Capability matrix

Platforms

Installer availability, architecture and dates for supported desktop platforms.

Mac · Apple silicon

Beta

The configured direct DMG is available as a public technical preview.

Requirement: Apple silicon (arm64) · macOS 14.0+

Intel Mac

Unavailable

The public Mac package does not support Intel processors.

Installer: No compatible public installer

Windows

In development

Development is in progress. No public installer or test date is announced.

Date: Not announced

Capability matrix

Execution and input

What can receive a task today, and which input paths are available.

Codex App Server

Beta

The signed-in Codex App Server provides full fixed-project and computer task execution.

Requirement: Required for full project and computer tasks

Separately configured Providers

Beta

Origin-validated providers can handle a narrower set of text tasks with the user's own credentials.

Boundary: No Codex tool authority; not a full computer executor

Voice and text input

Beta

Text input is available without microphone access. Deliberately started voice capture is transcribed locally.

Voice limit: Explicit start/stop · 30-second hard limit

Capability matrix

Access and safety

The current scope model and controls around project or app work.

File and app access

Beta

Project work stays in the fixed project. External attachments require Allow once and use a selected-object-only staging copy.

External originals: Read-only and outside Snapshot / Undo

Safety controls

Beta

Read-only planning, user-reviewed approvals, Abort, and optional snapshot/diff/Undo are present with documented limits.

Default: Automatic snapshot, diff and Undo are off by default

Capability matrix

Updates, diagnostics, and privacy

The first-party anonymous website aggregates are separate from release-pending v0.9.7 desktop diagnostics and product analytics.

Automatic desktop updates

Release pending

The v0.9.7 candidate can check a fixed HTTPS feed and defer restart while work is active. It is not part of the current public v0.9.6 build, and the production feed plus signed predecessor-to-candidate smoke are not yet verified.

Public release: Not in v0.9.6 · production verification pending

Optional reliability diagnostics

Release pending

The candidate's first-run privacy prompt initially displays reliability diagnostics selected, but preselection is not consent: persisted consent stays false, its identifier stays null, and its SDK and network path stay off until the user explicitly saves the choices. Choosing “Keep both off” saves false/false. The candidate destination is Sentry's EU region. Error events ingested during the Business trial may remain for up to 90 days; new events ingested after the Developer-plan downgrade use 30 days, without retroactively shortening trial-era expiry. One-time reports remain separately authorised. The current public v0.9.6 build does not send desktop diagnostics.

External service: Sentry EU · 90-day maximum, then 30 days for new events

Optional limited product analytics

Release pending

The same first-run prompt initially displays limited product analytics selected, but persisted consent stays false, its identifier stays null, and its SDK and network path stay off until the user explicitly saves the choices. The candidate sends only 24 fixed, content-free events to PostHog EU Cloud, which retains accepted events for up to one year on the current Free plan. Client IP storage, GeoIP enrichment, person profiles, autocapture, replay, and account linkage are disabled. Turning analytics off stops future sending; already accepted events follow the provider retention or deletion process. The current public v0.9.6 build does not send desktop product analytics.

External service: PostHog EU Cloud · up to one year

Anonymous website audience aggregates

Available now

Public-page activity is combined directly into daily aggregate counts. The system uses no cookie, LocalStorage, visitor, session, advertising, or account identifier; stores no raw event stream or complete browsing journey; excludes account and work areas; and honours Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track.

Measurement boundary: First-party aggregate counts · not unique people

Capability matrix

Pets and creator tools

Package formats, web tools, publishing and concept material are separate capabilities.

Pet compatibility ZIP

Available now

The current app supports the pip.pet.package.v2 workflow. Official community packages avoid public static URLs and are delivered to verified accounts through short-lived, one-time private links.

Public build: v0.9.6

Desktop-native .pppet

Release pending

The current notarized Mac build includes local .pppet import and the PPAS runtime. Community package delivery remains closed while compatibility and publisher-trust controls complete their rollout.

Desktop / community boundary: App import included; community delivery release pending

Creator Studio

Beta

The web Studio keeps local validation available and, on the controlled community host, can create authenticated private drafts for server revalidation and review.

Community mode: Controlled beta; private drafts only

Website community accounts

Beta

Verified identity, server sessions and role-based permissions are available on the dedicated community host.

Account actions: Controlled beta

Pet Community browsing

Available now

Visitors can browse eight published official animal and human companions and preview every available action without signing in.

Public access: Available

Community pet downloads

Unavailable

Approved packages stay private and are delivered to verified accounts through short-lived, one-time download tickets.

Download action: Controlled beta

Community upload and review

Beta

Creator onboarding, private quarantine, server validation, safe preview transcoding, human review, reports and takedown controls are available as a controlled beta.

Public submissions: Human review required

Concept Reel

Concept

The reel communicates product direction. It is not a real client capture or evidence of a shipped task.

Evidence class: Concept only

Known limitations

These limits apply even when a neighbouring capability is marked available or beta.

Known limitations

The public Mac artifact supports Apple silicon only; Intel Mac is unavailable.
The app installed from the current public release is still named Voice Router Pet.app.
Full project and computer execution depends on a compatible signed-in Codex App Server; Providers are narrower.
Snapshot and Undo are optional, fixed-project only, and cannot reverse remote, automation or other external effects.
The App can import .pppet locally, but public previews and private seed packages do not establish package compatibility or publisher trust; community downloads stay closed during that rollout.
Community uploads remain fail-closed whenever safe-preview or human-review readiness is missing. Anonymous website aggregates are not used for pet ranking, and analytics-based popularity remains disabled.
