Task Monki v0.2.0-alpha.1

Task Monki v0.2.0-alpha.1

Task Monki's second experimental alpha expands the original Codex-focused task board into a multi-provider local workspace for parallel coding-agent work.

This remains an unsigned alpha release. Use it only with repositories you can recover from backups or Git history, and review changes before shipping them.

Highlights

• Added first-class support for Codex App Server, OpenCode, Cursor Agent ACP, Grok Build ACP, and the experimental Claude ACP bridge.
• Added isolated local previews for task worktrees, including reviewable preview recipes, native services, Docker Compose, managed dependencies, logs, and readiness checks.
• Added Discourse conversations in Direct, Panel, and Team modes for repository-aware questions and independent agent perspectives.
• Redesigned repository navigation, task creation, task detail, settings, runtime readiness, and evidence surfaces.
• Improved agent review, follow-up, Git metadata, workflow recovery, and runtime lifecycle reliability.
• Added an MIT license, maintainable third-party notices, and packaged Electron, Chromium, and OpenAI Codex legal files.

Requirements

• Git installed and available on PATH, or configured in Settings.
• At least one installed and authenticated supported agent runtime.
• GitHub CLI is optional and is needed only for branch publishing, pull requests, and GitHub checks.
• Docker is optional and is needed only for previews that use managed services or Docker Compose.

Task Monki does not bundle these command-line tools. Custom executable paths can be configured in Settings.

Downloads

macOS

• Apple silicon: Task-Monki-0.2.0-alpha.1-mac-arm64.dmg

macOS unsigned alpha

This alpha is ad-hoc signed for bundle integrity, but it is not Apple Developer ID signed or notarized. If macOS blocks the app:

1. Try opening Task Monki.app once.
2. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security.
3. Scroll to Security.
4. Click Open Anyway for Task Monki.
5. Confirm with your password or Touch ID.

Apple says Open Anyway is available for about an hour after the first blocked launch. See Apple's guide to opening an app from an unknown developer.

If Open Anyway does not appear, or Task Monki starts without showing a window, quit Task Monki and run:

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/Task Monki.app"
open "/Applications/Task Monki.app"

Windows

• Task-Monki-0.2.0-alpha.1-win-x64.exe

The installer is not code-signed, so Windows may show an unknown-publisher or SmartScreen warning.

Linux

• AppImage: Task-Monki-0.2.0-alpha.1-linux-x86_64.AppImage
• Debian/Ubuntu: Task-Monki-0.2.0-alpha.1-linux-amd64.deb

AppImage users may need to make the downloaded file executable before launching it.

Important alpha notes

• Builds are unsigned. macOS is not Developer ID signed or notarized; Windows is not code-signed.
• Windows and Linux support remains experimental and is less extensively tested than macOS.
• There is no automatic updater or package-manager distribution yet. Updates are manual.
• Task Monki can run local processes and Git operations and can publish branches or create draft pull requests when explicitly requested.
• Interfaces and stored-data formats may still change during the alpha period.

See the installation and first-launch guide for platform-specific setup, runtime configuration, preview requirements, and recovery guidance.

Task Monki v0.1.0-alpha.1

Task Monki v0.1.0-alpha.1

Experimental first alpha release of Task Monki, a local desktop task board for running Codex coding work in isolated Git worktrees.

This is an unsigned alpha build. Use it only with repositories you can recover from backups or Git history, and review changes before shipping them.

Highlights

• Run Codex tasks in isolated Git worktrees from a local desktop board.
• Inspect progress, commands, diffs, Git evidence, and provider activity.
• Continue, steer, interrupt, review, and request follow-up changes.
• Attach supported images and text-like files through a task-owned, path-free storage boundary.
• Create commits and optional draft pull requests with locally verified Git and GitHub state.

Requirements

• Git installed and available on PATH, or configured in Settings.
• Codex CLI 0.141.0 or newer, installed and authenticated, with the required App Server capabilities.
• GitHub CLI is optional and is needed only for branch publishing and pull-request features.

Task Monki does not bundle these command-line tools. Custom executable paths can be configured in Settings.
