Most answers are in the Dateline Manual. If yours isn't, send me a message and I'll answer by email.

The free trial

Dateline is free to try for 7 days. When the trial ends, your calendar stays there to look at, but adding and changing events needs the one-time unlock ($29.99). There is no subscription.

One purchase for Mac and iPhone

Buy once, on either device. If your Mac and iPhone use the same Apple Account with iCloud turned on, the unlock reaches the other device by itself.

Restore your purchase

• iPhone: open Dateline's Settings, tap the top row (it shows your trial or purchase), then tap Restore purchase. Use the same Apple Account you bought with.
• Mac: enter the key from your purchase email in Dateline's Settings. If you bought on iPhone, sign in to the same Apple Account with iCloud on, and the Mac unlocks by itself.

Refunds

A purchase made in the iPhone app is refunded by Apple. Ask at reportaproblem.apple.com. For a purchase on the Mac, see the Terms of Service.

What you need

An iPhone with iOS 17 or newer, or a Mac with macOS 14 (Sonoma) or newer.

Your privacy

Dateline has no account, no server and no tracking. The details are in the Privacy Policy.
