Does this launcher work with MacOS? I always understood the launcher to be Windows only, so that’s why I’m asking.

Currently, it’s a Windows-only app but we plan to improve this area for other platforms (macOS and Linux). We will include project management utilities in the Editor itself or port the Launcher to those platforms.
