v0.1.7
What's new
Auto-update
The app now updates itself — no more re-downloading DMGs for every release:
- Checks for new versions in the background (10s after launch, then every 2 hours); updates download automatically
- A circular progress button appears in the tab bar while downloading — click Restart & install when it's ready
- Manual check available in Settings → About → Check for updates
- Updates install in-place without triggering Gatekeeper, so future releases skip macOS' download warnings entirely
Ad-hoc signing on macOS
Builds are now ad-hoc signed end-to-end. Gatekeeper no longer reports the app as "damaged" (which had no bypass and forced the xattr -cr terminal command after every install). Instead macOS shows the regular unidentified developer dialog, which is bypassable with a right-click → Open on first launch of each version.
Download
| Platform | File |
|---|---|
| macOS (Apple Silicon) | pi-desktop-mac-arm64.dmg |
| macOS (Intel) | pi-desktop-mac-x64.dmg |
| Windows | pi-desktop-windows-x64.exe (installer) or pi-desktop-windows-x64.zip |
Ad-hoc signed (no Developer ID). On macOS, if Gatekeeper blocks the app, right-click it and choose Open (or run
xattr -cr "/Applications/Pi Desktop.app"as a fallback). Windows may still show a SmartScreen prompt — click "More info" → "Run anyway".
