Maniac Lab

Maniac ID

One account. All your apps.

Your Maniac ID keeps track of the apps you buy, so you can install them on any of your PCs — up to 5 of them.

What is a Maniac ID?

It’s simply your e-mail address. There’s no password to remember or leak: each time you sign in, we send a 6-digit code to your inbox.

  • Buy apps once — they belong to you, not to one PC.
  • Install them on up to 5 PCs from Store › Purchased.
  • One sign-in for the whole system, in Settings or the Store.
  • Optional: you only need it to buy apps.

Questions and answers

I bought an app on this website. How do I get it?
Sign in on Maniac OS with the same e-mail address you used at checkout. The app appears under Store › Purchased.
I received a licence key by e-mail.
Choose Store › Redeem Licence Key… and enter the key. It’s added to the Maniac ID you’re signed in with.
I don’t receive the code.
Check your spam folder and that the address is spelled correctly. Codes are valid for 10 minutes, so ask for a new one if it has expired. Still nothing? Write to support@maniaclab.app.
Can I change my e-mail address?
Write to support@maniaclab.app from your current address and tell us the new one; we’ll move your purchases.
What do you store about me?
Your e-mail address, your purchases and the PCs you’ve authorised (a random PC identifier and the name you gave it). See the privacy policy.
