One transform — pressing Enter once in the panel. Retries, Longer and Shorter each count as one. A rewrite with a screenshot attached counts as 3 runs. Runs only count on Recast Cloud; your own key and local models are never metered.
Can I buy more runs without subscribing?
Yes — a one-off pack of 1,000 Cloud runs for $2, on any plan (the App Store price can differ slightly). Buy it from your account page; pack runs are spent after your monthly allowance and don't expire.
Do I need an account?
No. Recast works fully without one. An account is only for Recast Cloud, submitting templates to the market, and linking the app on your Mac.
Does bring-your-own-key stay free?
Yes, forever. Free means free — every feature works with your own API key or a local model like Ollama or LM Studio, unlimited.
Can I cancel any time?
Yes, in one click from Manage billing. You keep Pro until the end of what you've paid for, then drop back to Free — nothing is lost.
What about refunds?
Cancelling stops the renewal and your plan keeps working until the paid period ends. We don't refund partial periods except where the law requires it. App Store purchases follow Apple's refund process (Report a Problem).
