Pium 0.2.0

Bookmarks. Name a link once and open it from the launcher afterwards, alongside your applications and plugins.

A bookmark is a name and somewhere to go — https://…, obsidian://, raycast://, or a path on this Mac. It can take an argument the same way a plugin does: put {{input}} in the destination, press space on it in the launcher, and what you type lands in the URL, percent-encoded. It can also name the application to open with, so a work link goes to one browser while everything else keeps going to your default.

Bookmarks live in Settings → Bookmarks. Sites are asked for their icon once per host, and the answer is kept.

Also in this release

• File search exclusions. A list you own, in Settings → Search. node_modules hides a folder of that name at any depth; ~/Developer/archive hides that exact path and everything under it; *.tmp and **/[Cc]ache/** are globs. Pium reads the shape of what you type, so the everyday cases need no pattern syntax. The built-in exclusions stay, and yours are added to them.
• An update that is waiting now says what it is waiting for. Pressing Install and Relaunch while a command was running did nothing visible, which is indistinguishable from a broken button — the install was correctly holding until the command finished. A HUD now names it: "Pium will restart into it when 'Sleep ninety seconds' finishes."

Under the hood

Plugins and bookmarks share one argument-template parser, so {{input}} and its filters mean the same thing in both. The UI test suite, which had quietly been unreachable from any scheme, runs again — it lives in a PiumUI scheme of its own now, because asking for UI automation makes macOS prompt for a password and that should not stand between anyone and the unit tests.

Installing

Download Pium-0.2.0.dmg, open it, drag Pium to Applications. Signed with a Developer ID and notarized. Requires macOS 26. Installed copies will be offered this update on their own.
