Frequently asked questions
The questions we hear most before people buy. Anything else? Write to info@flate.co.kr.
What can I use for free?
Every capture and editing feature is free, with no time limit: area, window and pinned-area capture, the capture editor and background decoration, text and color extraction, drawing on screen, the quickslot wheel and freeze screen. A Pro license unlocks screen recording and the video editor.
Is it a subscription? How much does it cost?
No subscription. Pro is a lifetime license you pay for once — $14.99 — so you're never charged again, and future updates are included at no extra cost. Tax may be added depending on where you live.
How many computers can I use one license on?
One. When you switch computers, deactivate the license in the old computer's settings and activate the same key on the new one. If you can no longer use the old computer, just email us.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. Within 14 days of purchase you get a full refund, no questions asked — even if you've already activated the license. Email info@flate.co.kr with your order number or the email you paid with. The free features keep working after a refund.
Where are my captures and recordings stored?
Everything is made and saved on your own computer and never sent anywhere. There's no account or sign-in, and no usage statistics are collected. The app only goes online to check for updates and verify your license.
What do I need, and how do I install it?
A Mac running macOS 14 or later, Apple Silicon or Intel. Download it from this page and move it to your Applications folder, or install it with Homebrew. A Windows version is in the works.
