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.

Downloads

macOS

  • Apple silicon: Task-Monki-0.1.0-alpha.1-mac-arm64.dmg
  • Intel: Task-Monki-0.1.0-alpha.1-mac-x64.dmg

ZIP archives are also attached for both architectures.

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 there is no Open Anyway button, or Task Monki starts but no window appears, quit the stuck Task Monki process and run:

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

Windows

  • Task-Monki-0.1.0-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-0.1.0-alpha.1-linux-x86_64.AppImage
  • Debian/Ubuntu: Task-Monki-0.1.0-alpha.1-linux-amd64.deb

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

Checksums

  • SHA256SUMS-macOS.txt
  • SHA256SUMS-Windows.txt
  • SHA256SUMS-Linux.txt

Important alpha notes

  • Builds are unsigned. macOS is not Developer ID signed or notarized; Windows is not code-signed.
  • There is no automatic updater or package-manager distribution yet.
  • Updates are manual: download and install a newer release when available.
  • Task Monki can run local commands and, when explicitly requested, create commits, push branches, and open draft pull requests.

See the installation and first-launch guide for platform-specific instructions and recovery guidance.
