What to expect
Beta builds give you the earliest access to new features, but they come with trade-offs. Here's what you should know before installing.
Earliest Access
Get new features weeks before the stable release. Beta builds are updated frequently as work progresses.
Help Us Improve
Your feedback directly shapes the final release. Report bugs, suggest tweaks, and influence what ships to everyone.
Expect Rough Edges
Beta builds may have bugs or incomplete features. We don't recommend using them in critical production workflows.
Found something? Let us know.
Beta feedback goes directly to the development team. Whether it's a crash, a missing feature, or just something that feels off — we want to hear it.
