Changelog

Release notes for the desktop app. Downloads for every version: overwire.io. The CLI is versioned independently on npm and is not covered here.

A friendlier first launch, with a built-in demo. (macOS)

Added

  • Built-in demo: open a sample workspace with ready-to-run workflows straight from the start screen — no setup or Docker needed
  • Demo workspaces are view-and-execute: run workflows and flip step modes freely while the sample files stay pristine
  • Exit the demo from the status bar; removing a workspace’s last repository now closes it back to the start screen

Improved

  • First launch lands directly on the start screen, which explains what to open and that workflow files are never modified
  • Opening a single repository sets it up automatically — the manual initialize step is gone
  • Crash-reporting consent waits until after you open something

Fixed

  • Reopening a workspace whose repository list had been emptied no longer dead-ends on the setup screen

First stable release. (macOS)

Added

  • Mocked steps narrate their contract match, validated inputs, outputs, and declared duration in the step log

Improved

  • Lifetime licenses include every update; the update window and renewal are gone
  • The update control sits beside the app version in the status bar
  • The wordmark matches the brand across the app

(macOS)

Added

  • Welcome dialog that orients first launches before setup
  • Data settings: open the app’s directories, clear the cache, or reset app data

Fixed

  • The system keychain is only accessed when you switch secret storage
  • Cmd+Q always quits cleanly, even mid-teardown

First public release. (macOS)

  • Workflow workbench: open a repository and run its GitHub Actions workflows locally
  • Per-step modes: skip, mock, or live-execute each step in a real runner container
  • Platform simulation for events, contexts, and the GitHub API
  • Companion CLI, installable from npm
