For testing
All current features should be considered experimental - isn't that exciting?
Right now, the focus is on building features and push things as far as possible: View and edit every aspect of projects, ease project management as well as sample magement, provide bulk actions, etc.
End game is to get everything that's possible on the Ocratrack - and then more.
To make all that possible, features have to be tested through and through by as much users as possible. They say no plan survives first contact with implementation; well I'd add: no implementation survives first contact with real-world usage.
If you’re using the app, your experience matters a lot: Whether everything works perfectly or not, every piece of feedback helps move the project forward. Even a simple “worked fine for me” is useful. The goal is to validate each feature across a diverse group of real users. This will tremendously help in creating a useful and stable app.
At this stage, functional feedback is what matters the most: correctness, reliability, data integrity, edge cases, and real-world behavior. UI/UX and visual design will be refined later; the current priority is building a solid, reliable foundation of functionalities.
You can report issues, feedbacks and ideas directly on the Elektronauts thread.
For macOS Code Signing
On macOS, the app currently requires extra steps to run because it isn’t code-signed yet. If you have an Apple Developer account and are willing to help by sharing a signing certificate for CI/CD use, it would make a huge difference — significantly improving the macOS installation experience for the entire community.
If you’re able to help, please get in touch.

For supporting the project
Octatrack Manager is a free, open-source project developed in my spare time. If you find the app useful and would like to support its ongoing development, you can do so by buying me a coffee.
