HyperForge 0.4.0 — NAV mode, first chords, safer Hyper

HyperForge 0.4.0

Local-first Hyper Key automation for macOS — Caps → Hyper, Space-layer nav, window snaps. No cloud.

Highlights

• NAV mode — floating NAV pill + menu bar icon when Space layer is armed
• First chords challenge — prove Hyper, Space+HJKL, and a window snap in ~10 seconds (onboarding, Dashboard, Doctor)
• Space layer reliability — wall-clock arming (works under browser load), browser/shell-aware chords
• Safer Hyper + Esc — Caps-alone Escape no longer blanks the screen; real session lock instead of display sleep
• Install — ./scripts/install.sh --update re-signs with a stable id so Accessibility can stick across rebuilds

Install

1. Download HyperForge-0.4.0.dmg
2. Drag HyperForge.app → Applications
3. System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility → enable HyperForge
4. Enable Karabiner Caps → Hyper (F18 or 4-mod)
5. Menu bar flame → complete the three first chords

Requirements

• macOS 14+
• Apple Silicon (arm64 build)
• Karabiner-Elements for Caps → Hyper

Notes

• Ad-hoc signed (not notarized). Gatekeeper may warn once — right-click → Open, or allow in Settings.
• Prefer ./scripts/install.sh --update when building from source so TCC Accessibility survives rebuilds.
