Known Limitations

These are features that are intentionally out of scope for the current version of Dispatch Core. They are not bugs. If a limitation is blocking you, Dispatch Pro may cover it — or it may simply be something not on the roadmap.

Not available in Dispatch Core

Visual email builder — campaigns are written in WordPress Block Editor templates or raw HTML. A drag-and-drop builder is available in Dispatch Pro.
Customizable transactional emails — the confirmation email, welcome email, and unsubscribe confirmation use the plugin’s built-in templates and cannot be edited in Core. Full transactional email editing is available in Dispatch Pro.
CSV subscriber import — subscribers can only be added through the subscription form. Bulk import via CSV is a Dispatch Pro feature.
Email open and click tracking — Dispatch does not inject tracking pixels or redirect links. No open rate or click rate data is collected.
Campaign scheduling — campaigns are sent manually. There is no scheduled send feature.
Subscriber segmentation — all campaigns are sent to all active subscribers. Segment-based sending is not supported.
Email sequences / drip automation — there is no automated campaign sequence or drip functionality.
A/B testing — not available.
Multiple lists — Dispatch manages a single subscriber list per installation.

Built by People Who Actually Use the Software

M Media software isn't venture-funded, trend-chasing, or built to look good in pitch decks. It's built by developers who run their own servers, ship their own products, and rely on these tools every day.

That means fewer abstractions, fewer dependencies, and fewer "coming soon" promises. Our software exists because we needed it to exist — to automate real work, solve real problems, and keep systems running without babysitting.

We build software the way it used to be built: practical, durable, and accountable. If a feature doesn't save time, reduce friction, or make something more reliable, it doesn't ship.

✓ Every feature solves a problem we actually had

✓ No investor timelines forcing half-baked releases

✓ Updates add value, not just version numbers

✓ Documentation written by people who got stuck first

This is software designed to stay installed — not be replaced next quarter.

Telemetry Services ❌

No Bloat. No Spyware. No Nonsense.

Modern software has become surveillance dressed as convenience. Every click tracked, every behavior analyzed, every action monetized. M Media software doesn't play that game.

Our apps don't phone home, don't collect telemetry, and don't require accounts for features that should work offline. No analytics dashboards measuring your "engagement." No A/B tests optimizing how long you stay trapped in the interface.

We build tools, not attention traps.

The code does what it says on the tin — nothing more, nothing less. No hidden services running in the background. No dependencies on third-party APIs that might disappear tomorrow. No frameworks that require 500MB of node_modules to display a button.

✓ Your data stays on your device

✓ No "anonymous" usage statistics

✓ Minimal dependencies, fewer risks

✓ Respects CPU, RAM, and battery
