Every copy, one list
Three copies to three drives? Each gets its own row with a live bar and Finder’s own status line, so you always know which is which.

Without finding Finder.

The problem
Finder’s progress window has one job. Then you click away.
Start a big copy, switch to anything else, and that little window sinks behind your browser. Is it still going? Did it stall at 97%? Is it safe to unplug the drive? You end up hunting through windows just to find out.
Cartage keeps the answer in the one place you can always see: the menu bar.
What you get
Small app. Does one thing. Does it properly.
Your menu bar, your style
Show progress as a percentage, a slim bar or a ring. Running several? It shows the count and the average.
Tells you when it’s done
A quiet notice slides in under the icon when a copy starts and when it finishes. Walk away; it’ll let you know.
One-click cancel
Wrong folder? Stop any copy straight from the menu bar, without hunting for the Finder window first.
Out of the way when idle
Optionally hide the icon when nothing’s copying. It pops back the moment a transfer starts. Launches at login if you like.
Private by design
No account, no analytics, nothing uploaded. Cartage works entirely on your Mac and only goes online to check for updates and your licence.
Made for big moves
If you move a lot of files, you’ll wonder how you managed.

Questions
The honest FAQ.
How much is Cartage? Is it a subscription?
£9.99, one-time. No subscription, nothing to renew, and free updates for this major version. Taxes such as VAT are calculated at checkout depending on where you live, so the total you see there is the total you pay.
How does the free trial work?
Download Cartage and use every feature free for 7 days. No card, no account, no email address.
What happens when the 7-day trial ends?
Cartage keeps running, but progress is locked until you enter a licence key. Your files and Finder are untouched either way. Buy a key whenever you like and you’re back in one paste.
How do I get my licence key and activate it?
It arrives by email from Lemon Squeezy straight after checkout, and it’s in your order receipt too. Click the Cartage icon in your menu bar, then “Enter Key…” (after the trial ends the key box is right there in the menu), or open Settings → Licence. Paste it in and click Activate.
I’ve lost my licence key. Now what?
Look it up any time at app.lemonsqueezy.com/my-orders using the email address you paid with. Still stuck? Email support@flavrapps.com.
How many Macs can I use it on?
One licence covers up to 3 Macs.
I’m moving to a new Mac. How do I move my licence?
On the old Mac, go to Settings → Licence and click “Deactivate this Mac”, then enter the same key on the new one. Old Mac already gone? Email support@flavrapps.com and we’ll sort it.
Does it work with external drives and network copies?
Yes — anything Finder copies or moves: USB drives, SSDs, memory cards, network shares and NAS boxes, or just folder to folder on your Mac.
Does Cartage slow down my copies or change how Finder works?
No. You copy and move files in Finder exactly as you always have — Cartage just puts the progress where you can see it.
What do I need to run it? Is it on the Mac App Store?
macOS 14 Sonoma or later, on Apple silicon or Intel. It’s a direct download rather than an App Store app: signed, notarised, and it keeps itself up to date.
Does anything leave my Mac?
Nothing about your files. Cartage works offline, with no account and no analytics. It only goes online to check for updates and to validate your licence key — your files, their names and your transfers are never sent anywhere.
Can I get a refund?
You can try everything free for 7 days first, so purchases are generally final. A duplicate charge is always refunded, and if Cartage genuinely won’t work for you and we can’t fix it, talk to us — we’re reasonable. See the refund policy.
