A software license manager for Mac — without the subscription
Mac has a few license managers, but they're either paid up front or lock you into a subscription. Lycense keeps every license key in one encrypted vault, reminds you before subscriptions renew, and shows your total spend — free, with an optional one-time $4.99 upgrade for Touch ID. It runs on Windows too.
