ShowglassFree and Pro
Every file, in full.
Showglass is a free download, and so are the previews for code, config and Markdown. Showglass Pro is an in-app purchase that turns on the rich views for everything else. You pay once, and it’s yours on every Mac signed in with your Apple Account.
Coming soon to the Mac App Store

Questions about Pro
How do I restore Pro on a new Mac?
Open Showglass, choose Settings › Pro, then Restore Purchases, signed in with the same Apple Account. There is no further charge.
Is there a trial?
The free previews are the way to try Showglass. Without Pro, every Pro type still opens in a plain view, so nothing looks worse than it did before you installed it.
Will something free become Pro later?
No. We won't move a kind of file from Free to Pro after you have been using it.
How do I get a refund?
Apple takes the payment and decides refunds. Ask at reportaproblem.apple.com or through the App Store.
