The product you've built the animation for is only for macOS, which is a pity cause it has a way wider appeal than macOS market share is. You have low-hanging fruits right there, don't miss them.

Thank you for mentioning it and for putting your suggestion in the language you did.

That page with the time machine may not make it obvious, but the product does have a linux client!

It doesn't have the same app window and summarization of the macos version, but the transcript ingestion engine is efficient and the real value is in leveraging the database it builds using the packaged `/total-recall` or your own use of the api. (which is not yet documented but discoverable)

I am building the windows version now. I have been for the past four days. It uses a shared swift-core with the macOS and Linux versions which has been part of the reason it has taken "so long."

If anyone is on windows (or linux!) and would be willing to try it either of the clients my email is in my profile, I would be grateful.

Also I'm working up a short post with that apocolypto anim now.

macOS covers 90% of people who would ever pay him.
This is a bizarre claim to make in this case, AI tech is used on all platforms universally.
iOS users spend dramatically more on e-commerce. I worked in e-commerce. Maybe it’s changed in the last 5 years. But that’s where the ops sentiment comes from.
Literally just google “mac users more likely to pay” and you will find many such instances
Are Mac users more likely to pay? Likely yes.

Are the total number of Mac users who pay higher than the total number of Windows users who pay? I kind of doubt it. Windows market share is still much higher than MacOS.

Used, yes. That alone won't pay the bill.
