Usage, in the open

Every Mac that lit the lantern.

These numbers come from the same anonymous launch ping described in the privacy policy: a few booleans and a version string, no identifiers, nothing that ties a count to a person. Here is all of it.

— total installs
— unlocked Pro, of the Macs active this month

Daily active Macs

A Mac counts once on the first launch of each UTC day, in the free lane or the unlocked one. Last 30 days.

unlocked free

— today, both lanes · peak — in the window

Monthly active Macs

Counted once per Mac per calendar month, stacked free below unlocked. Up to the last 12 months.

unlocked free

Version split

Which build the active Macs are running, this month.

Profiles per Mac

How many SSO profiles the active Macs have configured, this month. Two are free, forever.

A coarse bucket, never a raw count. Profile names, account IDs, and regions stay on your Mac.

macOS split

Which macOS the active Macs are running, this month.

What these numbers are, and are not.

  • There is no identifier at all, on any path. No device ID, no hardware hash, no salted hash, no account, no cookie — Orthanc has nothing of the kind to send, so no request it makes carries one. That is not a promise about how we use an identifier; there isn't one. The privacy policy says the same thing, in full.
  • Aggregate counters only. Each figure is a single number in a table that goes up by one. There is no row per Mac and no way to go from a count back to a device or a person — which is also why nothing here can be broken down further than you see it.
  • Client-side deduplication. Your Mac decides whether a launch is the first today or this month and sends a boolean. The server just adds it up.
  • Unlocking Pro is verified on your Mac. Receipts and license keys never reach a server of ours. free and full below are the app reporting which lane it is in, one bit wide, with nothing attached to it.
  • Counted per Mac, not per person. Two Macs count twice, and the conversion rate is “Macs seen unlocked this month” ÷ “Macs seen at all this month”. A Mac that buys and never launches again is not counted until it does, so the rate undercounts — never the reverse.
  • Opt-out, in the app. Settings has a switch that turns the launch ping off entirely. Turn it off and this page simply stops hearing from your Mac. Privacy-minded users are therefore underrepresented in every number here.
