Kepter on a second Mac

Checked against macOS 26 · October 2026

Your subscription covers the Macs you own and use yourself, so a desktop and a laptop is one plan, not two.

  1. Install Kepter on the second Mac the usual way, and choose which folders to watch when it asks.
  2. On your first Mac, open Kepter’s Settings, choose Storage & Plan, and click Copy next to Kepter Code.
  3. On the second Mac, open Kepter’s Settings, choose Storage & Plan, paste the code under Restore Purchases, and click Restore.

There’s no sign-in, so the code is the only thing you enter. Kepter doesn’t carry it to your other Macs, through iCloud or any other way, so you paste it yourself. At first run, you can click Restore under “Already have Kepter?” and paste the code in the box that appears. If Kepter shows “Free trial over”, click the K in the menu bar and choose Settings… to reach Storage & Plan. Keep a copy with your receipts. If Restore says no purchase was found on that code, check it against Storage & Plan on your first Mac, or email support@kepter.app with the code and the email you used to pay.

One honest note: each Mac has its own library. Kepter on your laptop reads the laptop’s folders, Kepter on your desktop reads the desktop’s. They do not talk to each other, and they will not: Kepter reads your things where they sit and never copies them anywhere, which is the same reason your files never leave the Mac they are on.

Still stuck? Email support@kepter.app. We read and reply to every message.
