Trial, purchase and Lyra Cloud

Lyra is a one-time purchase. Lyra Cloud is an optional subscription on top. Your account keeps track of both.

The free trial

New accounts get 7 days of the full app, everything that runs on your Mac, with no card needed. When it ends, the Refine marker says “Your Lyra trial has ended. Press Tab to keep using Lyra.” Press Tab to buy, or pick a plan from the menu bar panel.

Buying Lyra

Lyra is a one-time purchase: pay once and every on-device feature is yours for good. Current price on the pricing page.

Your purchase belongs to the account you signed in with, so there's no licence key to keep safe.

Lyra Cloud

Lyra Cloud is an optional subscription, $9.99 a month or $99.99 a year. It adds:

The subscription includes the app itself for as long as you're subscribed, so you don't need to buy both. Cloud has an on/off switch in Settings, so you can keep everything on your Mac whenever you like. Exactly what Lyra Cloud sends, and what it doesn't keep.

If you subscribed to Lyra Pro before Lyra became a one-time purchase, you keep the app for life, even after your subscription ends.

Manage or cancel your subscription

Open Settings → Account → Manage subscription. That opens our payment provider, Stripe, where you can change your card, download invoices or cancel.

Using Lyra on another Mac

Install Lyra on the other Mac and sign in with the same Google or Apple account. Your purchase or subscription comes with you. There's no restore button because there's nothing to restore: signing in is enough. Lyra for Windows and the iPhone keyboard will use the same account when they launch.

Your writing, dictionary and settings don't sync between Macs. They stay on the Mac where you created them.

Working offline

A one-time purchase never needs to check in. A subscription keeps working offline for up to 7 days, then asks to connect once so Lyra can confirm it.

Refunds

14 days on the one-time purchase, 30 days on Lyra Cloud. Email founder@heylyra.co.uk from your account's email address. Full details in the Terms.

Signing out and deleting your account

Settings → Account → Sign out signs you out of this Mac. To delete your account and the account data we hold, email founder@heylyra.co.uk. Cancel any subscription first.
