These terms cover your purchase and use of PXM and its account and licensing service. Our privacy notice describes personal information handling. Our refund policy forms part of these terms. Mandatory consumer rights continue to apply; these documents do not remove them.

PXM Free and Pro

PXM is a commercial local development application with Free and Pro features. PXM Free includes local sites, PHP, Node, Composer, local DNS and HTTPS, per-project runtime versions, SPX profiling, and Cloudflare sharing. Free does not require an account, license key, or payment and has no trial time limit.

A Pro license permits you to use PXM's Pro features on up to two personal computers. Pro includes managed services and databases, database adoption, local mail, Xdebug, dumps, Tinker, and project insights. You can remove a computer's Pro activation in your account and activate another computer within that limit. The two-computer activation limit applies to Pro. Permission to use Free or Pro does not transfer ownership of PXM's software or branding. Third-party components retain their own licenses and notices.

The current app is for macOS 14 or later on a supported Mac. Check the download page for the requirements of the version you are installing. A Windows release is planned but is not currently available, and no Windows release date is promised by this purchase.

Pro requires an account, an active Pro license, an internet connection for activation and periodic validation, and access to your account email. You can purchase Pro through Stripe Checkout before signing in. No Pro trial is included; Free remains available without Pro activation.

Plans, prices and payment

Both paid plans cover every PXM Pro feature and the same two-computer limit. Free features remain available without a paid plan. Prices are in US dollars. Applicable tax is added, and the total is shown in Stripe Checkout before you pay. Payment methods available for your transaction are shown there. PXM is delivered digitally; we do not add a shipping charge.

The annual plan provides licensed Pro access and app updates during the paid subscription period. Cancel future renewal through Account → Billing & invoices, or contact us if you cannot access the account. Cancellation by itself does not refund a payment. Unless a refund or payment reversal applies, access continues until the end of the period already paid for. The separate 14-day refund policy also applies to renewal payments.

The lifetime license has no scheduled end date and no recurring subscription charge. It remains subject to the device limit and periodic online validation described below. “Lifetime” does not mean that Pro works indefinitely without contacting its licensing service. Free features do not require license validation.

Stripe processes the payment and collects your checkout email. You do not need to sign in before purchasing. After Stripe confirms payment, we create or associate the purchase with the account for that email and send a secure sign-in link. Your Pro license appears in that account, where you can obtain the license key and manage devices. Download the app from the PXM website and activate Pro with that key. If a payment completes but the license does not appear, contact us with the account email and receipt reference; do not send a full payment-card number or license key.

Online validation and interrupted access

PXM normally refreshes an activated Pro license online about once a day. After a successful validation it can continue offline until its current signed authorization expires, for no more than seven days. The remaining time can be shorter, particularly near the end of an annual paid period. Both annual and lifetime plans use this validation process. A correct system date and time are required.

An unavailable licensing service or prolonged loss of connectivity can prevent continued Pro operation after the current authorization expires. Free features remain available. An expired subscription, a removed device, or a refunded, reversed or disputed payment can also interrupt access. A payment dispute may require review before access is restored. Contact us if you believe access was interrupted incorrectly.

When licensed Pro access ends, PXM blocks new Pro operations and stops the Pro services it manages. Local sites and the other Free features remain available. License expiry does not delete your project files or stored service data. The app's Access Your Data view lets you locate projects and service data and copy a stopped service's native data for recovery. Native database files need a compatible database engine and version; that copy is not a SQL dump. Keep your own backups, and allow active writes and shutdowns to finish before copying database files.

Your development environment

PXM works with software and data on your computer. You choose which projects, services and database connections to use. Review project changes, maintain backups and test copied databases before retiring an existing installation. PXM's managed-copy workflow creates an independent database copy; it does not make your original installation a PXM-owned data directory.

Cloudflare sharing is optional. When you start a public tunnel, your selected local site can be reachable by other people. Review its authentication, test accounts and data before sharing. A link or domain does not by itself restrict who can access the application. Stopping the tunnel ends that sharing session; closing a browser tab does not.

Runtimes, frameworks, databases, package registries and external sharing services have their own compatibility requirements and terms. PXM cannot promise that every third-party version, extension or project will work with every other component. Our local development tools are not a managed production hosting or backup service.

Help and changes

Contact hello@getpxm.com for purchase, activation, refund or technical help. Include the app and macOS versions and a description of the problem. Do not include passwords, license keys, customer database records or other private project content unless a specific support exchange calls for it and you choose to provide it.

We will identify the effective date of a published terms version and make material changes clear before they apply. Changes do not retrospectively remove rights attached to a completed purchase. Any guarantees, remedies or protections required by applicable law remain available.
