I wish. I haven’t found anything that offers similar functionality for Mac. This is a great concept though, and I’m sure some Mac developer will try to capitalize on it.

As the mother of a child with special needs, I do not need a dictionary to look up the word "autistic" and a lot of other words, I have done this a long time ago. I have come to terms with this, can put things in perspective, and don't mind a stupid silly joke about it. Save me your condescension Humanoid.

I think the developer is paying attention. When I just went back to install Fences the second time, there no longer is any mention about an expiration date (although in the ABOUT tab, it does state that THIS BETA version expires in August. No problem with that - very clear.) Also Thanks Carl.

I hope they won't move current functionality to a Pro version at some point in time. Thanks Carl, I missed that part at the end.
