Due to a rather unpleasant situation that arose in one of the threads, I decided to share an early version of my Photoshop plugin. With the holidays approaching, I see this as a time for unity, mutual understanding, and building something together, especially within the community we have here, which I genuinely consider valuable. The version being shared is a free, basic edition of the plugin. It requires no licenses, activation, or additional steps; you install and use it. Think of it as a tool for open testing and everyday work, with no obligations attached. The full, final version of the plugin is a paid product, but I have no intention of persuading or pushing anyone to purchase it. Everyone can decide for themselves if and when it becomes useful to them. The only thing I ask in return is honest feedback on how it works, comments on how it works, and suggestions on what could be improved or expanded. This kind of feedback is genuinely valuable to me and helps bring the project to a solid, well-refined final form. Enjoy using it, and thank you in advance for any constructive input.

Thank you! Does the product work on macOS? Is there any chance for Mac users to test it out? Also, what additional features will be included in the paid version? Where can I find more information about the product?
I don't use macOS, so I can't test if it works. You can test it; it's built on JavaScript/CSS/HTML without any DLLs. My website https://gradientwheel.com
Try use ChatGPT to explain how to install plug-in on macOS. It shows me few solutions but i can`t verify them.
Maybe you have some regional restrictions? Everything works fine for me. https://urlscan.io/result/019b4be1-ce40-763e-8f99-60adc65bc4be/
