What is macos-app-no-xcode?

A build method for making native SwiftUI macOS apps from one Swift file, without creating an Xcode project. It covers menu-bar apps, floating panels, admin prompts, signing, and custom app icons.

Use it to create or update menu-bar apps, floating HUD-style panels, and graphical administrator prompts on macOS. It can also create custom icons and build the app with swiftc, Apple's Swift compiler.

It removes the need to manage an Xcode project when building a small Mac app. It also provides a defined way to sign and package the app for shipping.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5	$0.00066	$0.01139
Opus 5	$0.00033	$0.00570
Sonnet 5	$0.00013	$0.00228
Haiku 4.5	$0.00007	$0.00114

Security

Grade A, and why

macos-app-no-xcode scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
