Current 1.0.0

A native macOS BitTorrent client, built on the idea that torrenting is a
background activity: quiet when nothing is happening, informative when
something is, and reversible when it acts on its own.

What it does

• A magnet asks its questions once, in the window — what it is, how big,
  which files, and where it should go, with the option to remember that answer.
• Smart Seed — four plain-language policies. Helpful keeps rare torrents
  alive past their goal.
• Every automatic decision explains itself in words. The reason is part of
  the decision, not a log line written afterwards.
• Cleanup moves files to the Trash and never deletes them, behind a strict
  gate: complete, seed goals met, not pinned, not active, healthy swarm. Rare
  swarms are excluded from automatic cleanup entirely.
• A menu bar panel with combined speeds, each transfer's progress and a
  pause button on each — the only surface available when the window is closed.
• Keyboard-first. Every mouse interaction has a keyboard path.
• Private by construction — no accounts, no analytics, no telemetry, no
  update pings, no crash reporting. No network calls beyond the torrent
  protocol itself.

Current ships no trackers, no indexes and no content sources. It has no search,
it cannot find anything, and it does not suggest anything. You bring the link.

Known limits of this first release

• There is no automatic updater yet. New versions have to be downloaded
  from the page above, so it is worth checking back rather than assuming this
  copy stays current.
• Apple Silicon only. There is no Intel build.
• The real-network path has had far less exercise than the rest of the app;
  most development ran against a built-in simulator. If something misbehaves
  against a live swarm, please open an issue.
