Changelog

What's new in Macaron, release by release. The latest is 0.2.0: download it.

0.2.0

Flavors per project, the Brain and Review

Each project now gets the flavor that fits it, your agents can search your code by meaning and remember what they learn, and everything they make lands in one place to review.

Fifteen seconds of 0.2.0

The macaron jumps into the Code hard hat, tries on every flavor and bakes a few of its own.

Flavors, per project

A flavor sets up the desktop for one kind of work: its panels, its start screen and the tools its agents get. Code, Writing, Website, Math and CAD each have their own, and their own macaron in its own hat. Each project now picks the flavor that fits it, a website gets Website, and you can switch, mix two, or bake your own in the macaron maker.

The flavor menu: Code, Writing, Website, Math, CAD and the project's own flavor, each with its macaron.
The macaron maker: styles such as Classic, Two fillings, Speckled and Galaxy, with shells and fillings to choose from.

The Brain

Index a project and search its code by meaning. Agents in Claude Code and Codex chats can search it too, and remember what they learn so the next one starts ahead. Code is sent to macaron.sh to be embedded and isn't kept; the index stays on your computer.

The Brain tab beside a project, ready to index it.

Review

The images and renders your agents make, side by side in one view, with notes you can send back to the thread that made them.

Review: an app icon an agent rendered, with room for notes.

Threads by project

The sidebar switches between your recent threads and the same threads grouped by project.

The sidebar's Projects view: threads grouped under each project.

Writing, on your Mac

The Writing flavor can rewrite a draft with a model that runs on your own Mac, after one download. Nothing you write leaves the computer. Macs with Apple silicon.

The Writing flavor: a draft, its AI-tell checks and a LinkedIn preview.
