What is a refund window?

A refund window is the number of days after a purchase during which you can ask for your money back. The seller sets it, so read it before you pay.

Why it matters

A free trial lets you test before paying. A refund window covers the case where you paid and then found the product did not suit you. A clear window, stated before you pay, tells you how long you have to decide.

NotchStar’s window

NotchStar has a 7 day refund window, the same length as the 7 day trial. To ask, write to hello@notchstar.com within 7 days of buying. Payments are handled by Dodo Payments, the merchant of record.

Limits

The pricing page says to write within 7 days of buying, so ask early. The license key is what the purchase gives you, and the refund text on the pricing page is the one that applies.

The price is a one time purchase of $4, up to three Macs. Prices as of 4 November 2026. See the best one time purchase notch apps for how others handle this.
