System Requirements
Supported platforms
Section titled “Supported platforms”- macOS 12 (Monterey) or later — Apple Silicon only (M1, M2, M3, M4 and later). Intel Macs are not supported.
- Windows 10 or later — 64-bit (x86_64)
- Linux — 64-bit (x86_64), glibc 2.35 or newer. Ships as an AppImage; tested on Ubuntu 22.04+, Fedora 36+, Arch, and Debian 12+.
Hardware
Section titled “Hardware”| Minimum | Recommended | |
|---|---|---|
| RAM | 8 GB | 16 GB (or more for 50+ frame stacks) |
| Disk | 20 GB free | SSD with 40+ GB free |
| CPU | Any modern CPU (2015+) | 6+ cores |
| GPU | Not required — falls back to CPU | Any GPU, discrete or integrated, for faster stacking |
Stacking is GPU-accelerated and uses your hardware automatically — there’s nothing to switch on. Any discrete or integrated GPU works, including the one built into Apple Silicon Macs; if your system has both, the discrete card is used. With no compatible GPU, stacking falls back to the CPU automatically — you get the same image, it just takes a little longer. On Windows and Linux, keep your graphics drivers up to date so your GPU is detected. See Stacking for more.
Licensing
Section titled “Licensing”Each license activates on up to 3 machines (e.g. your desktop and laptop). Activations on a 4th machine will be refused — contact support if you need to move a license to a new machine.
The version you buy is yours to keep. Future major versions may be released as optional paid upgrades; the version you own continues to receive bug fixes and feature improvements for the lifetime of that version line.
