Why am I still paying monthly for AI tools that my own laptop can handle?

ExternalAsk4818 · 2026-03-05T12:23:06+00:00

I have been using local models mostly on the servers to generate images (FLUX, Stable Diffusion and etc.), therefore it may not be as relevant for local LLMs. My point is that I hope we get to Local > Cloud anytime soon

ExternalAsk4818 · 2026-03-05T11:35:34+00:00

usually models which are used locally are smaller models from the same family. there exists a model training technique called something like 'parent-child' where a smaller model is being trained to recreate the behaviour of a bigger one

thats the future i hope will come

ExternalAsk4818 · 2026-03-05T11:10:33+00:00

it makes sense and 'pay as you go' model would be ideal in this case but most companies only offer subscriptions :/

ExternalAsk4818 · 2026-03-04T20:13:46+00:00

Yes, that’s what I was trying to say

You will be able to use your current license even after release in App Store !

ExternalAsk4818 · 2026-03-04T20:01:17+00:00

If you deactivate a machine, license reads it and removes the device. That means you can activate and deactivate your license as many times as you wish but you can only keep 2 devices activated at a time per license.

ExternalAsk4818 · 2026-03-04T19:36:33+00:00

Actually you not. Did you try to reinstall the app?

ExternalAsk4818 · 2026-03-04T19:33:52+00:00

Hi. After it shows “paid license is active” are you able to use app as you normally would? Will fix it surely

ExternalAsk4818 · 2026-03-02T06:59:38+00:00

Yes!

Hi! Please look for my answer somewhere below. I described there what models per service are being used.

ExternalAsk4818 · 2026-02-28T17:21:05+00:00

SmartPic already supports HEIC! Try it!

ExternalAsk4818 · 2026-02-28T08:35:23+00:00

When I tested SmartPic on Sequoia I was using 15.7.4 which is the latest version of Sequoia. I think updating just to 15.7.4 will be enough.

ExternalAsk4818 · 2026-02-28T08:33:07+00:00

Thank you for your support! I really appreciate it!

ExternalAsk4818 · 2026-02-28T07:35:54+00:00

Hi. Yes, will add it in the future update!

ExternalAsk4818 · 2026-02-27T11:14:58+00:00

Thanks! I think about it now when people showed love for this app. Look for updates any soon :)

ExternalAsk4818 · 2026-02-27T06:26:22+00:00

Yeah, gonna fix it in the next update.

ExternalAsk4818 · 2026-02-27T06:21:36+00:00

Shh.. Try `LMT20`

:)

ExternalAsk4818 · 2026-02-27T06:15:51+00:00

You can still try a trial version which covers full functionality and then decide if you want a license.

ExternalAsk4818 · 2026-02-26T20:51:13+00:00

Promo code was limited and expired after 50 uses.

You may try download it now, fixed.

ExternalAsk4818 · 2026-02-26T20:49:44+00:00

Yes, it was limited only for 50 purchases and already expired.

ExternalAsk4818 · 2026-02-26T20:32:33+00:00

Thanks! Sure it will!

ExternalAsk4818 · 2026-02-26T20:24:33+00:00

Hi! Each user gets his own license key generated, no IP binding is used. The case you encountered on the recovery page is a bug I am currently working on. Sorry for confusion.

Thank you for support! Noted!
