There’s an impressive set of features that seem to be very easy to use. It’s much better than the command-line or Electron, but it’s a SwiftUI app and various things look and feel a little off. There’s no File menu. The Settings window and sheets are scrollable but can’t be resized.

The core functionality is free. Paying €9.99 unlocks a long list of Pro features: bulk operations, favorites, tags, history, a menu bar icon, background updates, import/export, and managing apps that were directly downloaded, purchased from the Mac App Store, and that update via Sparkle.
