Vox Jot is being prepared for direct macOS Apple Silicon distribution first. The production path is signed, notarized, local-first, and built around app-managed model and runtime downloads instead of a bloated first installer.
The first public target is a downloadable macOS build for Apple Silicon Macs. This keeps permissions, global shortcuts, local models, paste output, and sidecar runtime behavior outside App Store review friction while the product hardens.
The release path is Developer ID signing, hardened runtime, notarization, stapling, and Gatekeeper validation before broad beta access. The public download link will appear here after update artifacts and rollback checks are ready.
Automatic updates are part of the beta gate. The app should publish signed update artifacts and channel metadata before a wider release, with stable and beta tracks kept separate.
Larger OCR, speech-analysis, TTS, and model runtimes belong in clear app-managed downloads. That keeps the base installer practical while still making visible features runnable for normal users.
Use the support and privacy routes now. The production download should be added only after signing, notarization, updater, and clean-machine smoke checks are complete.
