macOS Feature
Window Management
Local AI Cat includes keyboard shortcuts and macOS window behavior that fit best in the direct-download build.
Mac App Store note: the App Store build can only move the Local AI Cat window itself. It cannot control other apps' windows because App Store sandboxing blocks that access.
What the direct-download build is for
- Snap Local AI Cat into useful side-by-side layouts
- Use the fuller Mac capability set outside App Store sandbox limits
- Keep the direct-download path aligned with Team and Enterprise rollout
Why the App Store is more limited
Apple requires Mac App Store apps to run inside a sandbox. That limits external window control and other system-level capabilities that fit better in a direct-download build.
