What is new in ModelStatus 1.0.0

**ModelStatus is now live on the Mac App Store.** Approved by Apple App Store Review on 2026-05-29.

[Download on the Mac App Store →](https://apps.apple.com/app/modelstatus/id6774341064)

Or, for the unsandboxed direct-download build (free, MIT-licensed, with Start/Stop Local Ollama + Diagnostic Bundle export features that the App Store sandbox forbids):

```bash
brew tap lucasmullikin/tap && brew install --cask modelstatus
```

## What's new vs v0.2.0

### Reliability fixes
- **5-minute URLSession rotation** — fixes "stuck Unreachable" state after transient mDNS / Wi-Fi sleep-wake / Tailscale reconnect blips
- **Log Viewer race condition fix** — `Loading…` no longer gets stuck on macOS 26.x when OSLogStore queries are slow
- **Discovery already-added detection** — clicking Discover no longer suggests servers you've already added

### UX polish
- **Cmd+Tab support** for Settings/Log Viewer/Welcome windows
- **Edit menu installed** — Cmd+C / Cmd+V / Cmd+X / Cmd+A now work in every text field
- **Settings table column widths** fit `http://macmini-m4-pro.local:11434`-style hostnames without manual resizing
- **App icon redesign** — brain-as-server-rack

### Mac App Store compliance
- New `MODELSTATUS_APP_STORE` compile flag produces a sandboxed build with capability gating
- `PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy` manifest declaring zero data collection (Apple requirement since Spring 2024)
