Buying, restoring, and canceling Premium

TimeBill Premium is an in-app purchase in the Mac App Store edition of TimeBill. It is billed through your App Store account, so buying, restoring, and canceling all work the way they do for any App Store purchase. (Setapp users: none of this applies to you; see TimeBill on Setapp.)

Buying Premium

1. Choose View > Upgrade to Premium... (Shift-Cmd-U). The same sheet also appears automatically whenever you hit a free-plan limit.
2. In the TimeBill Premium sheet, pick a plan: the one-time Lifetime purchase at the top, or a yearly or monthly plan below the or subscribe label.
3. Complete the purchase in the App Store dialog that appears.
4. The sheet closes automatically. All limits and the invoice watermark are removed immediately.

To leave without buying, click Maybe Later. Prices are shown directly in the sheet; the footer also links to the Terms of Use (EULA) and Privacy Policy.

Two things worth knowing before you choose:

• Once you own the Lifetime purchase, the subscription options are disabled: you cannot subscribe on top of a Lifetime license.
• If a purchase fails or you cancel the App Store dialog, the sheet simply closes without an error message. If you're unsure whether the purchase went through, check whether the free-plan limits and the watermark are gone, or open the sheet again and click Restore Purchase to re-check.

Restoring Premium on another Mac (or after reinstalling)

If you still see the watermark or free-plan limits on a Mac where you should have Premium:

1. Make sure the Mac is signed in to the same App Store account you used for the original purchase.
2. Choose View > Upgrade to Premium... (Shift-Cmd-U).
3. Click Restore Purchase at the bottom of the sheet.
4. Wait for the Restore Purchase alert. "Your purchase has been restored successfully!" means you're done; the sheet closes on its own shortly after. "No previous purchases found." means no TimeBill purchase is attached to the account currently signed in to the App Store; check the account and try again.

Restoring unlocks Premium, but it does not move your projects or invoices. Data transfer is a separate step, described in Backing up and moving to a new Mac.

Canceling a subscription

TimeBill has no in-app subscription management. The yearly and monthly plans are standard App Store auto-renewing subscriptions, so you cancel them in your App Store account's subscription settings, the same place you manage any other app subscription. Canceling stops the renewal; when the paid period ends, TimeBill returns to the free plan and its limits.

One caveat about the watermark

The watermark is baked into invoice PDFs at generation time. Upgrading removes it from every invoice you generate from now on, but invoices already sitting in the Invoice Vault keep their watermark. To get a clean copy of an existing invoice, re-generate it with the same invoice number (see Correcting and re-issuing an invoice).
