tmac 0.2.0

tmac 0.2.0 — first public release

Terminal-first, MCP-controllable macOS VM control plane for Linux.

Highlights

• Attach an already-running QEMU/Reims VM by QMP socket: tmac attach.
• MCP over stdio with 8 tools: screenshot, click, move, drag, scroll, type, key, status.
• External VMs remain owned by their hypervisor; tmac start/stop refuse lifecycle changes.
• Preserved macOS Monterey QEMU/QMP workflow and Linux terminal viewer.
• Reproducible Tahoe 26.6.2 / Reims vGPU evidence at 1024×768.
• Packaging, CI, issue/PR templates, security and legal notices.

Install

python3 -m venv .venv
. .venv/bin/activate
python -m pip install 'tmac-linux[mcp]'   # once published to PyPI; otherwise install from this repo
tmac --help

The GitHub release wheel is built from this tag. The CLI and project are named tmac; the Python
distribution is tmac-linux because tmac is already used on PyPI.

Known limits

• Tahoe at 1024×768 on the tested 4 GiB GPU; higher modes can exhaust host Vulkan memory.
• The MCP surface is GUI computer use; app build/test CI is not yet demonstrated.
• x86_64 macOS only; Apple-silicon parity is out of scope.
• Apple licensing and third-party licenses require review before commercial or hosted use.
• macOS, installers, VM disks, OSK, and Apple binaries are not included.
