Ah, doesn't work on Sequoia 15.8.x. I wonder what features my Mac is missing to display a sphere with data.

Same, such a shame developers are going this route, e.g. Raycast 2 as well won't work on older MacOS versions. I don't plan on updating to the liquid thingy as long as I can on my laptops.

Same reason I ended up building Hopper. Wanted the speed without paying monthly for it. No setup rabbit hole. command space takes you back to the tab, doc or session you were in, and back retraces your steps across the Mac. Free!

To the developer, please just add this line to your prompt: "ensure it works on the 2 previous versions of MacOS".

Golden Gate Sidebar Layout. Designing for Sequoia is different than for Tahoe, and even more for the pre Liquid Glass OSes. Totally sensible for a new software to only care about future releases imho.

Yeah, sorry I didn't mean to sound salty. I was just a bit surprised, this is the first application that refuses to run on my M4 macbook. Maybe time to upgrade OSX :)
