Pastrix 1.4.0 — icons for your pinboards, easier installs

Make each pinboard recognizable

Right-click a pinboard and choose Choose Icon for shortcuts such as Star, Briefcase, and Lightbulb. Choose More Icons… or Edit Pinboard… to browse a colored, categorized grid and search by name or keywords. Keep a Color Dot if you prefer a simpler tab.

Existing pinboard names, colors, icons, and dot choices are preserved. New boards start with a pin icon. The demo shows a star for Favorites, a briefcase for Work, and a lightbulb for Ideas. Choosing Color Dot now correctly clears a previously saved icon.

Install your way

brew install --cask davidgrossman/pastrix/pastrix

The project-maintained Homebrew tap verifies the versioned DMG’s checksum and installs the app. It is separate from Homebrew’s main cask catalog. Quit the app before upgrades, then run brew update and brew upgrade --cask davidgrossman/pastrix/pastrix.

The release also includes a drag-to-Applications DMG, ZIP, and SHA-256 files. The installation guide covers upgrades from manual installs, uninstallation without erasing history, verified Terminal downloads, source builds, and a copyable prompt for Claude Code, Codex, or other agents. The README and project site put these choices up front.

Requirements and limits

Apple Silicon, macOS 14+. This preview remains ad-hoc signed and not notarized. Use macOS’s per-app Open Anyway flow if blocked. No installer disables Gatekeeper, removes quarantine, starts clipboard capture, or grants Accessibility.

The public download remains local-only. The CloudKit implementation still requires Apple provisioning and live two-Mac validation. iPhone/iPad companions, a native CLI/MCP interface, Developer ID distribution, and a signed in-app updater are future work.

Validation

90 automated tests pass with isolated fixtures. Release packaging verifies signatures, archive integrity, checksums, and the read-only DMG layout. Homebrew style and audit checks pass; installation into an isolated app directory was verified without launching the installed copy or accessing real history. See validation details.
