Affine IDE Beta

Affine IDE for Mac — install

Beta. Native Swift client for Affine.Earth. Same apex the browser uses — no separate backend.

RENAMED 2026-10-14 — this page was titled "Affine IDE — macOS beta". It is Affine IDE for Mac — install: how to put the Mac build of Affine IDE on a Mac. The version and the β mark stay on the download page and in the release notes.

Platform	Apple silicon · macOS 14+
Notarized	Yes — Developer ID signed, notarized and stapled by Apple; the download page states it, measured on the image

What’s new in this beta

• Study 56 — MATH, read exactly — all 12,500 MATH problems, each key and each answer the law can hold given one verdict: it closes to a whole number or a fraction of whole numbers, or it cannot close and the law says why; OpenAI's marks and printed figures beside it, labelled theirs. In 0.2.7 the stage, the Mathematics folder and the swarm read the sealed record.
• Mathematics folder — MATH's seven types → their levels → all 12,500 problems, 20 to a page
• 25 quantum courts, each drawing its own court — nine family pictures from the court's own call
• Agents window — a swarm of the IDE's own deterministic workers, never a language model; its root, affine-ide-agentd, ships inside the app beside AffineIDE, signed with the same Developer ID
• Live ADS-B on the ATC / OpenScope stage (affine.earth tracks → OpenSky failover)
• Airport-surface camera path — photographic still on the runway pane (FAA WeatherCam when available)
• Honest chrome when airports disagree — e.g. LIVE surface: KTEB (FAA) · KJFK tracks (ADS-B) · no KJFK WeatherCam site (KJFK has no public WeatherCam; PANYNJ has no free ops JPEG)
• seat KTEB / seat KJFK — one click to align tracks with the surface cam, or keep KJFK traffic with the labeled mismatch
• Domain stages that look like the tools experts already use (Mol*, OpenScope, CARTA, TDWR, …)
• Chat narration on every present / fold — what the stage is showing, in plain language
• Orbit / Pan / Zoom / residue controls on the stage; S⁴ × C⁴ dual pane where the study asks for it
• Live chrome translate (since 0.2.1) — status-bar language control; same MCP affine_translate_text as home flash.js (not a baked dictionary)

Install

1. Download AffineIDE-0.2.7.dmg.
2. Verify: shasum -a 256 ~/Downloads/AffineIDE-0.2.7.dmg — match the sha256 on the download page.
3. Open the DMG → drag Affine IDE to Applications → eject.
4. Open Affine IDE from Applications.

First studies

1. Open Study → ATC airspace — live traffic on the scope; surface cam on the right; METAR overlay; chat names the LIVE story.
2. Protein folding — Mol*-style cartoon, residue strip, Orbit/Pan/Zoom.
3. Chat stays under the stage — domain first, Affine chrome second.
4. Mathematics → Study 56 — the Key picture of all 12,500 problems; pick any problem in the folder to see its text, its key, MATH's own answer (theirs), and how the substrate answered it: it closes, with its value, or it cannot close, with its reason in the law's own sentence.

ATC camera honesty (read this)

There is no free public KJFK runway-facing JPEG without keys (FAA WeatherCam has no KJFK site; PANYNJ / jfkairport.com return no ops still). The beta shows the nearest FAA airport-surface cam (often KTEB) and refuses to call it KJFK 04L. Use seat KTEB to align airport + cam, or stay on KJFK tracks with the mismatch labeled in chat and on stage.

Where it connects

https://affine.earth/language-invariant/mcp — same door as the browser client. Peer on the mesh; no telemetry endpoint.

Live chrome translate (parity with home)

Same mechanism as the site language pills / flash.js: English chrome is the sealed source; pick a language in the status-bar control; batches go to MCP affine_translate_text; nulls stay English. Menus, Orbit/Pan/Zoom strip, chat placeholders, study-rail chrome, and narration chrome flash live. Domain data (ALGL bodies, ADS-B callsigns, ICAO seats) is not invented into another language. In-session memo only — no baked per-language dictionary as the primary path.

Gaps vs full site DOM parity: AppKit has no MutationObserver walk of every text node; only registered chrome slots reflash. Right-rail domain board utterances and live track lists stay domain data by design.

Check the signature

codesign -dv --verbose=2 /Applications/AffineIDE.app
codesign -dv --verbose=2 /Applications/AffineIDE.app/Contents/MacOS/affine-ide-agentd
xcrun stapler validate /Applications/AffineIDE.app

Do not strip quarantine or disable Gatekeeper; the app opens with both in place.
