Friday
001DESKTOP CLIENT

Your fleet, in a window that stays open.

The desktop client is the console as a native app: today’s work replayed, the fleet, a wall of every agent running right now, and a line to any one of them. It signs in with the same Friday account as the web, and it keeps the meter in the corner of your eye.

We couldn’t place your machine, so all 5 builds are listed below with their hashes.

The Friday desktop client on macOS: the day replayed as a timeline of agent runs with a live cost meter, the fleet listed down the left rail, and a briefing panel.

Apple silicon and Intel Macs take different builds — an M-series Mac can run the Intel one under Rosetta, but the native build is the one to take. Linux ships as an AppImage that installs nothing and a .deb for Debian and Ubuntu. Windows is a per-user installer: no administrator prompt, and it does not touch anyone else’s account on the machine.

003FIRST RUN

Your computer will ask about it exactly once.

Friday is not yet signed with a paid Apple or Windows certificate, so both operating systems will stop the first launch and say something alarming about software they cannot vouch for. Nothing is wrong with the download. Here is the sentence each of them uses and the way through it.

macOS

Gatekeeper stops the first launch

  1. 01Open the .dmg and drag Friday to Applications.
  2. 02The first launch is refused — these builds are signed, but not with a paid Apple Developer ID, and macOS treats that as unknown.
  3. 03Open System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll to Security, and press Open Anyway next to Friday. Confirm once.
  4. 04That is the whole of it. Every launch after the first opens normally.

Windows

SmartScreen stops the installer

  1. 01Run the installer. Friday installs for your user — no administrator prompt.
  2. 02SmartScreen shows “Windows protected your PC” because the installer is not signed with a certificate we have yet bought.
  3. 03Choose More info → Run anyway.
  4. 04Friday lands in the Start menu and updates in place.

Linux

Two ways in, no gatekeeper

  1. 01AppImage: chmod +x Friday-0.1.0-x86_64.AppImage, then run it. Nothing is installed system-wide.
  2. 02Debian and Ubuntu: sudo apt install ./Friday-0.1.0-amd64.deb — desktop entry and menu icon included.
  3. 03Both need a normal desktop session; the app draws its own window chrome.

Signing certificates are bought, not earned, and they are on the list. When they land, these warnings go away and this section goes with them — we would rather explain the friction than pretend it is absent.

004ON YOUR PHONE

The iPhone app is built. You can’t install it yet.

That is the whole truth of it. The app to the right is real and running — the day’s takings, the four things that need a human, your standing agents, and a question box that reaches the same fleet. There is a watch glance too.

What it does not have is a way onto your phone. It is not in TestFlight and not in the App Store, and until it is, any button here would be a button that does nothing. So there isn’t one — there’s a list instead, and you will hear from us on the day it becomes installable.

One email when the iPhone build is installable. Nothing else.

In the meantime the desktop client above is the full surface. The web console is not a substitute on a phone: it needs a signed-in account and a window at least 1040 pixels wide.

Friday on an iPhone. The day so far — 14 tasks, 4.0 hours handed back — then the four agents on the roster, the one that is working opened as a dark card with its trace still ticking and an Interrupt beside a Talk, then the four things that need a human, over a tab bar reading Today, Needs you, Agents and Ask.
