Install & activation

Quick fixes
- Breaks aren’t appearing
- Check that smart pause hasn’t caught a call or fullscreen video, and confirm you’re inside your working hours. A quick “break now” from the menu bar confirms the engine is running.
- My license won’t activate
- Activation needs a moment online. Confirm the key matches your purchase email, then retry — your account page shows which Mac currently holds the seat.
- The screensaver isn’t listed
- Open it once from Finder to register it, then pick Mandala under System Settings → Screen Saver. A restart clears the occasional macOS cache.
- Mandala isn’t in the menu bar
- macOS may have hidden it when the bar filled up. Widen the menu bar or check Login Items to make sure it launches with your Mac.
