How it works

How My Dock Buddies plans and buddy unlocks work

Max typing on a laptop at a small desk

One place to choose your characters. One library to keep them together. Then you download the Mac app from your library, sign in, and your buddies come to life on your Dock.

Start with one buddy

Pick a plan, then the buddies you want: Max or Avery today. Monthly is $5.99 a month, Annual is $69 a year and Lifetime is $200 once and never renews. No plan includes a buddy, so on every plan you buy each one you want. Every buddy is $49.50 once until 13 October 2026, then $99, shown separately from the plan price before you pay. The $99 standard price is a future price, not a price previously charged.

Your buddies unlock once payment is confirmed

You pay on our payment partner’s secure checkout page, where you can also enter a coupon code. As soon as the payment goes through, your characters appear in your library, usually within seconds.

What you get today

You sign in with a 6-digit code or a link sent to your email, pay on a secure checkout and see your characters and receipts in your library. With an active plan, your library also has the Mac app download. Sign in to the app with the same email, and the buddies you paid for download onto your Mac.

New activities keep arriving

We add new activities to the characters regularly, and we ask members what they would like to see next. Members get all of it as part of their plan, with nothing extra to buy.

What happens at the end of a plan

Your characters stay with you while your plan is active. Turning off renewal in your library keeps everything until the end of the time you paid for, and you are not charged again. Lifetime never renews and never expires. Purchases are final; the refund policy lists the few billing mistakes we always put right.
