluto", it's a different take on at-a-glance availability and is very customizable.

I respect your approach to advertising. This was well executed :)

never have luck with this stuff ;D

You can spend $10 :) It's like 2 coffees. Not that much and not a subscription :)

For those reading, this is likely in reference to Sugarbucks (Starbucks) “coffee”. Brewing at home with a pot or even an espresso machine is approx <$1 per cup.

Technically you're right. Can't argue!

I was too wondering why the screenshots are so low res... is it because I have some apple domains blocked like ocsp?

nope, you’re seeing correctly - it’s a very low-functionality site that’s primary role is to open the App Store app (only works from Safari, I believe). The full images are available in the appstore.

I remember there being a great Safari extension that blocked this behavior. I wish I knew of something that could do this after Apple nuked their entire ecosystem :(

Once they’ve been used?

I presume they would claim them with fake/fresh username/email info to get legitimate licenses/keys, then resell those after the fact.

Reminds me of customizing WindowMaker's dock with system monitor widgets[1]. I wonder how quickly (or if at all) the macOS dock responds to changes to an app's icon... [1] https://www.dockapps.net/category/system

Same thing I was going to post! I always loved those little widgets, especially the one with the rubber ducky. They just have this whimsical feeling modern desktops are lacking
