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
