Roadmap

  1. Q1 2026Public beta — Windows and macOS installers with a signed developer certificate.
  2. Q2 2026Linux packages (AppImage, deb, rpm) + auto-updates through the built-in updater.
  3. Q3 2026Enterprise MSI/PKG with silent install flags and Group Policy templates.
  4. Q4 2026Shared cache with the CLI (nct) so conversions triggered from the terminal show up in the app history.

Need this now? The terminal CLI (nct) already covers the offline conversion path on all three platforms.
