Search Stack 0.1.0 — first preview

Search once and compare live search engines side by side. The first Search Stack preview is free and MIT-licensed.

Install

Apple silicon Macs, macOS 13 or newer. Download the DMG and drag Search Stack into Applications, or use Homebrew:

brew install --cask nanomader/tap/search-stack

This preview is ad-hoc signed for bundle integrity, but is not Developer ID signed or Apple-notarized. If macOS blocks the first launch, click Done, then open System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway for Search Stack and confirm Open. See Apple's instructions. Intel Mac, Windows, and Linux downloads are not available in this release.

Included

• One query across Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Yahoo, Baidu, and Yandex, with custom engines.
• Split, Single, and Stack views; Day, Night, and system themes.
• Independent persistent profiles, keyboard shortcuts, and page recovery.

Providers control their own ads, login restrictions, and CAPTCHAs. There is no automatic updater yet; download a later release or upgrade the Homebrew cask.

Build and validation

Built locally on macOS; no GitHub Actions build. Five unit tests and seven hidden-window end-to-end scenarios passed from source. All seven scenarios also passed against the packaged executable. Strict bundle-signature verification passed. Homebrew download, checksum verification, installation, signature integrity, and uninstall passed. Launching the downloaded copy was blocked by Gatekeeper before Electron started; launch after manual Open Anyway approval remains unverified. Native Windows/Linux releases remain unverified.

The release tag history was rewritten to replace the README screenshots. Application source and installer checksums are unchanged.
