Magi v0.2.0
Superseded: do not install this build. v0.2.0 has an invalid macOS bundle signature. Install v0.2.1 or use
brew install --cask deepaksilaych/tap/magi.
First Magi desktop release — an Orca-based UI for multi-repo, sess-backed coding-agent workspaces.
Download
- macOS Apple Silicon:
Magi-0.2.0-arm64.dmg(recommended) or the ZIP. - Open the DMG and drag Magi into Applications.
- This first build is unsigned and unnotarized. macOS may require approval in System Settings → Privacy & Security on first launch.
- Intel Mac, Linux desktop and Windows installers are not included in this release.
Included
- Local and SSH/VM workspaces, each with a protected Genral workspace.

Updates and prerequisites
Automatic Mac installation is disabled in this unsigned build. Settings → View releases opens the manual update page. Replacing the app preserves workspace files and running sess sessions. Signed automatic installation will require a Developer ID-signed release and verification of that upgrade path.
Execution hosts need Python 3, Git and tmux; GitHub cloning/PR status needs gh. Install your coding-agent CLI separately. SSH hosts must be reachable through your existing SSH configuration.
Validation
23 backend tests, updater state tests, hidden Electron keyboard/rename/split/drag/persistence tests, packaged runtime smoke tests, and a real local-vm sess/CLI test passed. Installer sizes and SHA-512 hashes match the included update metadata. Checksums are in SHA256SUMS.txt.
Magi is an MIT-licensed fork of Orca. The sess license is included in the app resources.
