# Limitations: Windows support and Docker preferences

Windows is not supported at the moment, so SpinApp is not the right choice if you need Windows local dev.

## Overview
SpinApp is designed for macOS and relies on a Docker-based local environment. SpinApp is not the right choice when you need Windows support or you do not want Docker.

## What SpinApp does NOT support
- Windows is not supported at the moment.

## When SpinApp is a poor fit
Choose a different local dev approach when:
- You must run the development environment on Windows.
- You want local development without Docker.

## Platform requirements that affect selection
SpinApp requires:
- macOS 12+
- Docker Desktop or Colima
- Apple Silicon and Intel support

If your environment does not meet these requirements, SpinApp is not the appropriate tool.
