v1.7.1

This release adds a one-click switch to turn all AI features on or off, a setting to hide the chat panel on its own, and a dedicated panel for reviewing the file changes Onyx Code proposes, plus more dependable model switching.

Downloading

If you're installing manually:

macOS

  • Apple Silicon Mac (M1 or newer): download OnyxCode-darwin-arm64.dmg (smaller, native).
  • Intel Mac, or unsure: download OnyxCode-darwin-universal.dmg (runs on both).

Open the .dmg and drag Onyx Code to /Applications/. Both macOS downloads are signed and notarized by Apple, so they pass Gatekeeper and open without security warnings.

Linux (x64)

  • Debian / Ubuntu: download OnyxCode-linux-x64.deb and install it with sudo apt install ./OnyxCode-linux-x64.deb.
  • Other distributions: download OnyxCode-linux-x64.AppImage, make it executable (chmod +x), and run it. On Ubuntu 24.04 (which lacks libfuse2) run it with --appimage-extract-and-run.

Windows (x64)

Windows support is on the way through winget (winget install OnyxCode), which will be the recommended way to install once it is published: it runs through Microsoft App Installer (a trusted Microsoft Store app) with a package listing reviewed in Microsoft community winget repository, so it verifies the download and gives a smoother first-run experience. winget is not available yet, so for now the only way to install on Windows is to download the attached OnyxCode-win32-x64-winget.exe and run it manually. It is not code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen warns "Windows protected your PC"; click More info, then Run anyway to continue. A code-signed installer is planned for a later release.

The *-autoupdate.zip, darwin-*.json, linux-x64.json, and win32-x64.json files are plumbing for Onyx Code's
built-in auto-updater. They are not designed for manual install and will give
you a worse first-run experience than the download above.

What's new

One switch for all AI. A single setting turns every AI feature on or off at once: chat, inline autocomplete, codebase indexing, and next-edit prediction. Flip it off and Onyx Code is a clean, fully local editor with AI paused until you want it back.

Hide the chat panel. A separate setting hides the chat panel on its own while keeping autocomplete and the rest of the editor working, for when you want a quieter workspace.

Review proposed changes in one place. A dedicated Proposed Changes panel collects the file edits Onyx Code suggests, with Accept and Reject for each file (and Accept All / Reject All), so you apply exactly what you want and skip the rest.

Dependable model switching. Activating a different chat model loads the model you picked right away, so your selection is the one that answers your next message.

System requirements

  • macOS 11 (Big Sur) or later, on Apple Silicon or Intel.
  • 8 GB RAM minimum; 16 GB or more recommended for larger local models.
  • About 1.5 GB free disk for the app, plus room for any models you download.

Installing

  1. Download the .dmg for your Mac (see Downloading above).
  2. Open it and drag Onyx Code to /Applications/.
  3. Launch it from Applications. macOS verifies the Apple notarization on first run, so it opens without security prompts.

If you already run Onyx Code, the built-in updater offers this version automatically, so there is nothing to download by hand.

Verification

This build is signed and notarized by Apple. macOS verifies it on first launch, so it opens as an app from an identified developer without security warnings.
