Free and Pro

What's free, what the one-time Pro unlock adds on iPhone and iPad, and how the Mac app fits in.

Verified for version 1.0.1 · Updated October 17, 2026

Leganote is free to download on iPhone and iPad. Leganote Pro is one purchase, $5.99 in the US (the App Store shows your local price), with no subscription, no trial and no account. It unlocks Pro on every iPhone and iPad signed in to your Apple Account, and with Family Sharing, for your family too.

Most things that need Pro show a small PRO mark or a lock. Reaching for one opens Unlock Leganote Pro, which says what you ran into, lists what Pro adds and has the price and Restore Purchase. You can also unlock from Settings ▸ Pro.

Restore purchases

Pro belongs to your Apple Account, not to a Leganote account (there isn't one). On a new iPhone or iPad, or after reinstalling, open Settings and tap Restore Purchases, signed in with the same Apple Account. Status reads Active when it's back.

Ask to Buy

If the button says Waiting for approval, the purchase is waiting for your family organizer. You can close the screen and keep going: Pro switches on by itself once they approve.

The Mac app

Leganote for Mac is a separate app, $5.99 up front with everything included and no song limit. It's a purchase of its own: buying Pro on iPhone doesn't unlock the Mac app, and the Mac app doesn't unlock Pro on iPhone. Your library is shared between them through iCloud Drive either way. See Leganote on the Mac.
