+# Console parity: App Store Connect and Play Console in the desktop app
+
+The desktop app (apps/desktop, [desktop.md](desktop.md)) is meant to replace App Store Connect and Play Console for
+everything storebound can read or write. This page lists every owner-editable thing in the two consoles that the CLI
+covers, and what the desktop does with it.
+
+Columns:
+
+- **storebound**: the command that reads or writes it, and where the value lives (the source of truth in the app
+  folder: `storebound.config.ts`, `store/listing.md`, `store/appstore.md`, `.storebound/`).
+- **View**: the desktop shows the current value.
+- **Edit**: the desktop edits it in place (validation, unsaved-changes guard, undo) and saves it into the source file.
+- **Store write**: the desktop writes it to the store (dry run in the window, native confirm dialog, then the real
+  run; owner-only steps through the owner-action dialog).
+- **Gap**: what is missing, or why a cell stays "no" on purpose.
+
+Status: **audit before the editors (2026-10-14)**. Every row whose CLI can write the value but the desktop cannot edit
+it is a gap. Phase 2 closes them; this table is updated with the result.
