What's Changed

[0.9.0] - 2026-09-18

Heka comes to the Mac. Everything you already know from the Windows app is
here — the same quiet background scheduler, now as a proper Mac application.

Added

• macOS support. A universal app for Apple Silicon and Intel Macs,
  installed by dragging it into Applications from a DMG.
• Menu-bar control. The familiar Heka menu — Open, Run Task, Active Jobs,
  Recent Runs, Pause, Quit — now lives in the Mac menu bar.
• Starts with your Mac, and stays started. Turn on login start, and a
  background watchdog quietly brings Heka back if it ever crashes. A clean
  stop stays stopped.
• Notifications that look like Heka. macOS toasts now carry the Heka icon
  instead of a generic system one.
• A real terminal CLI. Flip one switch in Settings and heka becomes
  available in any new terminal, so heka run, heka logs, and the rest work
  exactly as they do on Windows.

Fixed

• No more phantom second icon in the Mac Dock while the background daemon is
  running.
