Sold by High5 Labs LLC through Paddle.
What you get for it
A license key that arrives by email and is checked on your Mac with no network call. Paste it in once. It keeps working whether or not this site is still here, whether or not a subscription lapsed somewhere else, and whether or not you are online.
What happens when version 2 arrives
Your key keeps working on the version you bought, for as long as macOS runs it. A major version is a separate, cheaper upgrade, and there is no plan to make one every year.
If it is not for you
Thirty days, no questions asked. Write to support@expando.app or ask Paddle, who processed the payment. Your snippets stay readable on disk and exportable either way.

Expando is finished enough to use and not finished enough to sell. Leave an address and you get the signed beta build before anybody else, and a launch price only this list gets. We'll email you when it opens.
