3. Pick a region, search, download: Choose a region at the top, find the app you want, and download it to your Mac or install it on your iPhone.

## FAQ

### What is StoreDuo?

StoreDuo is a multi-region App Store client for Apple silicon Macs running macOS 15 or later. It keeps several Apple IDs from different countries signed in at once, switches between the US, Japan, Hong Kong, Korea and other App Stores in one click, downloads apps, and installs them on an iPhone or iPad over cable or Wi-Fi. It never changes the Apple ID signed in on your devices.

### How is this different from changing my Apple Account's country or region?

Apple’s guide explains that changing an account’s country or region requires handling its store balance and any subscriptions that block the change. You can also switch only the Media & Purchases account while keeping iCloud signed in. StoreDuo uses a separate Apple ID for each region without changing account regions or switching the purchasing account on your iPhone.

### Which App Store regions can I use?

Any region you have an Apple ID for — the US, Japan, Hong Kong, Korea and more. Add one account per region and StoreDuo picks the right one when you switch.

### What can I do with a free account?

Search and browse apps in every regional App Store and submit one app to the community. Downloading and installing apps requires an annual or lifetime membership.

### How do I pay? Can I cancel the annual plan?

Sign in to your StoreDuo account on the purchase page or in the app, then pay through Stripe in USD. During our six-month launch offer, Oct 19, 2026–Apr 19, 2027 at 23:59 (UTC+8), everyone automatically pays 40% of the standard price with no invite code: $11.96 for the first year (normally $29.90) or $27.60 lifetime (normally $69). Annual membership then renews at $29.90/year; cancel renewal anytime and keep benefits until the paid period ends. On the final day, new discounted orders close at 23:29; existing orders must be paid before 23:59. New purchases then return to standard prices. After paying online, refresh your membership in the app. Expiry never removes local files, installed apps or published community apps.

### Does it change the Apple ID signed in on my Mac or iPhone?

No. Accounts in StoreDuo are separate from your system account. Your devices keep their own Apple ID, and iCloud and purchase history are untouched.

### What are the system requirements?

StoreDuo is currently Mac-only and requires an Apple silicon Mac (M1 or later) with macOS 15 or later. It's a native Mac app, not an iPad port. Apps you download can be installed on a connected iPhone or iPad from your Mac.

### macOS says it can't verify the developer. What do I do?

In Finder, right-click StoreDuo, choose Open, then click Open again. If it's still blocked, go to System Settings → Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway. Apple explains this in “Safely open apps on your Mac”.

### Will it keep working?

StoreDuo relies on Apple's App Store protocol. If Apple changes it, some features may be affected. We'll do our best to keep up, but we can't guarantee it forever.
