Intel Macs are unsupported.\n\n**Supported MacBooks:**\n\n- **MacBook Air:** M2 and newer\n- **MacBook Pro:** M1 Pro / Max and newer (standard M1 models are not supported)","categories":["Productivity","One-time Payment","MacOS","Automation","Utilities","General Productivity","Life Hackers","Knowledge Workers","Task Automation","Desktop Enhancement","Workflow Automation"],"published_at":"2026-09-14T04:00:00+00:00","updated_at":"2026-09-14T04:00:15+00:00"}
