About Foundry

A native macOS launcher: apps, files, clipboard history, snippets, window management and AI chat in one panel.

How to install Foundry on a Mac

  1. Get OpenDMG. It is a free app store for open source Mac apps. Download OpenDMG.
  2. Search for Foundry and press Get. OpenDMG downloads version 1.3.0 from hridaya423's own GitHub release.
  3. Open it. The download is checked against its SHA-256 fingerprint and its signature is checked on your Mac before it lands in Applications.

Updates to Foundry show up in OpenDMG and install with one button. No account is needed.

Prefer to do it by hand? The developer's file is on GitHub: Foundry.dmg (4.9 MB).

What is new in Foundry 1.3.0

Foundry 1.3 is a finishing release. It removes features that did not earn their place. Every surface now uses the same keys, the same rows and the same feedback.

## Removed

- **Camera is gone.** The Camera mode, its command and its capture service are removed. Foundry no longer asks for camera access, and the app carries no camera entitlement.
- **Settings › Appearance is gone.** Panel contrast is now in Settings › General.
- **Settings › Agents no longer lists sessions.** The Agents shelf shows them.

## Setup

- Setup has four steps: welcome, shortcut, bring your snippets, done.
- You try the shortcut during setup. The step completes only when a real launch works.
- Foundry takes ⌘ Space only when you choose "Take ⌘ Space". The other answer is ⌥ Space.
- Foundry imports snippets from Alfred directly and from a Raycast export file.
- Paste, snippet insert, window tiling and screen text capture ask for permission in the panel before they act.

## The panel

- Foundry reopens where you left it. It returns to Home after the time you set in Settings › General.
- ⌘1 to ⌘8 open your favorites. Hold ⌘ to see the numbers.
- ⌃N and ⌃P move the selection. ⌘↑ and ⌘↓ jump to the ends of the list.
- Every footer shows the keys that work on that screen.
- VoiceOver announces the selected row and its shortcut.
- A copy confirms itself after the panel closes.
