* About AI: Pro's AI features run on your device and require a supported iPhone and a downloaded local model. Availability depends on device capability and setup. Your task text is not sent to a hosted AI service for these features.
Both plans are ad-free. Core tasks, goals, focus sessions, and undo do not have a subscription usage cap. Import limits and device requirements still apply.
A few useful details
Before you decide.
Can I keep using Darwin for free?
Yes. Free is an ongoing plan. You can keep capturing tasks, comparing priorities, organizing goals, and using Focus without subscribing. Pro is optional.
Do monthly, annual, and lifetime include the same features?
Yes. All three unlock Darwin Pro. Monthly and annual are recurring subscriptions. Lifetime is a one-time purchase with no recurring subscription payment. Device requirements for AI apply to every Pro plan.
How do I upgrade, cancel, or restore a purchase?
Open Darwin's Settings and choose Darwin Pro to review the available plans. Apple handles payment. Monthly and annual subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period. Manage or cancel them in your Apple account's Subscriptions settings.
To recover an existing purchase, use Restore Purchases in Darwin with the Apple account used to buy it. For help with access after restoring, visit Support.
Is there a free trial or special offer?
Any eligible trial or promotional offer is shown inside Darwin and on the Apple purchase sheet, including its duration and what you will be charged afterward. Availability can vary by account and region. You can use Darwin Free without accepting a trial.
What happens if I stop subscribing?
You retain Pro until the end of the paid subscription period. Afterward, you can keep using the Free features. You do not need Pro to keep creating tasks or goals, ranking your list, or using the focus timer.
Where can I check the latest price?
The prices above reflect the U.S. App Store on the date shown. Open Darwin Pro in the app for your current local price, available plans, and eligible offers. The Apple purchase sheet confirms the amount and billing terms before you buy. You can also check the U.S. App Store listing.
