Using the Mac composition workflow?
The Mac composition workflow is available
in the Mac App Store edition. Update the Mac app to use shared editing, reviewed
revisions, component inspection, and exact local versions. These capabilities are
specific to this Mac release; no Windows composition update is announced here.
System requirements
Built for Mac and Windows.
Mac requires Apple silicon and macOS 12 or later. Windows requires Windows 11 on an
x64 or ARM64 processor. Stereo headphones are strongly recommended because binaural
layers depend on separate left and right channels.
Session files
Your work stays readable.
Threshold Lab is designed to keep prompts, plans, descriptions, WAV exports, and
optional Experience Records as understandable local files.
First voice use
Allow one model download.
Local narration may download about 90 MB from Hugging Face after you approve the
first-use notice. The model is then cached locally for reuse.
Optional AI planning
Connect your AI provider.
Mac and Windows support an isolated ChatGPT OAuth connection, or an
OpenAI or xAI API key you add in Settings. Session Creator,
imported plans, the built-in library, local rendering, and education do not require
an AI request. The included 90-minute Witness session plays immediately without a
provider key. Provider use may create charges on that account.
Listening safety
Listen at a comfortable level in a safe setting. Do not use Threshold Lab while driving
or operating machinery. Stop if a session produces distress, dizziness, unusual
discomfort, or another adverse reaction. Threshold Lab is not a medical device or a
substitute for professional care.
