Is Cupertino Lens for Mac free?
Yes. The beta is free, with no account, no ads and no tracking.
Which Macs does it run on?

Where do the stories come from?
From the sites that cover Apple, and from Apple itself: Newsroom, developer news, support notes and its servers. Every story links to the original.
How do updates work?
The app updates itself. New builds download in the background and install the next time you quit, and the first launch after shows what changed.
Is there an iPhone app?
