Canoryn 0.1.6
Canoryn 0.1.6
Build workflows with chat or an external AI agent, run research boards, and trust enable/run behavior.
Added
- Canvas Architect Copilot — describe what you want in chat next to the canvas; Canoryn builds and edits the workflow instead of running the task immediately.
- Ask before it assumes — when something is unclear (location, schedule, missing tool), the copilot shows choices for you to pick.
- Edit without rebuilding — change one setting, swap a step, add or remove a node, or reconnect steps while keeping the rest of the workflow intact.
- External agents can author too — Codex, Claude, Cursor, and Antigravity can create, inspect, edit, enable, and run workflows through Canoryn’s MCP/CLI (no hand-editing project files).
- See what you can build — browse the live list of steps you can put on a workflow (with their inputs/outputs) before inventing something new.
- Dispatch other coding agents from a workflow — a canvas step can hand work to Codex, Claude, Cursor, or Antigravity on a repo and continue from the result.
- Research boards that actually run — compare sites in parallel, synthesize a report, and optionally email it — as a real workflow, not a static diagram.
- Safer custom tools — when Canoryn proposes a script tool, you see the full code before approving; approved tools show up as normal canvas steps with the source visible.
- Shorter workflow IDs in the CLI — short readable handles instead of full UUIDs.
- CLI & MCP settings — install and diagnose the command-line / agent connection from Settings; optional auto-allow for routine external runs (enable still asks).
Changed
- “Build a workflow…” means build — everyday shortcuts no longer fire the underlying action when you asked to design a workflow.
- Enable means it can run for agents/CLI — turning a workflow on publishes it so scheduled and external runs work; Play on the canvas still works while drafting.
- Clearer split — tools that edit a workflow stay separate from steps that live on the canvas, so agents don’t confuse the two.
Fixed
- Enabling a draft no longer leaves it “on” in the UI but blocked when an agent or CLI tries to run it; errors say why.
- Canvas Play works for scheduled / event-triggered workflows and no longer gets stuck on extra consent.
- Markdown reports keep their content after Play; browser pages survive collapsing groups.
- Custom tools you already trusted show up reliably as canvas steps after restart.
- Workspace and canvas focus/pan quirks that made editing feel sticky or unpredictable.
Install
Canoryn is still in beta and is not notarized yet, so macOS may show a one-time warning. To open it:
- Easiest (Terminal):
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Canoryn.app - Or: System Settings -> Privacy & Security -> scroll down -> Open Anyway
