Aaina Desktop v0.1.4

• After restoring a backup, every restored photo is treated as being in your own photos folder, whatever the backup says, and deleting a photo only ever removes that one picture file. A backup from someone else can't lead to other files being deleted.
  Builds are unsigned for now; your system may warn the first time you open the app (see the README).

Aaina Desktop v0.1.3

Safety fixes from an independent review.

• The app can only use its own folders, your photos folder (Pictures/Aaina), Downloads, and files or folders you choose or drag onto the window. It no longer has access to your whole home folder. A folder you choose stays allowed after a restart.
• Restoring a backup can't choose where files go: its photos are copied into your current photos folder, nothing already there is overwritten, and a folder that isn't a real Aaina backup is refused.
• The studio catalogue can only save files inside its own cache folder.
• Photos are always drawn again before they are sent to OpenAI, so location, camera and date details in the file are never sent.
• "New version available" only ever opens this project's release page.
• Each release now has a SHA256SUMS.txt checksum list and GitHub's signed proof of where every file was built (check one with gh attestation verify <file> -R aaina-world/aaina-desktop). A release is only built after every check passes on that exact version.
  Builds are unsigned for now; your system may warn the first time you open the app (see the README).

Aaina Desktop v0.1.2

• Windows: no more sideways scrolling when the window is small. Windows' frame and scrollbar left less room than the screens needed.
• Every release now makes a real photo on fresh Windows and Linux machines before it is published.
  Builds are unsigned for now; your system may warn the first time you open the app (see the README).

Aaina Desktop v0.1.1

• Windows: staying signed in with ChatGPT works. The sign-in is longer than one Windows keychain entry holds, so it is now kept in parts.
• Linux: if the keyring (GNOME Keyring or KWallet) isn't running or is locked, the app says so in plain words instead of showing an error code.
• Every release is now installed and clicked through on fresh Windows and Linux machines before it is published.

Builds are unsigned for now; your system may warn the first time you open the app (see the README).

Which file do I need?

System	File

Windows 10 and 11	Aaina.Desktop_0.1.0_x64-setup.exe (or the .msi)

These builds are not signed yet, so your system warns you once. Mac: open the app once, then System Settings, Privacy and Security, Open Anyway. Windows: More info, then Run anyway.

What's in it

• Shoots on a model: a product, a studio model, up to six poses and a scene, with the price shown before anything is sent.
• Ghost mannequin and flat-lay photos.
• Make again, Try again, Fix something, Other colours, and frame and expression per photo.
• Your own models (from a description, or from photos of a real adult who agrees), poses and scenes, and plain colour scenes.
• Sign in with ChatGPT for readings, your own OpenAI key for photos (about $0.05 a photo, billed by OpenAI). The key stays in your system keychain.
• Save as JPEG or PNG in marketplace shapes, marked as AI-made inside the file. A searchable shoot history, backup and restore.
• The studio catalogue kept for offline use, light and dark, and a check for new versions.

Nothing is sent to Aaina, and there is no account or tracking. If Aaina Desktop saves you a photoshoot, you can buy me a coffee.
