Conn v0.7.0 (preview)
Pre-release
Conn v0.7.0
Preview / prerelease. Conn gives a human and an agent one shared shell with
visible control handoff, command approval, and a combined collaboration timeline.
These binaries are built by CI; a green build is not a claim of full manual
validation on every operating system.

Installers include the app and its Conn CLI sidecar; Rust and Node.js are not
required to use these binaries. Windows preview installers are unsigned, so a
SmartScreen or unknown-publisher prompt may appear. Native CLI startup is checked
in CI; full interactive GUI installation/collaboration checks remain pending.
New in this release
- Agents observe the owner's actual terminal viewport, including scroll position, masks and PNG snapshots. Hidden or stale surfaces pause observation and execution.
- Start or stop sharing the same running shell/SSH connection with selected agents. The human keeps control until granting it; stopping sharing keeps the shell alive.
- Add themes and opt-in OpenAI command suggestions backed by OS credential storage. Suggestions insert only after acceptance; execution remains separate.
- Record sharing boundaries without retroactively saving private input. Retire headless/proxy startup, unattended Entrust and public owner-control commands.
Upgrade together: protocol v2 requires the matching app and CLI/MCP adapter.
After installing, restart your MCP clients. Existing files, profiles and saved activity
remain; running shell sessions close during app restart and are not migrated.
Agents reconnecting with the same name do not inherit explicitly selected access.
v0.6.0 installations can discover this preview through the signed updater. Older
clients need a manual install. Updates support Apple Silicon macOS, Windows x64
and Linux AppImage; Debian packages use package-manager/manual updates. Installation
and restart remain your choice. Full installed-app upgrade coverage on every target
is not claimed by artifact signature checks.
한국어: 사람이 실제 보는 화면을 에이전트와 공유하고, 같은 셸·SSH 연결에서 공유를
켜고 끌 수 있습니다. 테마와 선택형 OpenAI 명령 제안을 추가했습니다. 자동완성은
기본 비활성이며 수락해도 텍스트만 삽입합니다. 앱·CLI를 함께 업데이트하고 MCP
클라이언트를 재시작하세요. 파일·설정·저장 기록은 유지하며 실행 중인 셸은 앱 재시작
시 종료됩니다. v0.6.0은 서명 업데이트를 사용할 수 있고 이전 버전은 직접 설치하세요.
Native validation and remaining coverage
The actual Apple Silicon development app passed visible text/PNG, hidden/masked
synthetic authentication, AppleScript launch, same-SSH sharing, human takeover,
Keychain save/delete and live-lease focus/minimization guards. See the
macOS acceptance report.
Native WebKit completion fixtures passed; a real OpenAI request remains unverified.
The real-user provider path stays opt-in. Development-app checks are separate from
this release's CI signing/notarization and updater artifact-signature verification.
Windows interactive GUI and full installed-app upgrades remain unverified.
AppleScript is disabled by default. Enable it for selected local profiles in Settings
and consult the automation guide.
Getting started
For a separate MCP connector, download the matching CLI for
Apple Silicon,
Windows x64 or
Linux x64.
Linux x64 assets are built on Ubuntu 24.04 and target
Ubuntu 24.04/26.04; runtime coverage of these exact assets is separate from CI.
Windows targets x64 and is intentionally unsigned for this preview; a certificate
is not a release prerequisite. SmartScreen or unknown-publisher prompts may appear.
macOS apps, their embedded CLI sidecars, and standalone CLIs are Developer ID
signed with hardened runtime and secure timestamps. Apple notarization is
Accepted for the final DMGs and standalone CLI submissions; app and DMG tickets
are stapled and verified. Apple does not support stapling a standalone CLI or
its archive, so its notarization ticket is retrieved online when needed.
The Apple Silicon -signing.json asset records native runner checks and final asset hashes;
it is evidence of this build, not an independent cryptographic attestation.
Intel Mac packages are paused for new releases; previously published assets remain available.
Native interactive installation and collaboration coverage remains limited for this preview.
See the platform policy.
Follow the installation guide for platform trust prompts; never disable system
protection globally.
Verify the download
Download SHA256SUMS with your selected asset. On Linux, run
sha256sum --ignore-missing -c SHA256SUMS from that directory. On macOS, compare
shasum -a 256 <asset> to the matching line; on Windows use
Get-FileHash <asset> -Algorithm SHA256. SHA-256 detects download corruption;
the checksum file is not a code-signing signature.
Before giving an agent control
Commands use your account's permissions. Conn's policy and approval UI are not
an operating-system sandbox. An “executed” record means input reached the shell,
not that the command completed successfully. Start with a disposable project.
Read the security model and
report security issues privately.
한국어: AppleScript는 기본적으로 꺼져 있습니다. 실제 Mac 개발 앱의 인증·공유·제어 전환을 검증했으며 배포 파일 서명·공증과는 구분합니다. Windows GUI와 모든 플랫폼의 실제 설치 상태 업그레이드, 실제 OpenAI 호출은 추가 검증 대상입니다.
이 릴리스는 프리뷰입니다. 명령은 사용자 계정 권한으로 실행되며, 승인 기능은
운영체제 샌드박스가 아닙니다. 실행 기록은 입력 전달을 뜻하며 명령의 성공을 보장하지
않습니다. macOS 앱·내장 CLI·별도 CLI는 Developer ID로 서명하며 hardened runtime과
보안 타임스탬프를 검증합니다. DMG와 별도 CLI의 Apple 공증이 승인되었고 앱·DMG에는
티켓을 첨부했습니다. 별도 CLI와 아카이브에는 티켓을 첨부할 수 없어 필요 시 온라인으로
조회합니다. Apple Silicon 서명 보고서는 해당 빌드의 검증 기록이며 독립적인 암호학적 증명은 아닙니다.
새 릴리스의 Intel Mac 배포는 중단하며 기존 공개 파일은 유지합니다.
Windows 프리뷰는 무서명으로 배포하며 인증서가 필수 조건은 아닙니다. Linux는
Ubuntu 24.04 빌드를 24.04·26.04 대상으로 제공합니다. CI에서 각 운영체제의 별도 CLI
시작을 확인하며, 네이티브 GUI 설치·협업의 전체 대화형 검증은 아직 완료되지 않았습니다.
