A local research workspace, before the installer.

Lab Assistant is an engineering-stage desktop application intended to help researchers plan, run, and read computational biology work while keeping ordinary workspace data local. Account licensing exists; a signed installer and a supported production release do not yet.

Current truth

What exists today

Local application code

A macOS engineering codebase exists and is being developed as a local research console. This is not the same as a notarized, supported installer.

Account-bound licensing

The account service can issue and revoke a license identity and watermark for an approved user. It does not currently deliver a binary.

Explicit network boundary

The intended architecture keeps workspace files local. Only a model-tool call deliberately submitted to Provotics would leave the device. PHI remains prohibited.

No download button is shown as active. The account dashboard will display preview status until a signed installer, integrity verification, update channel, and platform support process are operational.

Platform status

Supported means tested and deliverable

Platform	Current state	Public support
macOS	Engineering codebase; signing, notarization, packaging, update delivery, and release QA remain.	Not yet
Windows	No public distribution or support path is available.	Not yet
Linux	No public distribution or support path is available.	Not yet

Release gate

What must be complete before launch

Signed and notarized installer with published checksum and release notes.
Automatic or clearly documented secure-update process.
License activation, revocation, offline behavior, and recovery tested end to end.
Exact supported operating-system and hardware matrix.
Local-data deletion, diagnostics, crash handling, and support procedures.
Threat model and privacy review covering every network request.
