--- title: "Changelog" description: "Release notes for Startica, the open-source AI co-founder for everything after you ship." --- The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/), and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html). ## [Unreleased] ### Added - **Download page** at mystartica.com/download with the latest release's installers for macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel), Windows and Linux, and your system's highlighted. - **Release notes with download links:** each GitHub release now lists its installers with links and sizes, install notes while builds are unsigned, and the changelog entry. 0.x releases are marked beta. ## [0.0.1] - 2026-10-14 First public release. Installers are unsigned for now, so the documented way in is building from source. ### Added - **Desktop app** for macOS, Windows and Linux: an Electron shell with a local Next.js server and one SQLite file per install. No account, no Startica server and no telemetry. The server listens on `127.0.0.1` only and requires a per-launch session token; API keys, OAuth tokens and connection credentials are encrypted with the OS keychain. Tray icon, launch at login, and close-to-tray so scheduled jobs keep running. - **Four modules in one app:** Marketing, SEO & GEO, Accessibility and Security share your products, your sites and one scan per site. - **Dashboard, Today and Roadmap:** a home page that sums up every module, a short daily list of moves, and an AI-written growth roadmap built from playbooks and re-planned weekly. A background status indicator shows what's running and lets you stop it. - **Marketing:** - **Intel:** researches your site and market and writes a product brief, personas, competitors, keywords and communities to watch, all editable. - **Inbox:** finds conversations on Reddit, Hacker News, Bluesky, Mastodon, Discourse forums and, with your own API token, X; or reads a pasted link. Scores them for fit and drafts replies in your voice. - **Assisted posting (beta):** opens the site in a separate window with your reply filled in and waits for you to press the site's own button, then saves the link. Startica never posts on its own. - **Content Studio:** a voice bank, posts, threads, articles and email sequences per channel. - **Ads:** campaign plans and copy for Google, Meta and Reddit, AI-drawn creatives in every size, hand-off files, results from the spend you enter, and scale, keep, rewrite or stop suggestions. Startica never launches ads or spends money. - **Analytics:** Google Analytics 4 or Umami, Stripe, and your product's database through a read-only login you create, with per-reply and per-piece attribution through UTM links. - Landing page, onboarding, SEO and GEO audits. - **SEO & GEO:** site health checks for search engines and AI crawlers on the shared scan; clicks, queries and positions from Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools; AI visibility, which asks an AI assistant your customers' questions and shows whether it recommends you; one ranked list of opportunities with drafts; agent readiness; and the sites AI answers cite. - **Accessibility:** crawls your sites in a real browser and checks every page against WCAG 2.2 A and AA with axe-core; groups issues across pages and ranks what to fix first; AI fix suggestions and an alt text review; a manual checklist, a printable report, an accessibility statement and an ACR draft; spelling, readability, content rules, links and PDFs. Never claims a site is compliant. - **Security:** proves a site is yours first, then checks HTTPS, certificates, security headers, cookies, exposed files, SPF and DMARC on every scan; monitors subdomains, certificates, look-alike domains, third-party scripts and known-vulnerable libraries; a report mapped to OWASP Top 10; AI help, report import and a disclosure kit. Defensive checks only. - **Issues in GitHub or GitLab:** open an issue for an accessibility or security problem with your own token; Startica closes it when the problem is fixed. - **Bring your own AI:** Claude or OpenAI, with task-to-model routing, a monthly budget cap, and every call logged with tokens and cost. - **First-run setup and demo mode:** a three-step welcome and a Getting started checklist, and a demo with the fictional Fieldnote product in a separate data folder. - **Releases and updates:** a GitHub Actions workflow builds macOS, Windows and Linux installers into a draft release (signed and notarized once certificates are set up), and the installed app updates itself from GitHub Releases. - **Developer tooling:** `yarn seed:demo`, eval sets for the scorer, Accessibility and Security, browser and desktop smoke tests, and CI on macOS and Linux.
