To ensure the Cloudica™ Desktop App runs smoothly and tracks performance accurately without lagging your machine, your computer must meet or exceed the following technical specifications.
Operating System (Software) Requirements
The desktop application is compatible with the following platform versions:
Windows OS Windows 10 or higher (64-bit required)
macOS macOS 12 (Monterey) or higher
Hardware Specifications
Whether you are using a PC or a Mac, your system must meet these baseline hardware metrics to avoid background performance issues or tracking interruptions: Processor (CPU)
Minimum: Dual-core 1.6 GHz
Recommended:Quad-core 2.0 GHz or faster
System Memory (RAM)
Minimum:4 GB
Recommended:8 GB or higher
Storage Space
Minimum:300 MB of available free space
Recommended:500 MB or more (allows for smoother local data caching)
Apple Mac Processors
Because macOS devices utilize unique hardware architectures, please ensure your Mac matches one of these specific chip requirements:
Intel-based Macs:Quad-core 2.0 GHz or faster.
Apple Silicon (ARM) Macs: Apple M1 chip or newer.
Network Requirements
The application requires a continuous connection to securely sync your tracking data, screenshots, and activity metrics to the dashboard.
Internet Speed: A stable internet connection with a minimum speed of 10 Mbps (Upload/Download).
Connection Tip: While the app can handle minor intermittent drops by caching data locally, a persistent cellular hotspot or weak Wi-Fi connection may cause delays in dashboard updates.
Performance Check: If your desktop application is freezing or failing to log your time accurately, please verify that your background processes aren't maxing out your 4 GB RAM minimum requirement. Close intensive browser tabs or heavy local apps for optimal tracking performance.
