Getting started

Licence and updates

Your licence key looks like ETS-7K4Q-M2XP-9WDF-ABCD. It's the only thing that proves you bought the app. There's no account or password.

What a licence includes

  • The app, for as long as you want to use it
  • Every update released in the 12 months after you buy
  • Use on up to 3 devices at a time

When the update period ends, the app keeps working exactly as it is. Renewing ($12) adds another 12 months of updates to the same key. It's never automatic.

Activating

Your protocol (injections, orals and supplements) works without a key. To unlock training, blood tests and health, tap Enter licence key on any of those screens, or go to Setup → App settings → Licence. The app checks the key online once, then stores a signed token so it works offline. It checks in every few days in the background, and if it can't reach us it simply tries later. Being offline never locks you out.

If a key is revoked, or you remove a phone from your licence, that phone's training, blood test and health screens lock at its next check-in. Its data stays on the phone.

Updating the app

The licensed app checks for new versions about twice a day. When one is out, a banner appears at the top of the app: tap View (or go to Setup → App settings → App updates), then Download and install.

  • The update downloads inside the app and is checked against the fingerprint we published before anything is installed.
  • The first time, Android asks you to allow installs from this app: tap Allow, switch on Allow from this source, then come back. You only do this once.
  • Android then asks you to confirm the update. It installs over the top: your data, settings and licence stay exactly as they are.
  • Updates marked security update can't be hidden. Install those soon.

If your update period has ended, the app says so and keeps working as it is. Renew to get the newer version. You can always download the latest version from the download page instead.

The free edition doesn't update itself. Get new versions from its GitHub page.

Managing devices

Open My licence and enter your key to see which devices use it. Tap Remove next to an old phone to free the slot. You can also do this in the app under Setup → App settings → Licence.

Lost your key?

  • The page you saw after paying shows it for 2 days.
  • In the app: Setup → App settings → Licence, tap Show.
  • Otherwise email [email protected] with the BTCPay invoice number or the transaction ID, and we'll look it up.

Important: treat the key like a password. Anyone who has it can use one of your device slots.

Buy a licence

You'll pay on the next page. Your licence key appears as soon as the payment goes through.

Used only for BTCPay's payment notice, and to help find your order if you need support. Your licence key isn't emailed: copy it from the page when it appears.
