v26.06.1

macrift can now preview and undo changes, snapshot your setup, run plugins, and install from Homebrew.

Highlights

• Reversible by design — apply previews exactly what will change; undo rolls any session back from a journal; drift shows what's diverged since. Settings, packages, dotfiles, plists — nothing applied blind
• Snapshot your Mac — save captures your settings + installed packages into one manifest, re-apply it on a fresh machine
• Plugin platform — install, update, and write your own plugins (add / remove / update / info / lint / restore) from a catalog, any GitHub repo, or a local path; author contract in PLUGINS.md. The built-in Claude Code and Spotify setups are now the claudemac and misc plugins
• Homebrew — brew install emylfy/macrift/macrift, with pinned, checksum-verified updates

New

• Subcommands — drive macrift from the shell: fix / gk / check, plus a one-shot install
• Free ⌘Space — disable the Spotlight shortcut from the menu (was a manual System Settings click)
• fastfetch logo gallery — browse and apply
• Tahoe (macOS 26+) — compatibility sweep (e.g. hides Launchpad, removed by Apple)

Changed

• TUI rework — arrow-key navigation, esc to go back, submenu › / external ↗ affordances, width-clamped menus
• Shell menu reworked; Catppuccin folded into shell-colors
• Customize menu works without Homebrew

Security

• Quarantine sudo escalation is now opt-in

Fixes

• Update no longer reports success on a failed download, and won't offer a downgrade
• Hardened menus so a failed install can't crash the TUI (dock, cleanup)
