Added

  • zero ships with its own Google sign-in. New installs connect Gmail through zero's own Google client — no more creating a Google Cloud project and pasting a JSON file. The onboarding's credentials step is skipped automatically when the built-in client is present.

Changed

  • Sign-in asks for far less. zero now requests only the Gmail permission it actually uses (gmail.modify) plus your basic identity — no Drive, Calendar, Docs, Sheets, Slides, or Tasks. The consent screen is shorter and the request matches exactly what the app does.

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.
