| 21 | ## Cadence |
| 22 | ### Release Schedule |
| 23 | Approved pull requests are tested and implemented on corresponding weekends. Milestone releases are tied to real moments of growth. Reaching 500 stars, for example, will queue a new release. If the latest build becomes the #1 download on [macos26.app](https://macos26.app), that milestone will also trigger a new release. For early adopters: as bug fixes land, pull requests are approved, and new features ship, the main branch will always reflect the latest work. This summer, updates may be a bit slower due to Family Medical Leave and limited computer access. Thanks in advance for your patience. |

| 27 | ## Backstory and the Tech behind Agent! |
| 28 | Agent! didn't come together overnight. It's the result of three years of building agentic AI apps, drawing on roughly a dozen projects developed along the way. Some of those were published under ANIE, Game Changer, BattleScript, XCF MCP Server and Client, D1F, and about eight original Swift Packages. The missing piece was achieving an intelligent autonomous time loop. Once achieved, I brought in the best of the best from the previous three years. The result is Agent! for macOS 26.4.1 or later. |
| 29 | |
| 30 | The original goal was to build a Cursor killer. What emerged is something more interesting: an agentic AI with real legs. Agent! is only limited by your imagination. It can write code including video games like Boss-Man, https://github.com/macos26/bossman, create apps, write poetry via AppleScript within Pages, generate disk images, and attach them to GitHub releases. It can automate most tasks on your Mac. Ask it what you want in plain English or your native language and, after some initial configuration and user approvals, it will do everything it can to carry out your wish. Agent! is relentless, and aims to please. |
| 31 | |
| 32 | All of Agent!'s IP is original and open source. Every Swift package dependency and the app itself were originally authored by the same person. This is a genuinely different ecosystem. Most agentic AI apps like Claude Code rely on 65 NPM packages from third parties. Agent! is 100% native, requires very little RAM, and weighs in at 35.5 uncompressed. That footprint includes Xcode automation, a Swift Syntax 6.2 package for troubleshooting native apps, Accessibility, AppleScript, AgentScript/ScriptingBridge, Safari automation, MCP Server support, and more. Out of the box. |
