CHANGELOG

what's new

v0.1.0

Hello, Awan

The first build of Awan, a little cloud that lives in your Mac's notch. You hold a hotkey and talk, it looks at your screen and answers out loud, and it can hand bigger jobs to agents that keep working while you do something else. It's a private beta, so expect rough edges, and tell us about them.

Talk

  • Hold Control + Option and ask. Awan takes one screenshot of what you're looking at, answers out loud, and lets go of the screenshot once it has answered.
  • It points. The cursor buddy flies to the thing it's talking about, and can circle or underline it so you know where to click.
  • Type instead. Double-tap Control to ask in text, for when you're somewhere you can't talk.
  • Realtime voice. A back-and-forth voice mode for when one question turns into a conversation.

Dictation

  • Hold Control + fn to dictate into any text box, or double-tap for hands-free. Your words are cleaned up before they're typed.

Awans (agents)

  • Make an Awan by having a short chat. Each one gets a name, a character, an intro and a few suggested first asks.
  • Send it work by voice or text. Progress shows up as it goes, and finished work comes back as cards you can open.
  • Skills, computer use and your own connectors. Agents can work inside your Mac's apps, and use tools you plug in through an MCP server or an API key.
  • Routines and morning suggestions. Put a job on a schedule, and get a few ideas for your Awans each morning.

Notch & Home

  • A home in the notch. Hover to peek at your Awans and their latest updates; open Home for the full list, chats and settings.

Account

  • Sign in with an email link. Your sign-in is kept in the macOS Keychain.
  • Free, Pro and Max plans, with limits counted on our server. Payments run in test mode during the beta, so nobody is charged yet.
  • Invite & earn. Every account gets a link at awan.ffdev.studio/@yourname. See the referral terms.

0.1.0 is a private beta for macOS 14 Sonoma or later. There's no public download yet: join the waitlist.
