Founderizer

Downloads

Four things live here: the Mac app you run every day, the installer for a Mac that stays on, the iPhone app through TestFlight, and the address the hub install clones on your server.

The two Mac downloads are signed with our Apple Developer ID, notarized by Apple and stapled, so they open on a Mac that has never seen them before without you being asked to make an exception for us. Each one publishes its SHA-256 below, and checking it takes one command. The iPhone app is real too, but it arrives by invitation rather than by a link, for the reason given under it, and the code is an address your server clones rather than anything you download. Nothing on this page is a placeholder.

The Mac app

Your fleet on your own Mac: the agents, their chats, what needs you, the machines and the Update button. This is the app you run every day.

The Mac installer

For a Mac that stays on — a Mac mini or a Mac Studio, never a laptop. You run it there, it shows one address and one link code, and your Mac app does the rest. Nothing is typed on that machine.

The iPhone app, through TestFlight

What needs you, answerable from your pocket, and the notifications that reach you when something does.

Ask us for it. By invitation, because there is nothing to link to. Build 0.1.0 (1) is on TestFlight in an internal group, and an internal group has no public join link — Apple invites named people by Apple ID. Write to us with the Apple ID you use on your iPhone, we add it in App Store Connect, and Apple emails you. You install it with Apple’s own TestFlight app from the App Store. A public link would mean opening external testing, which is Apple’s Beta App Review: a decision to make when strangers should be testing it, not a URL we are waiting on. support@founderizer.com

The Founderizer code

The address your own server clones and updates from. The Mac app asks for it when you install your first machine, and the install prompt refuses to invent one, so this is where it comes from. It is not where the apps come from — those are the two disk images above — and it is not where you report a problem, which is the support address.

Paste this where the app or the prompt asks for the repository:
https://github.com/miguelpieras/founderizer-fleet.git

Public, and fetched with no credential of yours — if a clone ever asks you for a password or a user name, something is wrong and the prompt tells you to stop rather than guess. Nothing is downloaded from this page for it: your own server clones it, and updates itself from it.

Checking what you downloaded

Our whole claim is that you can check what we hand you, so the hashes above are the ones to check against. On the Mac you downloaded to:

shasum -a 256 ~/Downloads/Founderizer-0.1.100.dmg

The line it prints must match character for character. If it does not, do not open it — tell us at support@founderizer.com and say what you got. You can also ask macOS what it thinks of the file itself, which checks Apple’s notarization rather than our hash:

spctl -a -t open --context context:primary-signature -v ~/Downloads/Founderizer-0.1.100.dmg

It should answer source=Notarized Developer ID. Both checks are worth more than our word for it, which is why they are written out here.

What you can do today

Nothing here blocks a subscription, and nothing here reaches into a fleet you already run. If you have a fleet, it keeps running and it updates itself from the release channel. If you are starting one, everything you need is on this page: the installer for the machine that will hold your fleet, the app you drive it from, the address that machine clones, and the prompt if you would rather install it yourself. The iPhone app is an email away.

  • Read the install prompt. The text an agent follows is published and will not change under you. It is the install, written out.
  • Read what you carry. What you carry is the plain statement of what is yours to keep an eye on, which is worth reading before you buy and not after.

Ask when something will be here, and you get a real answer: support@founderizer.com.
