Account and purchase settings
The last pane of the Settings window is named Account in the direct download and Purchase in the Mac App Store build. It shows whether Solidly is in its free trial or has been bought, and it holds the privacy settings. In the direct download it also manages the Solidly account signed in on this Mac. Free trial and purchase describes the trial and the purchase in full.
Trial and purchase status
The top of the pane shows one of three rows.
| Row | When it is shown | Actions |
|---|---|---|
| Solidly Free Trial | The trial is running. The row states the date on which the trial ends and the number of days remaining. | Buy |
| Solidly Standard | Solidly has been bought. The row states whether it was purchased with your Solidly account or through the App Store. | None |
| Get Solidly | The trial has ended, or no trial has been started, and Solidly has not been bought. | Buy, and Check Again or Restore Purchases |
In the direct download, Buy opens the purchase page on app.solidly.dev. Check Again asks the account service whether the account signed in on this Mac owns Solidly, and it is shown only while an account is signed in.
In the Mac App Store build, the Buy button shows the price from the App Store and opens the App Store purchase sheet. Restore Purchases asks the App Store to deliver the purchases made with your Apple Account again. If the App Store cannot be reached, the button reads Try Again.
Any problem confirming the trial or the purchase is reported in a note beneath the row.
Account
This section is present in the direct download only.
| Control | Action |
|---|---|
| Sign In | Shown while no account is signed in. Opens app.solidly.dev in the browser, where you can sign in or create an account. |
| Manage Account | Shown while an account is signed in, beside its name and email address. Opens the account page on app.solidly.dev. |
| Sign Out of This Mac | Signs the account out of this Mac. Solidly is then locked until an account signs in, and the next account to sign in goes through the setup again. |
| Delete Account | Opens app.solidly.dev to confirm the deletion of the account. |
Deleting an account takes effect seven days after it is confirmed on app.solidly.dev, and signing in before then cancels it. While a deletion is pending, the section states that the account is scheduled for deletion and does not offer Delete Account again.
The row at the bottom of the main window's sidebar shows the name of the signed-in account and opens this pane.
Privacy
| Setting | Default |
|---|---|
| Share Anonymous Usage Data | Off |
| Send Crash Reports | Off |
Share Anonymous Usage Data sends information about the file formats you open, the panels and tools you use, how long models take to load, and the Mac model and macOS version. It never includes models, file names, folder paths, textures, or anything stored inside a file. Send Crash Reports sends a report when Solidly quits unexpectedly or cannot open a model, with file names, folder paths, and material names replaced. Both settings are also offered during setup. The Privacy Policy describes the data each one sends.
Beneath the switches, Privacy Policy and Terms of Use open those documents on solidly.dev, and License Agreement opens the copy of the License Agreement that shipped with this version of Solidly.
