Gyro v0.1.0-alpha.28

Gyro Alpha 28 adds a native macOS menu-bar status surface and sharpens the
day-to-day Chat experience with video attachments, clearer activity history,
and more predictable workspace controls.

Download and install

Gyro requires macOS 14+ and is not Apple-signed or notarized. The application
uses a complete ad-hoc signature, so the first launch still requires Apple's
one-time Open Anyway approval.

Use the Gyro download site to select the
correct build, then follow the
macOS installation guide.
Do not disable Gatekeeper or remove quarantine globally.

What changed

  • A native menu-bar item now shows whether Gyro is idle, working, waiting for
    attention, or has recently completed work.
  • The menu-bar popover lists active Chats and automations, opens their owning
    surface, and can stop supported Chat runs without reopening the main window.
  • A General setting controls whether the Gyro menu-bar item is visible.
  • Chat accepts validated MP4, M4V, MOV, and WebM video attachments alongside
    images and workspace context.
  • Streaming commentary keeps its chronological position around intervening
    commands, so the activity history reads in the order work happened.
  • Each Chat turn now shows one aggregate live file-change summary with totals,
    expandable files, inline diffs, and a direct Review action after completion.
  • Branch selection pins main first and sorts the remaining local branches by
    recent activity.
  • Grid Chats expose a consistent close control, and composer, attachment,
    sidebar, queue, and light-theme details have been polished.
  • Regression coverage now exercises menu-bar state, video validation, activity
    chronology, branch ordering, change summaries, and close behavior.

Behavior changes and known limits

  • The menu-bar item is enabled by default and represents active Chats and
    automation runs; terminals, tests, tasks, and future schedules do not create
    menu-bar jobs.
  • Video attachments are limited to supported containers, at most two videos
    per turn, and 50 MB per video. The existing total attachment limit also
    applies.
  • Providers receive a validated local video reference as Chat context; video
    interpretation still depends on the selected provider and model.
  • Gyro remains an unsigned public Alpha. Managed Macs may prohibit Open
    Anyway    , and Gyro does not bypass device policy.
  • Apple Silicon and Intel remain separate downloads; there is no universal DMG.
  • Homebrew installs the gyro CLI only. Gyro.app remains a direct DMG install.
  • Alpha 27 sessions, settings, attachments, plans, approvals, capabilities,
    and projects remain compatible; no destructive data migration is required.

Upgrade and rollback

Alpha 27 data remains compatible with Alpha 28. Update from Gyro or replace the
existing application with the matching Alpha 28 DMG.

Before changing versions, quit Gyro and back up
~/Library/Application Support/Gyro/. To roll back, reinstall
v0.1.0-alpha.27.

CLI

After the release Formula reaches the tap:

brew tap wytzeh197/tap
brew trust --formula wytzeh197/tap/gyro
brew install gyro

Direct archives are available for
Apple Silicon
and
Intel.

Alpha notice

This is a GitHub-built public macOS Alpha for Apple Silicon and Intel. Updater
archives are signed with Gyro's updater key, while application bundles use
ad-hoc code signing and DMGs are not Apple-signed or notarized.
