Support

How to get help with Scarf (macOS) or ScarfGo (iOS), report a bug, request a feature, or disclose a security issue. This page is the Support URL Apple's App Store reviewer follows — it's intentionally simple and link-heavy so anyone landing here from the App Store finds what they need without scrolling.

I'm having trouble using the app

Start with the troubleshooting docs — most issues match a known cause.

Symptom Page to check
ScarfGo can't connect to my Hermes host ScarfGo Onboarding → Troubleshooting
Mac Scarf can't reach a remote server Servers & Remote
Chat hangs or shows "Spinning forever" Chat → Troubleshooting + Slow Chat Startup
Skills hub Browse is empty Hermes Version Compatibility — usually a v2.5+ Citadel exec channel issue, fixed in 2.5
TestFlight says "this beta isn't accepting any new testers" Apple's Beta Review queue is processing the latest build. See ScarfGo — bookmark the page and try again in 24–48h.
Hermes "command not found" over iOS SSH ScarfGo Onboarding — set the Hermes binary hint in the server-edit screen

Bug reports

GitHub Issues is the canonical bug tracker:

github.com/awizemann/scarf/issues

Tag your issue with the right component so it gets routed:

  • component: scarf — Mac app bugs.
  • component: scarfgo — iOS app bugs.
  • component: scarfcore — shared package bugs (services, models, transport).
  • component: design-system — ScarfDesign tokens / components.
  • component: templates.scarftemplate install / uninstall / catalog issues.
  • component: docs — wiki / README / release-notes corrections.

Include in every report:

  • Scarf version: Settings → General → About (Mac) / System tab → Server section (iOS).
  • Hermes version: hermes --version on the host.
  • macOS / iOS version.
  • Steps to reproduce.
  • Relevant log snippet from ~/.hermes/logs/errors.log (filter sensitive content first).

Feature requests

Same place, different tag:

  • feature: scarf / feature: scarfgo / etc.

Include the use case ("I want to do X because Y") and ⭐ the issue if you'd use the proposed feature — star count is a real input to prioritization.

TestFlight feedback (ScarfGo only)

Open ScarfGo → take a screenshot → use the Send Beta Feedback button TestFlight overlays on your screenshot. The screenshot + your text go straight to the developer along with device + iOS version metadata. This is the right channel for TestFlight build issues (crashes, layout glitches on a specific device, missing strings).

For non-TestFlight-build issues (architectural feature requests, Mac↔iOS parity gaps), GitHub Issues is still the right place.

Security issues

Do not open public GitHub issues for security disclosures. Instead:

I'll acknowledge within 48 hours and coordinate disclosure timing. Standard 90-day disclosure window applies for non-critical issues; immediate coordination for anything affecting credential storage or remote-code-execution surfaces.

Privacy

See Privacy Policy for what data the apps access and what they do not collect. Short version: nothing leaves your device or your Hermes host except over SSH connections you authorize. No analytics, no telemetry, no developer-controlled cloud.

Direct contact

Email: alan@wizemann.com

Email is for security disclosures, press / partnership inquiries, and "I tried GitHub Issues and the issue was closed but I think you missed something" situations. For everything else, the Issues tracker has more eyes on it and a better chance of someone else hitting the same problem and helping.
