Answers to common questions are below. If yours isn’t, email help@fitztoppicks.com with your Mac model and macOS version.

Using Tickwright

How do I make a task?

Click New Task (⌘N), give it a name, pick when it runs and what it does, then Save. Tickwright writes a plain launchd plist in ~/Library/LaunchAgents and loads it.

My task didn't run.

Select it and open Why Didn't It Run?. It checks the usual reasons (turned off, not loaded, a plist error, a missing or non-executable script, ~ in a path, a file on an external drive) and offers a fix where it can. History shows skipped runs and their reason, such as "on battery".

Wake, network or idle tasks don't start.

Those need Tickwright Agent: open Agent & Settings and click Turn Agent On. If macOS asks, switch Tickwright on in System Settings › General › Login Items & Extensions.

Tickwright license

Is there a free trial?

Yes: every feature for 7 days from the first time you open it. After that, a one-time license key from Gumroad keeps making and editing tasks on up to 3 Macs, with no subscription.

What happens to my tasks if I don't buy?

Nothing: they keep running on their schedules, because they're plain launchd jobs. You can still see them and their history, run them now, turn them off or on, delete, restore and export them. Only making, editing and importing tasks needs a key.

Where do I enter my license key?

Choose License… from the Tickwright menu (or License in the window's sidebar), paste the key from your Gumroad receipt and click Activate.

How do I get updates?

Tickwright checks for updates on its own; you can also choose Check for Updates… from its menu. Updates are free.

Purchases

How do I get a refund?

Gumroad handles payment. Reply to your Gumroad receipt or email help@fitztoppicks.com.

Do I have to pay again on another Mac?

No. One license key works on up to 3 of your Macs. Download the app again from your Gumroad receipt or library and enter the same key.
