Getting Started
First Run & License Activation
Install MagiaCap, start your free trial, or activate with a license key.
MagiaCap is available two ways: directly from the MagiaCap website (a DMG you drag into Applications), or from the Mac App Store. Both need macOS on Apple Silicon.
Direct (from the website)
- 1Open the DMG and drag MagiaCap into Applications.
- 2Launch MagiaCap — right-click → Open the first time to bypass Gatekeeper if needed.
- 3Choose to start the free 7-day trial or activate with your license key.
- 4Your key arrives by email after purchase on Payhip — enter it in Settings → License, or click Activate on the dashboard banner.
Mac App Store
- 1Download MagiaCap from the Mac App Store.
- 2Open it — your purchase is recognized automatically, no key or trial needed.
On the direct version you can activate at any time. Expired trials switch the app to read-only until a license is added. The trial gives full features, no credit card required, and the dashboard shows days left.
In-app: open MagiaCap → Help → MagiaCap Help. All docs
