v0.3.0 — first public release
A personal AI agent that lives on your Mac and talks to you over iMessage or the built-in Chat window. Self-hosted: memory, browser sessions, and credentials stay on the machine; only the model call leaves.
Install (macOS, Apple Silicon):
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Yeachan-Heo/openinstinct/main/scripts/install-remote.sh | sh
Highlights
- Setup lives in the menu bar: the checklist verifies each step itself and refuses to run on your own Apple ID.
- Chat window works without iMessage; iMessage is an optional lane.
- Background tasks are conversational: steer or cancel them mid-flight; failures get triaged by the agent.
- Self-update from the panel: it checks GitHub daily and offers "Update to vX.Y.Z".
- No code signing needed — see the website for why a curl install skips Gatekeeper.
Archive checksum is in the .sha256 sidecar; the installer refuses a mismatch.
