A calmer first launch, you pick the workspace, Empryo asks for less

Empryo 3.0.1-beta, released Jul 3, 2026. Part of the 3.0 line.

Release notes

A focused follow-up to the v3 beta that makes the desktop app's first moments calmer and more predictable, and asks your OS for a lot less.

Highlights

  • Always start at the workspace picker. The desktop app no longer reopens your last project on its own. You choose the workspace on every launch, recent ones are one click away, so your codebase graph indexes exactly the folder you meant, and nothing else.
  • Far fewer permission prompts. Empryo doesn't touch a single file or open the network until you pick a workspace, and it no longer asks macOS or Windows for local-network access it never used. It only ever asks for what it actually needs, when it needs it.
  • The right theme from the first frame. The picker and loading screen now follow your system light/dark setting instead of briefly flashing the wrong palette.

Under the hood

  • The bundled agent sidecar now ships with a stable, hardened identity instead of an anonymous one, so the file access you grant is attributed to Empryo cleanly.

Same graph engine, same workshop, just a gentler way in.
