Release Notes
The Mac App Is Your Runner The Amp app for macOS now starts a runner for you. You no longer need amp --no-tui open in a terminal to run threads on your Mac. Open App Settings… (⌘⇧,), go to Runner, and click + to add a folder or one of your projects. Start a thread and your Mac is right there in the picker, marked This Mac. You can also pick it when you start a thread from ampcode.com, your phone, or Puck. No More Sleeping on the Job Keep This Mac Awake stops your Mac from going to sleep while the runner is on and the Mac is plugged in, so you can still start threads on it after you walk away. The screen still turns off and locks. On battery, or when you close the lid, your Mac sleeps as usual. Read more in the runner docs.
