A6 Questions
Good to know.
01 Is this legal?
Cratebox is a general-purpose downloader. Downloading content you own, have rights to, or that is licensed for download is fine; respecting copyright and YouTube’s terms is your responsibility. We don’t host or distribute any content.
02 Is there a free trial?
Yes — Cratebox includes a 14-day free trial with full download access, no card required. When the trial ends, search, history, and settings keep working; downloading needs a license.
03 What do I get for €24.99?
A perpetual license to Cratebox plus a full year of updates. The app keeps working forever; renew to keep receiving new versions.
04 What happens when my year ends?
Nothing breaks. Your installed version keeps working with all its features. Renewing simply re-opens the updates window for another year.
05 Which Macs are supported?
macOS on Apple Silicon (M1 and newer). The app is signed and notarized by Apple, so it opens without Gatekeeper warnings.
06 Do you offer refunds?
Yes — if Cratebox isn’t for you, reach out and we’ll sort it out.
07 Do I need to install yt-dlp or ffmpeg?
No. Cratebox manages those for you — no terminal, no manual setup.
