Frequently Asked Questions

Backspace is compatible with macOS 14+ (Sonoma and newer).

No. Backspace is developed by independent creators. We are not affiliated with Apple Inc. Any references to macOS features are purely for descriptive and comparative purposes.

You receive a one-time purchase for a perpetual (lifetime) license. This license is non-exclusive and intended for personal use on a single Mac. If you switch to a new Mac, your license is fully transferable — simply contact support and we'll move it over for you.

It means the license grants you the right to use the Software indefinitely, and it includes all future updates for the current major version of the software. "Lifetime" refers to the supported life of the Software product.

Your license permits the Software to be actively used on one device at a time.

Activation sends a one-way hash of your License ID and a non-personal Hardware ID to our server. This creates a secure lock between your key and your Mac. No personal data, location, or usage statistics are ever transmitted.

Your license is technically bound to your Mac's hardware ID for security, but it is fully transferable. If you upgrade to a new Mac or have your logic board replaced, you do not need to buy a new license. Simply contact support to reset your key.

No. Backspace does not collect or transmit usage data, telemetry, or analytics related to your activities within the App. The only data we collect are the identifiers (License ID and Device ID) strictly necessary for license management.

We offer a 14-day money-back guarantee on all purchases. If you are not satisfied, you can request a full refund within 14 days from the date of purchase — no questions asked. Any refunded purchase will result in the immediate and permanent deactivation of your license.

For refunds, technical assistance, or billing inquiries, please contact us directly: support@dynamichorizon.app or visit our support page.
