License & Activation

Use the free tier, or activate PRO to unlock the full suite.

Free tier

Everyday capture is free: the full protocol pipeline, SSL decoding, filtering, search, pinning, and content viewers, with 30-minute capture sessions (click "Restart Session" to continue).

PRO

PRO removes the session limit and unlocks Breakpoints, Rewrite Rules, Map Local/Remote, Compose & Repeat, JavaScript scripting, Security Mode, Waterfall view, session save/load, MCP, Reverse and Upstream Proxy, and export/code-gen tools. Pricing: $69 once for up to 3 of your Macs, every future version included, no renewal. Teams and companies: $49 per seat per year commercial licensing.

Activate a license

  1. Buy from the pricing page; you'll receive a license key by email.
  2. Open MinPin → Preferences → License.
  3. Paste the key and click Activate License. Commercial licenses also ask for your name or work email, which takes a seat. PRO features light up immediately, with no relaunch.

Moving to another Mac

A Personal license works on up to 3 Macs at a time. Click Deactivate This Mac on the License tab to free a place, or remove a Mac you no longer have from the management link in your license email. A Mac removed there can't activate the license again unless you click Allow again. If your key was shared or leaked, use Replace license key on that page: the old key stops working everywhere at its next check-in and a new one is emailed to you. A Commercial seat is one person on up to 3 Macs; free a seat from the same management page.

NoteActivating needs an internet connection once. After that MinPin checks in when it starts and about once a day, and keeps working offline for up to 60 days between check-ins.
