Outmake release notes

Outmake 0.3 beta

2026-10-10T12:00:00Z

Model links, and fixes for ChatGPT chats.

New

A link to a model opens it in Outmake. outmake://models/huggingface/<owner>/<model> or outmake://models/civitai/<number> shows that one model in Models, at the size that fits your Mac. Nothing downloads until you press Get.

Improved

Outmake's window comes to the front when you open it, and when a link opens it.
ChatGPT signs in with OpenAI's own Codex program on every Mac, the way Claude signs in with Claude Code.
A failed reply says more: a weekly or session limit, a provider under heavy demand, a model that can't run commands or read files, and a network that blocks secure connections each get their own words.
A freeze report says what Outmake was doing when it stopped answering.
Voice control presses the right keys on French, German, Dvorak and other keyboards.
A llama.cpp server you run yourself is found on its new default port.
Outmake tells OpenRouter its name with each request, so OpenRouter counts it as an app. Nothing about you is in it. The privacy policy's OpenRouter line says so.

Fixed

In a ChatGPT chat, a command's step showed an exit code and none of what the command printed.
Claude's "Compacting the conversation" line had stopped appearing, and a message sent meanwhile wasn't held for it.
/plan did nothing in a ChatGPT chat.
A ChatGPT chat could open with a failed step about a connector that hadn't failed.
After an agent updated itself, the next chat downloaded Node.js and OpenCode again, or couldn't start with no internet.
A task scheduled for one date was set wrong on a Mac that uses a Buddhist, Islamic or Persian calendar.
A snapshot downloaded iCloud and OneDrive files that weren't on the Mac.
Asking by voice about a Git project on a Mac without Apple's developer tools opened Apple's installer.
Sound files of spoken replies built up for as long as Outmake stayed open. Each now goes an hour after it was last said.

Outmake 0.2 beta

2026-10-10T12:00:00Z

Passwords.

New

Passwords, in Settings: keep logins, verification codes, cards, identities, passports and notes on this Mac, sealed with a key that Touch ID or your Mac's password opens. It stays open for a week after one Touch ID unless you choose sooner.
Click into a sign-in field in Outmake's browser and your logins for that site appear under it. A key in the browser's bar searches all of them, and Outmake offers to save a password after a sign-in works.
An agent can ask Outmake to fill a sign-in or a card in the browser. In a chat with Full access it signs in without asking; a card, and everything in other chats, waits for your Touch ID. The agent is never shown what was filled.
An agent can make an account: Outmake makes the password to the site's own rules, fills it and saves the login.
Import from a file exported by Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Apple Passwords, 1Password, Bitwarden, Dashlane, LastPass, Proton Pass, NordPass or KeePassXC. Outmake walks you through the export and picks the file up from Downloads.
Used Passwords lists every time an agent asked for one.
Outmake opens web links from other apps, and can be chosen as the default browser in System Settings.
Aero, a second look for the window under Settings › Appearance: glass that shows a sky behind it, glossy buttons, a chat that flows into its page like a tab, and widgets with shapes of their own. It works in light and dark and takes any accent colour.
⌘K finds everything: chats, pages, settings, models and commands in one box.
Voices act. One set of cues (a laugh, a whisper, a pause) works across every model and voice, and ElevenLabs voices can be added with your own key.
An upscaler that adds detail, and a narration voice for each storyboard.

Improved

Buttons, rows and cards across the app light up under the pointer.
Enhance Prompt keeps your own words.
First-run setup says what it's doing at each step, with one Back button.
The first-run agreement can be read with no internet connection.
In Outmake's browser, an agent now waits for you before a buy, send, delete or publish button in Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Japanese, Chinese and Korean, as it already did in English.
In the chat list, a chat waiting for you has its own mark instead of a dot in another colour.

Fixed

With Approve for Me on, an agent could change shell start-up files or read keys in your home folder without asking. It asks now.
A chat, scheduled task, storyboard or draft that couldn't be saved (a full disk) failed without a word. Outmake says so.
A first chat could bring up the Mac's Location question unasked.
On a Mac that can't run a voice on its own chip, the voice engine crashed each time it was tried. It explains instead.
A model engine left running by a crash is stopped the next time Outmake opens.
A window that froze with the chat at its widest beside a tab.
Chimes no longer switch AirPods into call mode.

Security

A note recalled from Memory is handed to an agent marked as information, never as instructions.
Lending this Mac's memory to a paired Mac is off until you turn it on.

Outmake 0.1 beta

2026-10-07T12:00:00Z

The first public beta. Everything here is new, and some of it is rough: what we already know about is under Known issues.

New

Chat from the notch or a full window with Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, OpenCode, or a model that runs on this Mac.
Models: browse open models, see which fit this Mac before downloading, and run them with no account.
Studio: make and edit pictures and video on this Mac, with styles, storyboards, upscaling, and a Gallery of what others have made.
Advanced: set steps, guidance, sampler, scheduler, size and seed yourself, and save the settings as a preset in the Quality menu.
Voice: talk to Outmake, have replies read aloud, and dictate into any app.
Memory: one memory shared by every agent, which you can read, edit and erase.
A browser inside each chat, with Signed In and Private tabs.
Tabs in a chat for pages, files and apps, beside the chat or in its place, and a terminal underneath.
Files open in their chat to read and edit, with Markdown shown as it reads and code coloured.
Helpers an agent starts each open as a chat of their own, so you can watch one work.
Access: choose how much an agent may do without asking. Sending, buying, deleting and publishing always ask first.
Updates install themselves, signed and checked before they open, and wait for a reply to finish.
Send Feedback, under Help, reaches us directly.
