See the privacy information for local storage and network activity.

Compatibility

Requires macOS 13 Ventura or later. The universal app includes Apple Silicon (arm64) and Intel (x86_64) builds.

Runtime acceptance has been checked on macOS 27 with Apple Silicon. Older macOS versions and physical Intel Macs still need beta acceptance testing; the minimum deployment target is not a claim that every supported configuration has been tested.

Support

This is a public beta. Read the build 115 release notes for changes and remaining testing limitations. There isn’t a dedicated public support channel yet.
