Getting started
- Open the downloaded file and follow the prompts to finish setup.
- On first launch, wavecat guides you through installing its vision and language models, which take up roughly 19 GB of disk space.
- You'll then be asked to allow wavecat to watch your screen. Everything runs locally, so no personal data ever leaves your device.

Hardware requirements
- Mac: Apple Silicon only, with 24 GB unified memory minimum and 32 GB+ recommended.
- Windows / Linux: a dedicated GPU with 12 GB+ VRAM (Vulkan, plus CUDA on Windows), or a unified-memory device with 24 GB+ RAM.
- Nothing is strictly enforced, but wavecat won't run smoothly unless your device meets these requirements.
