Activate your license

Cozy is a one-time $35 purchase, with no subscription. One license covers every Mac and Windows PC you own.

Where to buy

Section titled “Where to buy”

If you don’t have a key yet, you can buy one from the pricing section on the homepage. Checkout is handled securely through Polar, and your key is emailed to you right after.

Entering your key

Section titled “Entering your key”
  1. Open Cozy. The welcome screen asks for your license key the first time you launch it.
  2. Paste the key from your purchase email.
  3. That’s it — you’re ready to start writing.

The welcome screen also has a link to buy a key if you need one, and a link to recover a key you’ve misplaced.

Lost your key?

Section titled “Lost your key?”

Use the recover a key link on the welcome screen. Enter the email you bought with and your key will be sent back to you.

Do I pay for updates?

Section titled “Do I pay for updates?”

No. You’re buying Cozy 1.0, and every update to it is free. Much further down the line there may be a larger paid version (Cozy 2.0, then 3.0) as an optional upgrade at around half the price of a new license. But if you’re happy with what you have, you never have to upgrade, and your Cozy keeps working.

What about mobile?

Section titled “What about mobile?”

The mobile app for iPhone and Android is sold separately on the App Store and Google Play as a one-time $12 purchase, bought through the store, not unlocked by your desktop license. The two read the same journal folder, so they stay in step through whatever sync service you use.
