Nothing you use today goes behind a paywall. The whole PonyMux app stays free on macOS and Windows, and so does Remote Control from one computer.
PonyMux 0.17 opens Pro, and it adds two things on top of that: you can share your agents from up to 10 computers at once, and you unlock the Theme Pack, eight themes and eight cursor effects. Pro is $12.99 a month, or $10.83 a month billed yearly ($129.90, which saves 17%). Windows has its own 0.17.0 with the same Pro.
What does Free still have?
All of it. Terminals, live agent status, search across every conversation, the Inspector, multi-select preview, Focus Mode, pets, and the standard themes and cursor effects. Remote Control works on Free too: open my.ponymux.com on your phone and answer the agent that's waiting.
The one limit is how many computers share their agents at once. On Free it's one. Phones and browsers that only view your agents never count toward it.
What does Pro add?
Ten computers. If you work on a Mac at home and a Windows PC at the office, or a desktop and a laptop, you can turn on sharing on all of them. Every agent from every computer shows up in the same list on your phone. On Free, turning sharing on in a second computer asks which one should stop. Pro removes the question.
The Theme Pack. Eight themes and eight cursor effects that Free doesn't have. They are below.
What's in the Theme Pack?
Eight themes, four dark and four light, each taking its colors from a piece of clothing: Charcoal Trousers, Cloud Sneakers, Navy Jacket, Striped Shirt, Burgundy Shorts, Pink Oxford, Spruce Leggings, and Lime Panel. They sit in their own section at the bottom of Settings → Appearance, under a PRO label. On Free each one shows a lock, and clicking it tells you it comes with Pro.
Eight cursor effects: Burst, a small firework where the cursor lands. Teleport, which breaks the cursor into pixels and puts it back together. Shockwave, a ring that pushes the text aside. Glitch, which splits slices of text into red and blue. Jelly, a wobble. Vortex, which swirls the text away like a drain. Shimmer, like air over a hot road. Smear, a pan blur along the path.
The still above is Shockwave. On ponymux.com the effects run live, on the app's own shaders.
What happens if I stop paying?
You go back to one computer. The one you used most recently keeps sharing, and your agents keep running on all of them.
The Theme Pack stays. Once your account has had Pro, the Pack unlocks on every device you sign in to, and a device keeps it after Pro ends, after a refund, and after you sign out. I built it that way on purpose. A theme you picked shouldn't turn off because a card expired.
How do I get it, and what does it cost?
Open Settings → Plan at my.ponymux.com and choose Upgrade to Pro. In the app, the lock on a Pro theme and See Pro in Settings → Account open the same page. You pay with a card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay, and PonyMux never sees your card number. Payments go through Waffo Pancake, which is the merchant of record and sends the invoice.
It's $12.99 a month, or $10.83 a month billed yearly as $129.90. Both renew automatically until you cancel, and Pro stays on to the end of the period you paid for. Manage billing in the same Plan page cancels, switches between monthly and yearly, and updates your card.
You can ask for a refund within 7 days of a first monthly charge, 14 days of a first yearly charge, and 7 days after a renewal. The pricing page and the refund policy have the exact wording.
What else is in 0.17?
A Claude Code background session that reports itself idle no longer counts as busy. On Windows, Wake All now waits for each agent to report in before it starts the next one, so a batch of sessions comes back one after another. The 1 px gap between the sidebar and its divider is gone.
To see what each plan includes, start with Plans and limits. The Theme Pack is explained in Themes and appearance and Screen effects.
PonyMux is free for macOS and Windows: download it.
