Essentials uses Apple's iCloud key-value storage under your Apple Account. The developer cannot read it and operates no sync backend. It works across Macs signed into the same Apple Account. Sync is enabled by default; turn it off in Settings to keep Essentials data on one Mac only.
No subscription, no upsell, no in-app purchases. Buy once, use on every Mac you own.
