SpecLens v1.0.0
First release of SpecLens - a desktop reader for OpenSpec projects.
Highlights
- Browse OpenSpec repositories - add any local folder containing an
openspec/directory; proposals, tasks, and specs render as rich markdown with GFM, Mermaid diagrams, and EARS keyword highlighting - Seven views - Overview, Changes, Specs, Flow, Graph, Timeline, and Schemas
- Git-derived attribution - created/edited bylines and timestamps come straight from repo history, with a per-repo cache for fast cold starts
- Comments - select any passage to attach a comment; unresolved/resolved workflow, quote-click jumps back to the highlighted text, persisted locally in SQLite; export as structured markdown ready to paste into an LLM conversation
- Navigate quickly - global search (⌘K), back/forward history (⌘[ / ⌘]), document zoom, and a minimap with a slide-out table of contents
- Signed and notarized macOS builds - installs and opens with no Gatekeeper warnings
- Onboarding tutorial on first launch, replayable from Settings
- About dialog - version, links, and these release notes, from the info button in the sidebar
- Customization - dark/light theme (the native window chrome follows it), drag-resizable sidebar, reading speed, highlight color, and comments panel width

.dmg), Linux x64/arm64 (.AppImage,.deb,.rpm), Windows x64 (.msi, NSIS) and arm64 (NSIS)
