v0.2.1

1FounderTool is now free. There is no licence to buy or activate, and every feature works on every computer you install it on.

Improvements

• No licence — the Licence section in Settings and the licence row in the setup checklist are gone, and the app no longer checks a licence key. A key you activated before is simply ignored.
• New website address — the website link in Settings → About now opens 1foundertool.stoicsoft.com.

v0.2.0

Settings now show your licence and your version of 1FounderTool, and downloads are smaller.

New Features

• Licence in Settings — a new Licence section shows your plan, your masked licence key, how many of its computers are in use and how long updates are included. Activate a key from your receipt email, check it again, or remove it from this computer to use it on another one.
• About in Settings — a new About section shows your version, checks for updates on request, and lets you download a waiting update or restart to install it.
• Choose when updates download — turn off "Download updates automatically" in Settings → About to decide yourself when a new version downloads.

Improvements

• Smaller downloads — the installers and the installed app are smaller, and the macOS disk image is more tightly compressed.

v0.1.1

• macOS: first-run setup no longer stops at "Bundled pnpm file … failed its integrity check", and building apps works on a fresh install.
• macOS: the disk image's entry in the update feed now matches the published file.
• Building an app that saves data no longer fails while preparing its database tools, which tried to download a component the build cannot reach.
• Previews of apps that save data now open; the installed app was missing part of its private data service.

v0.1.0

First public beta of 1FounderTool, for macOS (Apple Silicon), Windows (x64) and Linux (x64).

• Build apps through the conversation-first founder workspace.
• Review and accept immutable release candidates before publishing.
• Run local previews and publish accepted builds to a prepared host.
• Receive 1FounderTool updates automatically from the public release feed.
• Choose whether to share anonymous usage statistics; nothing is sent unless you opt in.
• Windows: install, set up and talk with your assistant. Building apps on Windows is not available yet.
• Linux: needs Ubuntu 24.04 or newer (or Debian 13). Building apps needs bubblewrap, which the .deb installs for you.
