Why it matters: Chaos now ships as a native macOS app alongside iPhone and iPad. The desktop beta delivers menu bar capture, universal shortcuts and offline sync, while the Android preview waitlist is open so we can prioritise the right devices as soon as builds stabilise.
TL;DR
- Download Chaos for macOS from the App Store for menu bar capture, system-wide shortcuts and offline drafting.
- Join the Android preview waitlist with your device model so we can batch invites as builds stabilise.
- We are consolidating feedback through Chaos Spaces and pairing it with decision logs to steer platform priorities.
What ships in the Chaos desktop beta?
The macOS release mirrors the iPhone and iPad experience with a few desktop-first perks: menu bar quick capture, Spotlight-style command palette, and offline sync for when you are travelling. Your captures sync instantly, so the creative operations workflow and data hygiene checklist stay current across devices.
Beta highlight: In our internal dogfooding cycle, the desktop capture flow cut friction for long-form writing—product leads drafted decision logs in the macOS app while offline and Chaos synced the moment they reconnected.
How does the Android preview waitlist work?
Android support is in active build. The waitlist now asks for device family (Pixel, Samsung, Nothing, etc.) and preferred markets. GSMA Intelligence’s Mobile Economy 2024 report estimates Android powers roughly 71% of smartphones worldwide—so we’re sequencing invites carefully to cover the most common devices first.[1] We will invite testers in cohorts so we can validate capture reliability, notification timing and offline sync before opening the floodgates.
| Platform | Status | Key actions |
|---|---|---|
| iOS / iPadOS | Live on App Store | Keep auto-updates on for context reminders |
| macOS | Desktop beta open | Install, enable menu bar capture, sync shortcuts |
| Android | Preview waitlist | Join waitlist with device model, watch inbox for cohort invite |
What’s next on the platform roadmap?
We are focusing on three areas: stabilising Android capture, shipping more automations on desktop, and deepening context sharing between Chaos and Apple Intelligence. Feedback lives in Chaos Spaces so we can publish decision logs detailing why features ship or slip.
Key takeaways
- The Chaos desktop beta is live—download from the Mac App Store for quick capture and offline sync.
- Android preview waitlist is open; we are inviting testers in cohorts based on device data.
- Roadmap updates will continue to flow through Chaos Spaces and decision logs for transparency.
