What's new

  • A new first run. One question: set Prometheus up on this Mac, or join a computer that already runs it. On a Mac, setting it up is one click: Beacon downloads the notarized Prometheus app, checks it, puts it in Applications, starts it and connects.
  • Sign in with OpenRouter. The recommended way to choose how your assistant thinks, with no key to copy. Keys from Anthropic or OpenAI can still be pasted under "Other options".
  • More than one computer, over TLS. Turn on the home network in Settings → Other computers. Beacon holds each home-network Prometheus to the key it first met, and lists only computers that really answer.
  • Encrypted-only home-network joins. A new connection to a computer on your home network is always encrypted. Tailscale and this Mac work as before, and a saved older connection keeps working with a notice.
  • Worker cards. See your assistant's workers as cards, approve a worker's step once, and pick the worker model in Settings.

macOS: app and disk image signed, notarized and stapled (Developer ID). Linux: AppImage and deb are not signed.
