Vunemi 0.2.4

Vunemi 0.2.4

New in this release

• Scheduled tasks can act in the apps and on the files you name. When you set up a task you can allow it to use named apps and files, so it finishes while you're away instead of waiting on an approval card. Settings shows what each task may touch, and you can take any of it back. Vunemi's tools for sending, deleting and paying aren't given to these tasks, and mail, messaging, browser and payment apps can't be allowed.
• Background control reaches further than Calculator and TextEdit. Vunemi can press plain buttons and change text fields in other apps without taking your mouse or keyboard. What an app exposes varies: Excel doesn't expose its cells this way, so Vunemi changes the saved file, and the app's window has to be on screen.
• The Activity log is grouped and searchable. Rows are grouped by the request that set them off, and you can search them. It had grown to hundreds of rows with no way to find one.
• Old uncertain results no longer block background documents. An uncertain result from an app that has since closed no longer stops a document from opening in the background. The record stays, and nothing is repeated.
• "Don't make a new copy" now means the same file. A request to change a Word, Excel or PowerPoint file that said not to create a new copy was read as asking for one, and the model could plan to install its own tools instead of using Vunemi's.

Tried in the installed app: a scheduled task changed an allowed file with no approval card; another pressed a button in Calculator in the background with no card and with focus and cursor unchanged; after its permission was taken back it could no longer press the button and waited for approval. A line was added to a TextEdit document in the background and saved. A Word file was replaced after approval, with the original kept in Vunemi's own folder; getting it back with Undo was not tried. Not tried in the installed app: the wait for an idle Mac before a mouse and keyboard step, and a task stopping for a missing permission, a busy app or a suspicious page. Numbers and Pages were not tested, and Word and Notes were not driven through background control. How well a request is carried out depends on the model.

Installation

Vunemi 0.1.8 and later offer this update in the sidebar and in Settings › Updates; press Update and it installs when no task or meeting is running.

From an older version, or for a first install, download Vunemi-0.2.4-arm64.dmg and drag Vunemi into Applications, choosing Replace. Your settings, models and data stay.

The app is signed but not notarized by Apple, so macOS blocks it the first time. Choose Done in the warning, open System Settings › Privacy & Security, scroll down to Security and click Open Anyway; macOS may ask for your Mac password. If there is no Open Anyway button, check in the same section that apps are allowed from the App Store and known developers, not the App Store only, then try to open the file again.

Coming from a version before 0.2.0: the vault key is read from the Keychain by a helper, so macOS may ask once for your login password when Vunemi opens: choose Always Allow. Vunemi never sees the password.

Vunemi-0.2.4-arm64.zip is what Vunemi 0.1.8 and later download to update themselves.
