Arrange for Mac

Questions, answered.

Everything people usually ask before they try Arrange. For step-by-step help, see the docs.

Trying and buying

Is it really free to try?

Yes. Download Arrange, plug in your device, and rearrange as much as you like. You can also open a sample iPad or iPhone without plugging anything in. You only need a key when you press Apply.

Is it a subscription?

No. Arrange costs $4.99 once. There is nothing to renew.

Do I pay again for my iPad?

No. A key is for one Mac, and it works with every iPad and iPhone you plug into that Mac.

Can I use my key on more than one Mac?

Each key is for one Mac. If you arrange devices from two Macs, you’ll need a key for each.

How do I buy a key?

When you’re ready to apply, click Buy / Enter key in the app, buy a key, and paste it in from your purchase email.

Safety

Could it mess up my Home Screen?

Nothing changes until you press Apply. Arrange saves a backup first, and you can restore any backup later if you change your mind.

Will taking apps off my Home Screen delete them?

No. They stay installed and wait for you in the App Library.

Do I need an account?

No. Arrange has no account and no server. It talks to your device directly over USB.

How it works

What do I need?

A Mac running macOS 12 Monterey or later, your iPhone or iPad, and a cable to connect them. Arrange works over USB.

Which version of macOS do I need?

macOS 12 Monterey or later.

Does it work with iPad and iPhone?

Yes. Arrange detects which device is plugged in and shows its real grid: 6 × 5 pages on iPad, and 4 × 6 pages with a 4-app Dock on iPhone.

Is this like the old iTunes app arranging?

That’s the idea. You arrange your Home Screen on your computer and send it to your device. Arrange adds things iTunes never had, like moving many apps at once, sorting A–Z, and a backup before every change.

Why does my device ask me to trust my Mac?

It’s a normal iOS prompt the first time a device connects to a computer. Tap Trust on your device so Arrange can read and update your Home Screen.

Can I try it without plugging in my phone?

Yes. Open a sample iPad or iPhone in Arrange and try every feature.

Get your Home Screen back in order.

Try it free. Pay $4.99 once, only when you apply, and use it with every iPhone and iPad you plug into your Mac.
