+- macOS: Uses `~/Library/Application Support/` directory
+- Maintains backward compatibility with existing Windows installations
+
+### `start_aerofly_map.sh` (New File)
+- macOS equivalent to `start_aerofly_map.bat`
+- Starts UDP to WebSocket server in background
+- Starts HTTP server on port 8080
+- Automatically opens browser to application
+- Proper process management and cleanup
+
+## Technical Details
+
+### Path Handling
+```python
+# Windows: %LOCALAPPDATA%/SayIntentionsAI/
+# macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/SayIntentionsAI/
+```
+
+### Launcher Features
+- Background server startup
+- Automatic browser opening
+- Process ID tracking for cleanup
+- Error handling and status reporting
+
+## Testing
+- ✅ Tested on macOS (Python 3.12.5)
+- ✅ Verified SimAPI file creation in correct macOS location
+- ✅ Confirmed HTTP server starts on port 8080
+- ✅ Tested WebSocket server functionality
+- ✅ Verified backward compatibility with Windows paths
+
+## Benefits
+- **macOS Support**: Enables macOS users to run the application
+- **Cross-Platform**: Single codebase supports both Windows and macOS
+- **User-Friendly**: Simple `./start_aerofly_map.sh` command
+- **Maintainable**: Clean separation of platform-specific logic
+
+## Files Changed
+- `python/udp_to_websocket.py` - 8 lines modified, 1 line added
+- `start_aerofly_map.sh` - 40 lines (new file)
+
+## Usage
+```bash
+# Make executable
+chmod +x start_aerofly_map.sh
+
+# Run application
+./start_aerofly_map.sh
+```
+

+# Pull Request: Add macOS Shutdown Script and Cross-Platform Shutdown Handling
+
+## Summary
+This PR adds macOS shutdown functionality to complement the existing Windows shutdown script, enabling the "Exit Application" button to work properly on macOS systems.
+
+## Problem
+- The original repository added an "Exit Application" button that calls `kill_aerofly_bridge.bat` for Windows
+- macOS users couldn't use the Exit Application button as there was no equivalent shutdown script
+- The Python script was hardcoded to only execute Windows batch files
+
+## Solution
+- **macOS Shutdown Script**: Created `kill_aerofly_bridge.sh` equivalent to Windows batch file
+- **Cross-Platform Detection**: Updated Python script to detect operating system and use appropriate shutdown script
+- **Backward Compatibility**: Maintains full compatibility with existing Windows functionality
+
+## Changes Made
+
+### `kill_aerofly_bridge.sh` (New File)
+- macOS equivalent to `kill_aerofly_bridge.bat`
+- Stops Python servers and processes on ports 8080 and 8765
+- Uses macOS/Linux commands (`pkill`, `lsof`, `kill`)
+- Nuclear option: Kills terminal processes running the launcher script
+- Force kill with SIGKILL (-9) for immediate termination
+- Proper error handling and user feedback
+
+### `python/udp_to_websocket.py`
+- Added platform detection using `platform.system()`
+- Supports Windows (.bat), macOS (.sh), and Linux (.sh) shutdown scripts
+- Automatic script selection based on operating system
+- Non-blocking script execution using `subprocess.Popen()` to prevent deadlock
+- Enhanced error handling and logging
+
+## Technical Details
+
+### Platform Detection
+```python
+system = platform.system().lower()
+if system == "windows":
+    script_name = "kill_aerofly_bridge.bat"
+elif system == "darwin":  # macOS
+    script_name = "kill_aerofly_bridge.sh"
+else:  # Linux or other Unix-like systems
+    script_name = "kill_aerofly_bridge.sh"
+```
+
+### Non-Blocking Execution
+```python
+# Use Popen instead of run to avoid deadlock
+process = subprocess.Popen([script_path], shell=False,
+                         stdout=subprocess.PIPE, 
+                         stderr=subprocess.PIPE)
+```
+
+### Shutdown Script Features
+- **Process Management**: Kills Python processes related to the application
+- **Port Cleanup**: Stops processes on ports 8080 and 8765
+- **Nuclear Option**: Kills terminal processes running the launcher script
+- **Force Termination**: Uses SIGKILL (-9) for immediate shutdown
+- **Error Handling**: Graceful handling of missing processes
+- **User Feedback**: Clear status messages during shutdown
+
+## Testing
+- ✅ Tested on macOS (Python 3.12.5)
+- ✅ Verified shutdown script executes properly
+- ✅ Confirmed process termination on relevant ports
+- ✅ Tested platform detection logic
+- ✅ Verified backward compatibility with Windows
+- ✅ Confirmed Exit Application button works correctly
+- ✅ Tested non-blocking script execution (no deadlock)
+- ✅ Verified nuclear option kills terminal processes
+
+## Benefits
+- **macOS Support**: Enables Exit Application button on macOS
+- **Cross-Platform**: Single codebase supports Windows, macOS, and Linux
+- **User Experience**: Consistent shutdown behavior across platforms
+- **Immediate Shutdown**: Force termination prevents hanging or delays
+- **Complete Cleanup**: Nuclear option ensures all processes are terminated
+- **Maintainable**: Clean separation of platform-specific logic
+
+## Files Changed
+- `kill_aerofly_bridge.sh` - 36 lines (new file)
+- `python/udp_to_websocket.py` - 59 lines modified
+
+## Usage
+```bash
+# Make executable
+chmod +x kill_aerofly_bridge.sh
+
+# Manual execution
+./kill_aerofly_bridge.sh
+
+# Or use the Exit Application button in the web interface
+```
+
+## Integration
+- Works seamlessly with existing "Exit Application" button
+- No changes required to web interface
+- Automatic platform detection and script selection
+- Maintains existing Windows functionality
+
+## Notes
