What's New in ZeroSpin
1.4.0
September 29, 2026
New in 1.4.0, with notes on the capabilities it uses: 1. Mac app: com.apple.security.network.server The Mac app listens ONLY on 127.0.0.1 (localhost). It is a local bridge so the built-in code editor (a web page served by the user's own computer) loads from http://localhost, which WebKit treats as a secure, app-bound origin (needed for service workers). Nothing on the network can connect to it. 2. Background modes: "fetch" (Background App Refresh) and "audio" - fetch: the app checks the user's own Claude Sessions Monitor (running on their computers) to post LOCAL notifications, for example when a coding session finishes or asks for permission. No push server, and nothing is sent anywhere except to the user's own computers. - audio: the built-in music player keeps playing when the screen locks. 3. File Provider extension (iPhone/iPad) Shows the user's own computers as locations in the Files app, so other apps can open and save their files. The user turns it on in Files › Browse › ⋯ › Edit. It only talks to the computers the user added in ZeroSpin, with the credentials they entered. 4. Notifications Local notifications only (session status, terminal bell). The "Approve"/"Deny" actions require unlocking the device. 5. GitHub (optional) Sign-in uses GitHub's OAuth device flow; the app never sees the GitHub password. "Codespaces" lists the user's GitHub Codespaces and opens them in an in-app web view (github.com / *.github.dev), or in Safari. 6. GitHub Copilot in the native editor (optional) Copilot runs on the user's own computer (GitHub's official Copilot language server). It needs the user's own GitHub Copilot plan (Copilot Free works) and GitHub's own sign-in. ZeroSpin does not sell or provide Copilot. 7. Photos The video editor adds photos with the system PhotosPicker, which runs out of process. The app does not request Photo Library access. How to review without your own computer: all features that don't need a computer work on their own (local files, iCloud Drive and other providers, the native code editor, the music player, the video editor, the image editor, GitHub browsing). Features that act on a computer (terminal, remote files, BosonCode editor, notifications, Files locations, Wake-on-LAN, Copilot) need a Mac or Linux machine with the open-source script above; the README explains the one-line setup.
