Redstone 0.2.0
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.appOn 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 —
⌘⇧Spacefrom 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.
