BreadPilot v0.2.0: The Desktop App

BreadPilot is now a desktop app for macOS, Windows and Linux. No Docker, no database
server, no terminal: download, open, and describe your first project.

Downloads

File For
BreadPilot-0.2.0-arm64.dmg Mac with Apple silicon (M1 or newer)
BreadPilot-0.2.0-x64.dmg Intel Mac (not tested yet)
BreadPilot-0.2.0-Setup.exe Windows 10 and 11, 64-bit
BreadPilot-0.2.0-x86_64.AppImage Linux, 64-bit Intel/AMD
SHA256SUMS.txt Checksums to verify your download

What's new

  • Desktop app. Everything runs inside one app: the database, the documentation search and the
    code checks. Your projects are saved encrypted on your computer.
  • First-run setup and a guided tour. BreadPilot checks Ollama, downloads the AI models with one
    click and shows you around.
  • Settings. Add your own OpenAI key (only ever sent to OpenAI, shown as its last 4 characters),
    pick the local AI models and how long they stay in memory.
  • Safe key storage. The key to your projects is kept by your operating system: the macOS login
    keychain, Windows' protection for your user account, or your Linux keyring.
  • Better breadboard layouts. Parts go on both halves of the breadboard (twice as many fit), and
    wires are spread so neighbouring wires don't crowd each other.

Install

macOS (macOS 15 Sequoia and newer)

  1. Open the .dmg and drag BreadPilot into Applications.
  2. Open BreadPilot. macOS says it could not verify the app: click Done (not Move to Trash).
  3. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway next to BreadPilot.
  4. Click Open. From then on BreadPilot opens normally.

On macOS 14 and older: right-click BreadPilot → Open → Open. BreadPilot isn't signed with a
paid Apple Developer ID yet, which is why macOS asks once.

Windows

  1. Run BreadPilot-0.2.0-Setup.exe and install (no administrator rights needed).
  2. If Windows says "Windows protected your PC", click More info → Run anyway. BreadPilot isn't
    signed with a paid code-signing certificate yet.

Linux

chmod +x BreadPilot-0.2.0-x86_64.AppImage
./BreadPilot-0.2.0-x86_64.AppImage

If it doesn't start, install FUSE: sudo apt install libfuse2 (Ubuntu 24.04: libfuse2t64).
BreadPilot keeps its key in your keyring (GNOME Keyring or KWallet); without one it doesn't save an
OpenAI key.

Then: install Ollama for the free local AI, or add an OpenAI key
in ⚙ Settings.

Verify your download

shasum -a 256 -c SHA256SUMS.txt     # macOS
sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS.txt         # Linux

On Windows (PowerShell), compare the result with the line in SHA256SUMS.txt:

Get-FileHash .\BreadPilot-0.2.0-Setup.exe

Known limitations

  • The Intel Mac build hasn't been tested yet.
  • Upgrading from 0.1.0: the web version's projects (Docker) aren't moved into the desktop app.
