Every app

System requirements

What each app needs, which devices are supported, and what is optional.

Operating systems

Every Wells Code app requires:

  • iOS 26 or later
  • iPadOS 26 or later
  • macOS 26 or later

A purchase covers that app on iPhone, iPad and Mac.

Optional, not required

Many reading, writing and organising features continue without a connection. iCloud sync, new feed and channel data, video playback, purchase checks and connected AI-client requests need a connection.

Storage

The apps themselves are small. What grows is your own content, Echo’s photos and video in particular. Echo’s Settings ▸ Sync ▸ On This Device shows how many entries, photos and videos the device holds, and Beacon’s Settings ▸ Data ▸ Item age clears old items automatically.

What is not supported

There is no web version, no Android version and no Windows version. The apps are built for Apple platforms with Apple’s native frameworks.
