Fixed

  • The panel opens under the menu-bar icon on first launch. The very first time you opened zero it could appear floating in the middle of the screen instead of tucked under its icon; clicking the icon afterwards always placed it correctly. The first open happened before macOS had finished putting the icon in the menu bar, so there was nothing to anchor to yet. zero now waits for the icon to land, then opens beneath it.

Changed

  • Steadier panel background. The panel could look almost see-through over a light window behind it and noticeably more solid over a dark one. The surface is firmer now, so it reads consistently whatever is behind it, while keeping its glassy feel.

Installing

Requires macOS 26 (Tahoe, Apple Silicon). zero is signed ad-hoc, not notarized by
Apple, so a downloaded copy is quarantined and Gatekeeper refuses to launch it —
expected for a source-available app. The quarantine flag must be removed once.

Easiest — one command does everything (installs prerequisites, removes the
quarantine flag, launches):

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/drewling/zero/master/macapp/install-zero.sh | bash

By hand: open the DMG, drag zero to Applications, then in Terminal:

/usr/bin/xattr -cr /Applications/zero.app

Use the full /usr/bin/xattr path — a Python or Homebrew xattr earlier in your
PATH may not support the recursive flag and will silently fail, leaving the app
blocked. (On macOS 26 the old right-click → Open trick no longer works for
ad-hoc-signed apps.)

Full setup (Google + Claude CLIs, first run) is in the README.
