glitch-os (public)

Reviewed: 2026-07-08 Status: public release surface Brand surface: sn.ifth.is/defrag

glitch-os is Art Seabra's toolkit of small, sharp utilities for creative work.

This public repository only carries published, public-ready apps and their signed / notarized release artifacts. Development source, internal instructions, and unreleased work live outside this public surface.

System Position

Pulse is a shipped Studio utility, not a primary ÆrrSystem front-door surface. Public identity should point to Pulse directly when the utility matters, and avoid using glitch-os as the headline.

Published Apps

App	What it does	Status	Download
pulse	macOS menu-bar utility that keeps specific external drives awake through real I/O activity.	v1.0.0	Pulse.dmg

Each published app has its own subdirectory with a product-facing README.

Public-Readiness Gate

An app appears in this repo only after it ships a signed, notarized release. The gate is explicit:

• public_ready: true in the app's own README.md frontmatter
• Signed with a Developer ID Application certificate
• Notarized via Apple
• Stapled with the notarization ticket
• Verified to pass spctl --assess (Gatekeeper)

Verifying A Release

xcrun stapler validate Pulse.dmg
spctl --assess --type open --context context:primary-signature -v Pulse.dmg

Public Boundary

This repo is the public shelf, not the full workshop. If a tool is not listed here, it has not passed the public-readiness gate.
