GOAT0.1.1 (Kid)

Try GOAT 0.1.1 (Kid) ​

Download the signed, notarized Mac app from GitHub Releases. This guide covers getting started, exploring the features and reporting useful feedback.

0.1.1 (Kid) is a maintenance update. See the roadmap for its scope and the separate M7 checklist.

Install and connect ​

You need an Apple Silicon Mac running macOS 26 or later and a compatible model engine. Follow Getting started to install GOAT and connect your engine. To build from source, use Contributing.

Start with a small project and review each permission request. Model quality, tool calling and memory requirements depend on the model and engine you choose. Read known issues, engine compatibility and Privacy before using confidential work.

Useful things to test ​

  • Everyday chat: connect your engine, switch models, attach supported files and images, and inspect usage statistics.
  • Project work: create a Pen, link a small workspace, review a proposed edit, run an approved command and guide the next step with Lead.
  • Memory and previews: try local memory, inspect generated HTML or SVG, and connect Hindsight only if you already have a suitable service.
  • Usability: test keyboard navigation, VoiceOver, your preferred theme and the clarity of instructions and permission prompts.

Try the features you need; you do not have to set up every integration. The overview, guides and reference explain the supported paths. The roadmap distinguishes implemented capabilities from future ideas.

Give useful feedback ​

Use the issue templates for bugs, engine compatibility and feature requests. Include the GOAT version/build and, for source builds, the source commit, macOS version, engine/model versions, reproduction steps and expected result. Remove credentials, private messages and project data from screenshots and logs.

Report security problems privately through SECURITY.md. Documentation corrections, small examples and accessibility improvements are welcome through Contributing. For general enquiries or sponsorship, contact baa@goatapp.dev.

Follow development ​

Fixes land through pull requests, and published releases identify their source commit and download checksums. See the roadmap for current priorities. Builds from main can include changes that are not yet in a published app.
