The Redstone web app in a window, plus the four things a browser cannot do:
folder workspaces synced both ways, local files into a chat, a quick chat bar on
a global shortcut, and screen capture.

Install

Download the dmg for your Mac — arm64 for Apple Silicon, x64 for Intel —
open it, drag Redstone to Applications.

The build is signed ad-hoc rather than notarized, so the first launch is blocked
by Gatekeeper. Either right-click the app and choose Open, or run:

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Redstone.app

On first launch it asks which Redstone server to connect to, then you sign in on
that server's own login page.

What's in it

  • Folder sync, per conversation. Your edits reach the server in about 3.5s;
    the agent's writes reach your disk in about 2s while a turn is streaming.
    Conflicts keep both copies, renames move instead of re-uploading, and a
    truncated listing never deletes anything.
  • Quick chat bar⌘⇧Space from anywhere.
  • Bring Redstone to the front⌘⌥R, on whichever screen your cursor is on.
  • Screen capture⌘⇧1, with a preview you confirm before anything uploads.
  • Settings⌘,: rebind the shortcuts, microphone permission and device,
    launch at login, switch server.
  • Drag files onto the window to attach them; voice input works.

Known limits

  • Not notarized. See the install note above.
  • macOS only for now. Windows and Linux package cleanly and CI builds them,
    but nobody has run them in anger yet.
  • Uploads are not resumable — a dropped connection restarts the file, matching
    the server API.
