Modesto 1.0.0 Aloha — Alpha Release Candidate

Aloha is the nickname. The version is 1.0.0-alpha.1. This is an Alpha Release Candidate — first public 1.0-line build. Use it. Break it. It is not a finished 1.0.

Chat and Work in one local desk. Your agents, the ones you already pay for. Modesto does not sell tokens.

Your agents. In their element.

Chat and Work

Flip Chat / Work in the composer (it locks after the first send).

  • Chat — talk first. You can send with no project open. Lives under Chats.
  • Work — the repo job. Project, branch, worktree, diffs, terminal, commits, PRs.

Beside the thread: Connections, Music, Canvas, Artifacts, Browser.

The rest of the desk

  • Pull Requests — Reviewing / Authored. Summary, Timeline, Code.
  • Agents — identities you dispatch into threads.
  • Tasks — Draft / In Progress / Done.
  • Automations — schedules and webhooks.
  • Connections — Figma, Framer, Slack, Linear, GitHub, Adobe, MCP, the usual suspects.
  • Skills & plugins — shared SKILL.md packs plus Claude plugins.
  • Right panel: Browser, Mobile Simulator, Terminal, Files, Changes, Music, Canvas, Artifacts.
  • Desktop: local, WSL, SSH. Pop-out chat. Usage clock.

On by default: Codex, Claude, Cursor, Gemini, Grok, Meta Muse Code, Kilo. Also around: OpenCode, Droid, Pi, Copilot (opt-in), Kimi/Qwen/Poolside/Devin (early), custom ACP, OpenAI-compatible routers.

There's a zip for the Mac updater too, plus SHA256SUMS.txt. No Intel Mac in this drop. Alpha RC — Gatekeeper / SmartScreen may complain. Check the sums if you're the type.

Known issues

Reconnects and partial streams can still get weird. Some Work flows (including Kanban drag-to-run) are still landing. Folder-free send is Chat, not Work. No iOS here.
