# 1.1.3 Minimum requirements & supported devices (desktop, tablet, mobile)

## Minimum Requirements & Supported Devices

Spectre Cloud is a fully web-based platform, which means there is **no software to install** and no operating system lock-in. If your device can run a modern web browser, it can run Spectre Cloud.

### Minimum Requirements

- **A modern web browser** — Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge (latest stable version recommended).
- **An active internet connection** — required for data replication to and from the cloud server.
- **A Spectre Cloud account** — sign up at `cloud.spectrebowling.com`.
- **Recommended screen size: 8 inches or larger** — for the most comfortable workflow, especially during spec sheet entry and drilling.

### Supported Devices

Spectre Cloud runs on essentially any device with a supported browser. Multiple devices can be logged into the same account at the same time, and data syncs immediately across all of them.

#### 🖥️ Desktop & Laptop

- **Windows** — Chrome, Firefox, or Edge.
- **macOS** — Safari, Chrome, or Firefox.
- **Linux** — Chrome or Firefox.
- **Chromebook** — Chrome.
- Recommended for back-office work, data entry, reports, and administration.

#### 📱 Tablet

- **iPad** — Safari or Chrome.
- **Android tablets** — Chrome or Firefox.
- **Windows tablets** — Edge, Chrome, or Firefox.
- Recommended for shop-floor use, tethering to a drill press, and on-the-go spec sheet entry.

#### 📲 Mobile (Smartphone)

- **iPhone** — Safari or Chrome.
- **Android phones** — Chrome or Firefox.
- The interface is mobile-friendly and suitable for quick lookups, on-the-spot client checks, and the Job Board plugin.

### Performance Tip

The better the device, the better the performance. While Spectre Cloud will run on virtually any browser-capable device, a tablet or laptop with an 8-inch or larger display offers the best experience — especially for tasks like spec sheet creation, oval input, and arsenal management.

### What You Don't Need

- ❌ No app installation or App Store purchase.
- ❌ No manual backups — data is automatically saved to the cloud.
- ❌ No specific operating system — if it runs a modern browser, it runs Spectre.
- ❌ No per-device licensing — log in on as many devices as you need.
