v1.7.3
GDD.Desktop — the GUI comes to Linux & macOS 🐧 🍎
This release ships GDD.Desktop, a native desktop app (Avalonia) that brings GDD's live thumbnail grid to Linux and macOS — the counterpart to the Windows WPF app. Grab GDD-Desktop-Linux, GDD-Desktop-macOS-ARM, or GDD-Desktop-macOS-Intel below.
Highlights
- A GUI on every platform — click a thumbnail to bring that browser on-screen and drive it by hand; close its window to send it back to the grid. It runs its own MCP server on port 9800, so it sits happily next to the headless Server on 9700.
- Desktop screens in the "+ Add" menu — Laptop HD/HiDPI and Desktop 1080p/1440p/4K presets, plus a per-device picker.
- Native bundles — built on real Linux and macOS runners, so each one ships the correct Playwright driver and runs out of the box (the old Windows-cross-compiled macOS builds were missing it).
Fixes
- Clear "missing required parameter" errors instead of a cryptic dictionary exception.
- The registered MCP URL now updates when the port changes.
- Smoother first run on macOS/Linux (no more
pwsh-not-found during Chromium install).
