Tokens requires OS X Mountain Lion. It makes extensive use of the built-in sharing services, Notification Center, and other 10.8 APIs. We like Mountain Lion and think that most developers will be using it by now. Tokens is not available for Windows.
Your password is securely stored in the local keychain. All communication with iTunes Connect happens on your Mac. Your account details are never sent to our server. See our security page if you'd like more details about this stuff.
Not yet. We'll be looking into this very soon.
No. This would be a pretty direct violation of the rules.
11.1 Apps that unlock or enable additional features or functionality with mechanisms other than the App Store will be rejected.
Yep! Click the add button and choose "Manual Import". Tokens can't tell if manually imported promo codes were previously redeemed, so only import codes that haven't been used yet.
Tokens displays apps that are Ready For Sale, Processing for App Store, Pending Developer Release, or Pending an Apple Release. Apps in other states are not displayed because Apple does not allow promo codes to be generated for them.
Only accounts that have the legal role in iTunes Connect can generate promo codes. To the best of our knowledge there is no way to assign this role, so you will need to sign in as the primary admin user.
No, that would be crazy. Tokens only generates promo codes as you need them.
For free, you can generate, share and track five promo codes. If you want to continue to use Tokens after that, you can upgrade to the paid version for $19.
You surely can. Just hold option while you share, copy or drag the tokens. Sharing tokn.co links help the recipient easily redeem apps and they also let you track when a token has been redeemed, so we recommend them. But you're the boss.
Our app communicates with iTunes Connect using a technique known as HTML scraping. This breaches section 8.1 of the Mac App Store Review Guidelines so Tokens would never be approved. Tokens is signed with a Gatekeeper developer ID.
If you copy ~/Library/Application Support/com.usetokens.Tokens to your new Mac and restart Tokens, it will have all the previous data.
