Astramar’s public Mac beta is open.
Astramar 1.0 is now available as a signed and notarized Mac beta. This is the first public download channel for Astramar from SeaSoup.
What Astramar is today
Astramar is a native macOS phrase launcher for keeping reusable replies, commands, and templates close at hand. The current product is built around a local-first phrase library and fast retrieval from the Mac.
The public beta gives people a direct way to try that core experience without requiring access to the private development repository.
What this public beta includes
- Astramar 1.0 (build 1) for supported Macs.
- A signed and notarized direct-download Mac package.
- An optional signed and notarized Astramar CLI companion download on Availability.
- Phrase search and insertion, folders, favorites, and reusable templates.
- A shared beta end date so the cohort evaluates the same public window.
For exact build and package notes, see What’s New. For the current Mac app and CLI download state, use Availability.
What is not part of this cut
Paid Pro is not open. Team is not for sale. The Astramar.app Homebrew cask is not part of this release.
Those boundaries matter: a beta announcement should describe what people can use now, not turn planned work into a promise.
Try the beta
Start with Availability for the current download, then follow the install guide. Product feedback can be sent through the feedback page.
Why News & Updates exists
This article is part of a new Astramar publication surface. News & Updates will provide customer-facing context around meaningful product changes, development direction, releases, and SeaSoup announcements.
It is intentionally separate from What’s New, which remains the version/build-specific release ledger. That separation lets release notes stay precise while News can explain why a change matters.
