FAQ
Common questions.
Do I need internet for Haptique OS to work?
Local device control runs on your home network. Internet is needed for online activation, downloads, updates, and optional Remote Control; connected services may also need internet.
What hardware can I run HOS on?
Use a supported Apple Silicon Mac, Windows PC, Linux x86_64 host, or Docker setup. See the downloads page for the builds currently available.
How does the HomeKit bridge work?
Connect supported devices to Apple Home, then use the Home app and Siri alongside Haptique. Follow the HomeKit setup guide to pair your home.
What is Haptique Music?
Haptique Music is Haptique OS's local-first music command center for local libraries, album artwork, artist browsing, internet radio, queues, zones, groups, and supported home audio outputs. Streaming and provider capabilities depend on connected services and current integrations.
Can I add custom device support?
Yes. Use the driver SDK for specialized gear and installer-specific workflows.
Is my home data sent anywhere?
Telemetry is off by default. Remote Control is explicit and optional.
How does the license work?
Fleet server remains free. Haptique OS and Haptique Music are activated by one perpetual Haptique OS suite license. That license includes 1 year of Remote Control, and Remote Control becomes an optional add-on after the first year.
