Lycense vs the alternatives

License managers on Mac & Windows

The established license managers mostly stop at Apple devices, and the one that doesn't treats a license like a static note. Lycense is built for this one job on both platforms.

App	Platforms	Renewal reminders	Spend view	Price
LicenseManagerPro	Mac / iPad only	Limited	Yes	Paid
Acana	Mac only	No	Charts	Paid
LicenseKeeper	Mac only (discontinued)	Limited	—	—
1Password	Windows + Mac	No	No	$36/yr
Lycense	Windows + Mac	Yes	Yes	Free

Switching from 1Password. 1Password stores license keys, but with no reminder before a subscription renews and no view of what you spend. Moving over is quick: export your entries to CSV from 1Password and import them into Lycense in a few clicks.

Migrating from LicenseKeeper. LicenseKeeper served Mac users well for years but is no longer actively developed. Export your LicenseKeeper library to CSV and import it into Lycense: your keys, product names, and notes come across in a few clicks, and you gain a maintained replacement that also runs on Windows.

Subscription tracking: why Windows users end up in spreadsheets

Polished subscription trackers like Bobby never shipped a Windows app (they're iOS-only), so there's no obvious place for Windows users to keep renewal dates and costs, and a spreadsheet becomes the default. Lycense fills that gap natively on Windows and Mac:

	Spreadsheet	Bobby	Lycense
Windows	Yes	No (iOS only)	Yes
Renewal reminders	Manual	Yes	Yes
Spend total	Manual	Yes	Yes
Encrypted vault	No	—	Yes
