New in Amaru

What changed, newest first. Download the latest build from the home page.

Site

The home page speaks Indonesian

  • The home page is also at /id/ in Indonesian, with an EN and ID switch in the header. Docs and this changelog stay in English, as does the app.

Accounts, Cursor, Antigravity and a friendlier start

  • AI usage limits are one card per account, with the email partly hidden. A second Claude login can be added by hand in Services.
  • Cursor plan limits, read from Cursor's own sign-in. Antigravity's plan and its Gemini and Claude windows show with the account's email, and running Kiro and Antigravity tasks appear in the notch.
  • One Send tile on the shelf for AirDrop and nearby Android phones, and a QR code that lets any phone send files to your Mac through a web page, with no app.
  • AI usage cards stack from the top, show the full email when you click the hidden one, and the open notch can be dragged taller or shorter per page.
  • The Prayer page shows where the sun or the moon is: its compass direction and height, the moon's phase, and the time of day on the arc.
  • Finished downloads and focus sessions celebrate too, and the confetti also plays while the notch is open.
  • Amaru asks what to call you and says hello when it starts, with the logo's own animation. Settings no longer opens on every start.
  • Clicking a pop-up's close button no longer opens the whole notch under the pointer.
  • The UI is English throughout, a lighter Peek glow, a roomier shelf, and the new Amaru logo and icon.
Site

Amaru is a download, not a build

  • Amaru is closed source and shared as a ready-built zip. The home page and Install explain how to open it the first time and how to check it.

A new look for this site, and Windows soon

  • The landing page was redesigned and now follows what the app does today.
  • Windows is in planning as its own native app. There is no build and no date yet.
  • Docs gained Claude Code permissions, the Services panel and an up-to-date network table.

Answer Claude Code from the notch

  • Optional: Claude Code permission prompts arrive in the notch as Deny, Always or Allow.
  • You install the hook yourself. If Amaru is closed or you do not answer, Claude Code asks as usual.

Themes, pop-ups and island settings

  • Five notch themes: Classic, Peek, Peek Light, Glass and Pill. Peek's eyes can be the idle look.
  • Pop-ups with a level ring and a big number for the charger and Bluetooth devices, plus a Pop-ups page in Settings.
  • Choose how fast the notch opens (Quick, Normal, Slow) and how soon it closes, and set its width.
  • On first launch you pick the features you want, and the floating dock is marked Experimental.

AI services, OpenCode Go and costs

  • A Services panel shows what Amaru reads from each AI tool. Sign in runs the tool's own login in Terminal.
  • OpenCode Go plan limits, from the key OpenCode stored or one you add in Services.
  • Estimated costs from a built-in price table, with custom prices, an optional weekly update and USD or IDR.
  • The Usage tab got four pages and smoother motion.
Name

Dock is now Amaru

  • New name across the app, its permission prompts and the browser extension.
  • New icon: Peek, peeking over the edge, in the app icon and as a template icon in the menu bar.
  • The build is now Amaru.app. Your settings and permissions carry over.

Notch looks, idle slots and volume

  • Three looks: Classic, Glass and Pill, a floating capsule that also suits screens without a notch.
  • Choose what sits beside the camera when nothing is happening: clock, battery, today's tokens, plan left or a pet.
  • Your pet hides behind the camera when the pointer passes and peeks out on the other side.
  • Optional volume indicator for a moment after you change the volume.

Agents, forecasts and lyrics in the closed notch

  • A banner when Claude Code or Codex is waiting for your answer, with a button back to your terminal.
  • The current lyric line in the closed notch, and a per-song offset when lyrics run early or late.
  • Forecast of when a plan limit runs out at your recent pace, and a banner two hours before.
  • Plan resets in the notch calendar. Browser song titles tidied ("SONG · ARTIST").

Pets

  • Eight companions in native, pixel and illustrated styles, with coats, accessories and names.
  • Pip dances when music plays and watches when a film is on.
  • Notch banners for charger, battery, network, downloads, calendar and finished terminal or VS Code tasks.

Any app's music, more AI tools

  • Now Playing from any app, with equalizer bars in the notch and the right app badge.
  • Token usage from OpenCode, Gemini CLI, Qwen Code and Hermes Agent, next to Claude Code and Codex.
  • Synced lyrics from LRCLIB (off until you turn them on).
  • System page: CPU, GPU, memory, disks, network, battery and top processes. Add-ons page.

AI usage

  • Token and cost dashboard by day, month and model, read from local session logs.
  • Side rail with plan limit rings and a card per tool.
  • Agent sessions and plan limits in the notch.

Coding, focus and the shelf

  • Coding page for local servers, builds, Docker and Git.
  • Pomodoro that survives a restart, to-do list, notes and quick apps.
  • Shelf+, gestures, camera mirror, Bluetooth and download activity.
  • Browser media and focus rules through a paired Chromium extension.

Real data only

  • The notch shows your real music and calendar; sample data was removed from the app.
  • Smoother hover previews, keyboard navigation in both panels and a tighter dock.
