Yes. No account, no time limit, no speed throttle, no nag screens and no cap on bookmarks. It’s a complete FTP, FTPS and SFTP client with a private vault. Pro adds Finder mounts, cloud and object storage, sync and more, and you can try all of it free for 14 days, once.
Nothing stops working. Your license runs every version released during your update year, forever. If you want newer versions after that, renew updates for $15 a year. Renewing is optional, and early buyers keep that price as long as they renew without a gap.
A Pro license covers up to 3 Macs that you use yourself. You can move it from an old Mac to a new one from the app.
The direct version is a one-time license with the full feature set. The App Store version is a subscription ($19.99/year or $2.99/month) billed by Apple and runs in the App Store sandbox, which rules out a few advanced extras. They are separate purchases: one doesn’t unlock the other.
No, and nobody else can either. There is no account, no escrow and no copy of your keys anywhere but your Mac. During setup Wherry gives you a recovery key; keep it somewhere safe. Without the pattern, a passphrase or the recovery key, the files are gone by design.
A pattern on its own is a short secret, so Wherry doesn’t rely on it alone. Your key is also bound to this Mac’s Secure Enclave and stretched with Argon2id, so a stolen disk or backup can’t be guessed on someone else’s computer. Someone running code on your Mac could still try patterns one slow guess at a time. If that worries you, choose a passphrase instead: it’s offered at setup as the maximum-security option.
You can always unlock your vaults and export your files. We never hold your own data hostage.
Under Locations in the Finder sidebar, like iCloud Drive. macOS manages them through its File Provider system, so files download when you open them and changes upload in the background. They don’t appear in /Volumes.
No analytics unless you opt in. Passwords and keys live in your Keychain. When you send a problem report, you see exactly what’s included first, and passwords, keys and tokens are redacted before anything leaves your Mac.
