Beta Limitations ​

Canoryn is in active beta. The goal is to make local-first Mac automation useful and trustworthy before expanding the product surface.

What Works Best Today ​

Canoryn is best suited for:

  • testing local AI-assisted workflows,
  • building small visual automation graphs,
  • running simple app/system actions,
  • experimenting with voice or text-triggered commands,
  • sharing workflow ideas through .cryn files.

What May Still Change ​

During beta, these areas may change between releases:

  • node names and action schemas,
  • workflow file format details,
  • AI provider settings,
  • memory behavior,
  • app permissions and onboarding flow,
  • store/discovery publishing flow.

Known Practical Limits ​

  • Some actions require macOS permissions before they work.
  • Cloud AI providers require your own API key.
  • Local AI requires Ollama or another supported local model setup.
  • Complex UI automation can fail if the target app changes its interface.
  • Not every action listed in older examples may be available in every beta build.

Trust and Safety Expectations ​

  • Keep important workflows simple and test them before relying on them.
  • Review actions that can modify files or control apps.
  • Avoid giving broad file permissions unless your workflow needs them.
  • If a workflow uses a cloud AI provider, assume prompt/context data is sent to that provider.
