Unzip the download, move ProductivityMon.app to Applications, and open it there. This build is unsigned and not notarized. If macOS blocks it, review the app in System Settings → Privacy & Security before choosing Open Anyway.

Native tests, Metal transparency, and a signed-out launch passed. Sign-in, earning XP, permissions, and companion behavior still need verification on a physical Mac. The bundle includes 952 normal models and matching shiny variants for every supported species.

New in alpha.10.

Automatic updates with verified release signatures, background downloads, and a restart action in Preferences. Refreshed desktop panels, app and website icons, and friendly app names. Browse the Pokédex grid with search and discovery filters, use timed lures for encounters, and collect shiny mons. This release also includes the transparent friends board and Discord links in Preferences and the tray menu.

What's in the box.

• Transparent desktop companions that wander, rest, perch on windows, and react to petting.
• Activity tracking, focus sessions, XP, daily goals, and progress history.
• Wild encounters, balls, the shop, expeditions, and a growing collection.
• Friend codes, a friends board, trades, and hiscores.
• A shared hosted account server with PostgreSQL persistence and daily backups.
• 952 bundled base-form models, their shiny variants, and companion pictures.
• Per-user installation, a Start menu shortcut, and an entry in Windows' installed-apps list.

A few rough edges.

• Platform support. The Windows x64 alpha needs DirectX 12. Apple Silicon Macs have an experimental alpha above. Linux is not supported.
• Unsigned build. Windows may show a publisher or reputation warning. The checksum below identifies this release artifact.
• Model coverage varies. 73 of the 1,025 species do not have a supported base-form model in this bundle. Their collection and encounter controls remain available in the panel. Some supported models also have visual quirks, including Gastly's gas.
• Sign-in required. Install the latest alpha to connect your desktop. Existing guest progress can be linked when you sign in from that installation.
• Automatic updates. The new installer checks for updates and downloads them in the background. Restart when ready, or let the update install when you quit. Existing installations need one manual upgrade to enable this.
• Alpha service. Expect occasional restarts and bugs. Progress is stored on the shared server, but the alpha has no uptime guarantee.
