Changelog

New updates and improvements to Lawn.

v0.3.0

Richer app settings, sleep prevention, and status indicators

App settings can expose dropdowns and radio buttons instead of free-text fields. Minecraft ships with 17 pre-built options. Lawn keeps your Mac awake while containers are running, warns you before quitting with apps still up, and shows colored status circles in the menu bar.

v0.2.0

Local domains, install progress, and CLI improvements

Apps are reachable at clean `.local` hostnames alongside their `localhost` ports, routed through a built-in reverse proxy. Lawn can launch as a menu-bar-only app, the install sheet shows detailed download progress, and the CLI gains `rename`, `autostart`, and `experiments` commands.

v0.1.5

Bulk actions and catalog sorting

Start, stop, or remove multiple apps at once with bulk actions in the App menu. The catalog is sorted alphabetically, so apps are easier to find. Plus a fix for sidebar order stability after installs and restarts.

v0.1.4

Persistent sidebar, new catalog app, and install improvements

A persistent split-view sidebar makes switching between installed apps and the catalog instant. Drag to reorder, install a self-hosted GitHub Actions Runner, and see auto-generated login credentials in-app for Grafana, Nextcloud, Paperless-ngx, and Pi-hole.

v0.1.3

New apps, multi-window, and resource controls

Minecraft Server, Sonarr, Radarr, and LibreSpeed join the catalog. App instances open in their own window with Cmd+Shift+N, take memory limits via a new Resources tab, and start in parallel for faster boot times on multi-container apps.

v0.1.2

Stability and reliability improvements

Stability pass on the inspector and installed-apps UI: cleaner banners, sharper dividers, and a fix for a critical issue where apps could fail to start or lose network access. Pending edits save reliably when you switch tabs.

v0.1.1

The app catalog grows to 30+

26 new apps land in the catalog, including Actual Budget, AdGuard Home, AFFiNE, and Audiobookshelf. A new integrated terminal lets you shell directly into any container, and a configuration inspector edits environment variables in a side panel that auto-saves as you go.
