FAQ

Pricing

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's nothing to renew.

Do I pay again for my iPad?

No. One key covers every iPhone and iPad you use with your Mac.

Can I use one key on two Macs?

A key works on one Mac at a time. You can move it to a new Mac whenever you like, or buy a second key to use Arrange on two Macs at once.

Do I need an account?

No. Arrange has no account and no server. It talks to your device directly over USB. Purchases are handled by Polar, which emails you your key.

How do I buy a key?

Click Buy / Enter key in the app, then Buy a license. Paste the key from your purchase email and click Activate. See Pricing and your key.

Safety

Could it mess up my Home Screen?

Nothing changes until you press Apply. Arrange saves a backup of your layout first, checks the result after applying, and you can restore any backup later.

Will taking apps off my Home Screen delete them?

No. They stay installed and wait for you in the App Library. See Remove apps from the Home Screen.

Does Arrange back up my apps and data?

No. Arrange's backups cover your Home Screen layout only. Back up your device with iCloud or Finder for everything else.

Is Arrange made by Apple?

No. Arrange is made by EchelonOne, a small independent software company. It isn't made, endorsed, or supported by Apple.

How it works

Is this like the old iTunes app arranging?

That's the idea. iTunes let you arrange apps on your computer until Apple removed it in iTunes 12.7 in 2017. Arrange uses the same kind of connection to your device, and adds things iTunes never had, like moving many apps at once, sorting A–Z, organizing by category, and a backup before every change.

Does it work over Wi-Fi?

No. Arrange works over a USB cable.

Do I need to install anything on my iPhone or iPad?

No. Arrange runs on your Mac and talks to the device over the cable.

Can I move widgets?

Yes, between pages. Widgets show as grey blocks, and you can't edit them in Arrange. See Known limits.

Which version of macOS do I need?

macOS 12 Monterey or later.

Which iOS or iPadOS version does my device need?

There's no minimum. Arrange works with your iPhone or iPad whatever version it runs.

Is there a Windows version?

Not right now. Arrange is available for Mac.
