Nimrod Desktop 1.1.1

Nimrod Desktop 1.1.1 — hardening release

Security and robustness fixes from a full internal review (no feature changes):

• Provider network-error messages are now guaranteed to never include request URLs.
• research_topic accepts at most 5 focus_areas per call (extras are ignored); the tool description and pricing docs already reflected 1 credit per search.
• On macOS/Linux, ~/.nimrod/config.toml (which stores your API key) is now written with 600 permissions.
• Releases now include SHA256SUMS.txt so you can verify downloads.

Everything else is identical to v1.1.0: six research skills, deep-research agent, search-coach hooks (Claude Code), free local extraction, metered search with your key from https://nimrod.orchis.ai/portal.

Nimrod Desktop 1.1.0 — hooks, macOS, and Linux

The full research toolkit, now on every desktop platform:

• New: search-coach hooks. Two Claude Code hooks install automatically — search-craft fires before every google_search and research-scope before every research_topic, injecting query-crafting and scoping guidance so every metered call is a considered one. Registered and removed cleanly in ~/.claude/settings.json; your existing hooks are never touched.
• New: macOS build — nimrod-desktop-macos is a universal binary (Apple Silicon + Intel). chmod +x it, then run xattr -d com.apple.quarantine nimrod-desktop-macos once (not yet Apple-signed).
• New: Linux build — nimrod-desktop-linux (x86_64, glibc 2.35+).
• nimrod.mcpb for Claude Desktop on Windows (double-click, paste key).

Setup: run nimrod-desktop setup with your key from https://nimrod.orchis.ai/portal (new accounts get a free 50-credit trial), then claude mcp add nimrod -- /path/to/nimrod-desktop. Six research skills, a deep-research agent, and the hooks install themselves on first run; nimrod-desktop uninstall removes everything.

Search is metered (1 credit = 1 search). Webpage extraction and research synthesis run on your machine — free, and the pages you read never transit our servers.

Nimrod Desktop v1.0.0

The full Nimrod research toolkit for your machine: quality-scored web search (metered), local webpage extraction and deep research (always free), plus six auto-installing research skills and a deep-research agent.
