Vyre Lumen on Mac
Vyre Lumen, one key away on your Mac.
Press Option-Space over any app. Ask, send to an agent, or pull an answer from your memory. Your agents run on your server, and Lumen is the window.
Sample data.
A small window, over everything.
- Option-Space, or Control twiceOpens over any app, a call or a doc. Esc closes it.
- @ an agent or a projectThe message goes there, and the destination shows before you send.
- Answers from memoryIf your memory knows, you get the answer with its source. No model is used.
- OversightWhen an agent works on your Mac or in Chrome, Lumen shows the plan, and you can pause, stop, edit a step or say something.
- Touch IDUnlock your vault with Touch ID or your vault password.
- Your keysYour own shortcuts, # tags, module commands and spoken replies.
Install the command line, then build Lumen.
Set up your server first, at vyre.run/setup. Then, on your Mac:
- Install the command line. Vyre is not on npm yet, so it installs from a tarball on vyre.run.
npm i -g https://vyre.run/box/vyre.tgz - Pair this Mac with your server. It looks for your server on your tailnet and prints a code. Approve it in your Deck.
vyre up - Build Vyre Lumen. It builds from the package on your Mac; nothing is downloaded. If it asks for the Command Line Tools, run
xcode-select --installfirst.vyre capsule install - Press Option-Space. No extra permission is needed. Control twice needs Input Monitoring.
A Mac that stays on can be your server too. The same setup line works there.
Known gaps in 0.2.1
- Lumen is built on your Mac, not downloaded. There is no signed Mac download yet.
- Lumen is self-signed, not notarized, so macOS may ask for your permissions again after an update. Notarization comes next.
- Some Lumen features come later: text expansion, script commands, AI presets and browser tabs.
Questions about Vyre Lumen on Mac.
Do I need the Mac app to use Vyre?
No. Your agents run on your server and the Deck opens in any browser. Lumen is the fastest way to ask from your Mac.
Can my Mac be the server?
Yes, a Mac that stays on can be the server. A Linux server is the best home, because agents keep working when a laptop sleeps.
Why does it build instead of download?
There is no signed Mac download yet. Building on your Mac from the package means nothing unsigned is installed. A notarized download comes next.
Does Lumen need Touch ID?
Only to unlock your vault. Asking and sending what you asked for do not.
