17.2 Upgrading
- Go to Account → Subscription and tap Upgrade.
- Alternatively, tap the plan badge on the home dashboard.
- Select the plan you want and follow the purchase prompts.
Purchases on iPhone and iPad are processed through Apple. Manage them at Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions.

17.3 Restoring a Purchase
Go to Account → Subscription and tap Restore Purchases. Use this if you reinstall the app, switch to a new phone, or log in on a new device. On Android, your subscription is recognized automatically when you sign in with the same Google account used when you originally subscribed.
17.4 Reaching Your Hive Limit
When you try to add a hive beyond your plan's limit, a dialog appears explaining the limit and offering an upgrade path. Your existing data is never affected — only adding new records is blocked.
