Loupist 0.1.1-rc.1 (Beta)

Loupist 0.1.1-rc.1 (Beta)

Loupist is a local-first financial research desktop app for macOS 13 or newer on Apple Silicon. It never trades.

Download: Loupist-macOS-arm64.dmg (below).
First launch: this Beta is not notarized by Apple. macOS blocks the first launch: close the warning
with OK (macOS 13 and 14) or Done (macOS 15 and later; not Move to Trash), then allow it once in
System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway. The warning's "This software needs to be updated"
is macOS's wording for any app that is not notarized; it does not mean the download is old.
Full steps: https://github.com/loupistai/loupist/blob/main/installation.md
After updating: until Loupist is signed with an Apple Developer ID, macOS asks once for your login
password for each saved Data connection key after every update ("Loupist wants to access key
‘com.monarchjuno.loupist.finance’ in your keychain"). Enter your Mac login password and click
Always Allow; it does not ask again for that key until the next update. Deny leaves the key saved but
locked, shown in Settings → Data connections with Try again.

What's in it

• Introduce Loupist, a local-first financial research desktop app for macOS 13 or newer on Apple Silicon. Windows, Intel Macs and Linux are not supported in this release.
• Connect an AI account with a supported provider API key or sign-in; no Loupist account or cloud sync is required.
• Read filings, market data and economic series through read-only Data connections, including OpenBB, OpenDART, KRX and Korea Investment.
• Keep each Loupist’s research sessions, retained Sources, Map, Lens, research notes and Journal in its own local folder, which can be copied and reopened.
• Find Bot, Following, Map, Lens and Schedule in the sidebar; Following brings followed assets, holdings import, Watch-for choices and recent alerts together.
• Follow assets without starting automatic checks; Watch all turns on class defaults, and Watching offers Pause/Resume and Check now without AI usage.
• Teach principles and develop reusable methods in Lens, with editable pages, dated revision comparisons and evidence; open Sources, Journal and Notes separately in the Library.
• Look around before connecting an AI account, go Back during setup, and choose a template and name, then change avatar and tone later in settings; Bot keeps a three-step checklist for following, teaching a principle and turning on a briefing.
• Run numerical analysis in a pinned offline Python worker with no shell, network, process spawning or host environment; read and edit research files in the selected folder and open results beside Chat.
• Open Private chat from the composer’s + menu to skip Memory reads and saves together; chat history is still saved and messages still go to the AI provider.
• Run scheduled research and briefings while the app is open or in the menu bar; inspect runs, pause or resume tasks, Run now, and delete custom tasks from Schedule.
• Retry recurring briefings at their next occurrence before pausing after three consecutive failures; a successful run clears the streak, and missing AI credentials pause immediately.
• Read bundled Skills and their references again without allowing changes to them; built-in tools need no loading step, while Data connections keep their grants.
• Update the local SQLite database engine with its security fix, refuse sharing when a required saved-credential scan fails, and save AI API keys through private process input instead of a process environment.
• Beta. Deliver a Mac installer signed with Loupist's own certificate and not notarized by Apple, so the first launch needs a one-time approval in System Settings; updates are signed with the Loupist updater key, install only with consent, and are refused unless the package names the version in its feed. Compatible database upgrades make a private backup and leave unsupported formats unchanged.
• License the app under AGPL-3.0-only; Loupist never trades, offers no trading execution, and is not a licensed adviser.

Signing and verification

• Code signature: Loupist's own self-signed certificate, SHA-256 442CD7BF39BD3866E5B72565375E013D2D1E3643976307761CE6E40A78EB5B8F. Not an Apple Developer ID. Not notarized.
• Updates: signed with the Loupist updater key and installed only after you confirm.
• Checksums: SHA256SUMS. Build provenance: gh attestation verify <file> --repo loupistai/loupist.
• RELEASE-METADATA.json records the source commit, the workflow run and the signing mode.

This is a release candidate for testing; it has not yet been qualified for stable publication.
