Afternote Local 2.0.0-alpha.25

Afternote Local Alpha 25

One encrypted note vault on your Mac, shared through separately authorized connections to Codex, Claude Code, and Claude Desktop. Save something deliberately, then recall it in a later conversation with a reference to the saved note.

Download and install

Download afternote-local-2.0.0-alpha.25-darwin-arm64.dmg and SHA256SUMS below. Requires Apple Silicon and macOS 13.3 or newer. No Afternote account is required. This is an early alpha, not a stable 2.0 release.

From the folder containing both files, run shasum -a 256 -c SHA256SUMS. Open the DMG, drag Afternote to Applications, eject the image, and open Afternote from Applications. Existing users should export their notes before upgrading and quit Afternote before replacing the app. Do not uninstall or reset the vault to upgrade.

First-run and connector instructions · Release verification

Changes since the previous public Alpha 22

• Centered Connections layout, aligned action columns, and quieter repair controls.
• Explicit ownership for native connection rendering, note editing, retrieval state, schema upgrades, audit-history reads, and broker request routing, with focused behavioral tests.
• Fresh owner-approved reconnect preparation for all three supported hosts. Revoked identities, grants, and sessions remain revoked.
• A durable Reconnect prepared state that survives refresh and app relaunch until the replacement pairs. Failed or delayed status replies cannot re-enable duplicate preparation.
• Clear instructions to finish reconnecting in the AI host, plus expanded first-run and verification documentation.

Verification and limits

The exact release artifact passed Developer ID signing, Apple notarization, stapling, Gatekeeper assessment, and checksum/image verification. Release gates passed: 596 tests, 9 explicit skips, zero failures; the separate 10,000-note performance gate; dependency audit; and 19 package lifecycle checks. The founder also completed the reconnect acceptance workflow on a second Mac. This is not independent security certification.

Exact and date-aware retrieval are the defaults. Local semantic retrieval is optional. The vault and search run on your Mac, but recalled text is returned to the connected AI host and may be processed by its provider. Signed update checks and explicitly requested model downloads use the network. No browser, Slack, Windows, or Intel Mac support is included.
