This archive is retained for historical reference only — do not submit issues or PRs here, and expect no further releases.

Important
Chromium sandbox status: the .deb/.rpm packages and the install script enable the full Chromium sandbox automatically (SUID chrome-sandbox helper). The AppImage runs with the sandbox disabled (--no-sandbox) because AppImages cannot ship a SUID helper — prefer the packages, or extract the tarball and run sudo chown root:root chrome-sandbox && sudo chmod 4755 chrome-sandbox next to the binary. The in-progress Windows builds currently run without the Chromium sandbox (cef_sandbox.lib is not yet linked).
Development changes are tracked in CHANGELOG.md. Keep new work in the Unreleased section until bun run release cuts a version, and update that section as part of each completed feature, fix, or notable behavior change.
Prerequisites:
- CMake (3.21+)
- Ninja (Build system)
- GCC 14+ (C++20 support)
- Bun (for UI development)
bun run setupTo start the UI development server (with HMR) and launch the browser automatically:
bun run devWe use Ninja for high-performance builds. To build the project for production:
bun run build:uibun run build:cpp- MVP
- Automated CI/CD Release Pipeline
- Windows (x64) Support
- macOS (Universal) Support
