Greptile SummaryThis PR updates the platform-support FAQ entry to remove the stale
Confidence Score: 5/5Documentation-only change with no code execution paths affected; safe to merge. The change is a single-sentence edit to a documentation file. The stale version claim is removed, both destination links are live and correct, and the new wording accurately reflects that macOS build compatibility varies per release. No logic, configuration, or API surface is touched. No files require special attention. Important Files Changed

The "GitHub release assets" reference is plain text while the downloads page next to it is a proper hyperlink. Readers following the macOS-specific path will need to navigate to GitHub on their own; linking directly to the releases page gives them a one-click path to the same information.

Note: If this suggestion doesn't match your team's coding style, reply to this and let me know. I'll remember it for next time!

Linked the GitHub release assets directly in fb32551, so the macOS guidance now has one-click links for both destinations.

Build is green on fb32551, the Greptile thread is already handled, and I attempted to squash-merge this PR. GitHub rejected the merge because TimeToBuildBob does not have MergePullRequest permission on ActivityWatch/docs, so this is ready and just waiting on a maintainer merge. |
Summary
macOS 10.15+floorWhy
ActivityWatch/activitywatch#1294surfaced that the public docs still promisedmacOS 10.15+, but current macOS support varies across release lines.Impact
The FAQ no longer gives Catalina/Intel users a false expectation about every current macOS build.
