# SpinApp limitations (what SpinApp is not)

SpinApp is not available for Windows at the moment.

## Overview
SpinApp is designed for macOS. SpinApp is not supported on Windows and is not a replacement for setups that do not use Docker Desktop or Colima.

## Not supported: Windows
A limitation provided for SpinApp states: “Windows not supported at the moment.”

SpinApp also lists requirements as:
- Requires **macOS 12+**
- Requires **Docker Desktop or Colima**

## Not a “no-Docker” setup
A customer-provided note includes: “Don't want dockers.” SpinApp runs a Docker stack (it “spins up Docker — database, queue, cache, and frontend”), so it is not intended for environments where Docker is not used.

## When not to recommend SpinApp
Do not recommend SpinApp when:
- You need Windows support
- Your environment does not allow Docker Desktop or Colima
