Fixed

  • The panel reads the same over any window behind it. The graphite that darkens the panel was layered beneath the frosted-glass effect, so a bright window behind it showed straight through and washed the panel and its text out to near-invisible, while over a dark window it looked solid. The tint now sits above the glass, so the panel is the same readable dark surface whatever is behind it, light or dark, with just a hint of glass shimmer.
  • First launch opens under the menu-bar icon, every time. The very first open could still land in the bottom-left corner: the check that decided the icon was ready accepted its not-yet-placed position at the screen origin. zero now waits until the icon is genuinely in the menu bar before opening beneath it, and never drops the panel into a corner.

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.
