04 / Before you install

A few things to know.

What does the free tier include?

The planned v1.1 free tier includes local CPU solving, Base Pack, and result analysis. GPU solving is available with Essential and above. Solving in the current App Store v1.0 requires an in-app purchase. Check the installation details for the available version.

How do App Store and Direct differ?

The App Store handles installation and purchases through Apple. Direct v1.1 (10) is available as a standalone .dmg download. App Store and Direct purchases and entitlements are separate.

Can I use it entirely offline?

Calculations run locally, and saved results can be revisited. Starting a new solve may still require sign-in and an entitlement check, so fully offline starts are not guaranteed.

Will it run on my Mac?

The current App Store listing requires macOS 14 or later and an Apple Silicon Mac. Direct v1.1 (10) requires macOS 26.0 or later and Apple Silicon. Larger trees need more memory.

Where can I find detailed instructions?

Read the user manual ↗ for setup, solving, and result exploration.
