✨ One-click self-update

Ask can now update itself. Settings → Look & behavior → Version & updates checks GitHub for a newer release, shows the changelog, and updates with one button — it downloads the DMG, swaps the app in place (with a backup-and-restore safety net), and relaunches on the new version. No manual drag, no Gatekeeper nag.

This is the first version with the updater. Install Ask-0.5.0.dmg manually this once; every release after this updates in-app.

🐛 Fixes

  • Modals now work in the packaged app. Settings, Export plan, Tag project, and the shortcuts sheet open, close, and are fully interactive. (DaisyUI's open/close state transitions didn't apply in the packaged WKWebView, leaving dialogs invisible / stuck / click-through — now driven by static, deterministic styles.)
  • Frontend runs fully offline. Tailwind / DaisyUI / Alpine / marked / highlight.js are bundled into the app instead of fetched from a CDN, so the UI is interactive instantly and works with no network.

📦 Install

Download Ask-0.5.0.dmg, open it, drag Ask to Applications. First launch: right-click → Open (unsigned app).
