Mission Lite

Mission Lite is the free, open-source Focus edition of Mission. It keeps one useful move visible, stores progress receipts locally, and gives you a calm place to think without gaining authority over your accounts.

What the beta includes

• the /focus desktop experience: Today, Progress, and Chat
• one current focus and a small local progress history
• deterministic local text and file intake
• local JSON state and append-only JSONL receipts
• a read-only release check against gomission.app

Mission Lite does not send email, publish, purchase, modify cloud services, connect third-party accounts, or run autonomous agents. Those capabilities belong to paid Mission plans and remain approval-gated.

Run it

Node.js 20 or newer is required.

npx @gomission/mission-lite@beta

Or from source:

npm install
npm start -- --workspace /path/to/your/workspace

The server binds only to 127.0.0.1. Data is written to mission-lite-data/ inside the workspace you select.

Releases and updates

GitHub Releases are the canonical source for artifacts and checksums. The app's Check updates control reads the HTTPS release feed at https://gomission.app/releases/latest.json; it never installs software automatically. The beta feed is not yet cryptographically signed. See releases/README.md.

Contributing

See CONTRIBUTING.md. Security issues should be reported using SECURITY.md, not a public issue.

Anonymous Lite feedback reporting

Mission Lite sends anonymized, opt-out telemetry from the local app so free users can shape how Mission evolves (with no workspace text content included).

The default CLI launch settings enable this reporting, using:

• MISSION_LITE_FEEDBACK_ENABLED (default: 1, set to 0/false to disable)
• MISSION_LITE_FEEDBACK_ENDPOINT (default: https://gomission.app/api/v1/mission-lite/feedback)
• MISSION_LITE_FEEDBACK_BATCH (default: 25)
• MISSION_LITE_FEEDBACK_FLUSH_MS (default: 700)
• MISSION_LITE_VERSION or MISSION_LITE_BUILD_VERSION
• MISSION_LITE_BUILD / MISSION_LITE_BUILD_TAG / MISSION_LITE_BUILD_ID
• MISSION_LITE_CHANNEL
• MISSION_LITE_FEEDBACK_HEADER_<UPPERCASE_NAME> (for any additional x-<lowercase_name> pass-through header)

Events are queued in mission-lite-data/feedback-events.jsonl and retried until successful.

No message text, prompt content, or attachment payload bytes are included in feedback events.
