Perch 0.2.1 — One window at a time

Fixes the connection window and menu panel appearing together.

• Opening the bird menu hides the connection window.
• Returning to setup preserves the fields you have typed.
• Opening Settings cancels a queued menu-panel presentation.
• The Connect this Mac action stays in the fixed top bar.

Download the universal DMG below for macOS 13+ on Apple silicon or Intel. No Node.js runtime is required. Quit the previous app, then replace Perch.app in Applications.

Developer preview: ad-hoc signed, not Developer ID signed or notarized by Apple. macOS may block it from opening. Do not disable Gatekeeper. A SHA-256 checksum is included for download integrity.

Connect only to your own configured Perch server. The project’s public website is not a shared monitoring service. The native setup does not create Google or Redis accounts. Stop an older Terminal agent before connecting the native app.

Locally verified: menu/setup switching, setup draft preservation, and the updated download links. Real Mini heartbeat interruption/recovery and login-item relaunch remain unverified.
