Forerunner
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 Forerunner account as the web, and it keeps the meter in the corner of your eye.

The same fleet, in your pocket — the day so far, the things that need you, and a line to any agent.

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

The Forerunner desktop client on macOS, in dark appearance: Atlas, the chief of staff, on its ledger — value returned, hours handed back, money at risk and held, and run cost across the top, one row per task with its lane, venue and cost beneath, and the six-agent fleet down the left rail.
002EVERY BUILD

All 5 builds, with their hashes.

One binary per line, measured from the file itself. Check what you downloaded against the hash on this page — on macOS and Linux shasum -a 256 <file>, on Windows Get-FileHash <file>. They must match exactly.

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

macOS just opens it. Windows asks once.

The Mac build is signed with Forerunner’s Apple Developer ID and notarized by Apple, so it installs and launches with nothing in the way. Windows has no certificate yet and SmartScreen will stop the installer the first time. Nothing is wrong with the download — here is the sentence it uses and the way through it.

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-0.1.2-x86_64.AppImage, then run it. Nothing is installed system-wide.
  2. 02Debian and Ubuntu: sudo apt install ./Friday-0.1.2-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. Apple’s landed in 0.1.2 and took the macOS warning with it; the Windows one is next, and when it lands this section goes too — we would rather explain the friction than pretend it is absent.

004ON YOUR PHONE

Forerunner for iPhone. Coming soon.

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.

One email when it ships. Nothing else.

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.

REAL SCREEN · NOT A MOCKUP
