System Requirements
Supported macOS versions, hardware, and network for ToShop.
Supported platforms
- macOS — 13.0 (Ventura) or later — Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4) and Intel both supported.
Older macOS versions may launch but aren't officially supported.
Hardware
RAM
4 GB minimum, 8 GB recommended (more if you run multiple agents with large contexts).
Storage
500 MB for the app + space for local Memories, indexer, audit log (grows with use; typically under 2 GB per user per year).
CPU
Any Mac shipped since 2015 will run ToShop.
Display
1280×720 minimum. UI is designed for 1440×900 and up.
Network
- Outbound HTTPS — For sign-in, updates, messaging via Telegram or Discord, and AI inference.
- Outbound real-time connections — For Telegram or Discord connections.
- Inbound — ToShop doesn't run a server you have to expose. No inbound connections required.
Corporate environments: most setups work with the standard system proxy. For environments that decrypt TLS, ToShop respects the system CA store.
Permissions ToShop asks for
- Notifications — End-of-task pings.
- Accessibility — Drive other apps in some skills.
- Screen Recording — Required for screen capture and on-screen OCR.
- Files (path-scoped) — Read/write the files you ask your agent to touch.
Decline any of them and ToShop continues to work, with those specific tools unavailable.
What ToShop is not
Lightweight by design
- Does not require admin / root access.
- Does not install kernel extensions or system services.
- Does not run a public listener on any port.
Headless / server use
ToShop is a desktop client. Server-side / headless deployment isn't supported. For event-driven automation, use Routines running on your desktop instead.
