OS Support

Built with Electron, ThoughtsPlus can run natively on macOS and Linux. We provide Beta builds for these platforms. Please be aware that they may contain unusual bugs or platform-specific issues as they are not the primary development target.

If you encounter any problems, please report them at GitHub Issues.
