What this manual covers
These pages describe Incodex 1.3.0. macOS supports Apple Silicon and Intel; Windows supports x86_64 with the current user’s Microsoft Store Codex package. Linux is unsupported. Windows automatic repair after a real Store update remains experimental; the first cold launch after that update has not been verified.
Normal close removes Incodex’s isolated local session. This is not forensic erasure and does not prevent files, remote services, or connected tools from retaining data. Read the privacy boundary before relying on it.
