Requires macOS 15.0 or later. – Oh god, this is so stupid and most irritating thing about macOS "Application development".

It is really unfair to call it "software" it is more like "glued to recent version of OS ware", meanwhile I can still run .exe compiled in 2006, and with wine even on mac or linux.

I would also have appreciated a version that's compatible with a non-latest macOS release.

Then again, this app was written with SwiftUI, which hasn't received some handy features before macOS 12 and is still way behind AppKit.

When I see an app that's not compatible with the second most recent macOS, I assume the dev either didn't know better or they were too lazy to write workarounds / shims for the latest-and-greatest shiny stuff.

However, you can't run an app targeted for Windows 11 on Windows XP. How unfair is that? Curse you, Microsoft.
