Feather
A small, visible support agent. Your computer. Your access switch.

Mac download
Apple silicon · approximately 40 MB
Version 0.1.0-alpha.6 · build 27. Developer ID signed, Apple notarized and stapled. Unzip, move Feather.app into your Applications folder, then open it. The runtime is included. Feather keeps itself updated through the signed Fledge alpha channel. Automatic maintenance never enables support access.
Windows
No current Windows alpha is distributed from this release surface. The earlier internal installer is retired until the Windows native install/update path is requalified.
One local access switch
On runs authorized O+K requests. Ask requires a local approval for each exact request. Off rejects requests without prompting and stops tracked work. The Mac tray remembers your selection across ordinary restart; first installs start Off. Connection status is separate from access permission.
Turning support access off does not undo prior changes or disable independent software.
Operator tools
Downloading Feather does not grant operator rights. O+K operator tools and the ChatGPT connection use the same hosted authorization boundary; local access controls remain authoritative.
Platform status
Mac Apple silicon: alpha download and Fledge updates. Linux and Windows remain separate qualification lanes and are not advertised here as installable desktop releases.
